the big deal is that the yankees got hit the hardest with this stupid report and the guy who wrote it is on the board of directors of the biggest rival. maybe its a coincidence. i dont think so. this guy got to pick and choose who he interviewed, i doubt he was interviewing red sox trainers and such.
Fucked your team in the ass?!?!??! How, exactly, have the Yankees been fucked in the ass? Will they be paying fines or something? Are they forbidden to field a team next year? Anyone who thinks this is a Yankee issue has either missed the point completely or is just not thinking straight.
Well, every single person on that list except Pettitte played the majority of their careers on teams other then the Yankees. Giambi too but his best years were in Oakland.
if this report doesn't mean anything then why is everybody making such a big deal about it. i dont think any fans wanted to see their players on that list. facts remain that this report had the biggest effect on the yanks by far.
You little crying, uninformed bitch. First of all, he was a Mets employee until 1995 - and as you know, there weren't really any prominent Mets early in the 1990s - it was the Mets. The most prominent you can get is basically people like Todd Hundley. Him? Named. Mo Vaughn was a prominent failure - he was named. Lenny Dykstra? Although best with the Phillies, was still a good Met. Him? You got it, named. And second, it wasn't just a Mets employee - it was a Yankee* employee naming people, too, hence all the Yankees*.
It's not like Clemens, Pettite, and Giambi had never been named before. So it's tough to blame him for those. I don't see how there's a clear bias here...Mo Vaughn was one of the most popular Sox of the 90's too.
Lo duca played here 2 seasons, no met fans gives a fuck about mo vaughn, he did nothing as a met. Hundley never played on a good mets team. Dykstra is the only one you can make a case for.
Only a dumbass would be naive to think no one on the mets 2000 team used roids. The same way no Cubs, Royals, Twins, White Sox etc used roids right? The report explicitly also says Stanton took steroids AS A MET not a Yank, but I guess no one on Los Mets does roids Clemens- Came along for the ride in 99 big part in 2000 Knoblauch- Bought and used it in 2001... after the championship years. Justice- reportedly purchased the stuff from a former Met clubhouse attendant around the start of the 2001 season. Grimsley- Allegedly took it in 2000, but checks only show purchases from 2001 on. Not a big contributor to the one world series anyway.(5.05 ERA that year) Naulty- Stated he stopped using steroids by the time he started playing for the Yankees for a short period. Neagle- Started in 2000, not a big contributor to the championship and the Yankees had won two titles before he even came. Hill- Played only part of one season with the Yankees. Used HGH before coming to the Yankees, purchased steroids in 2001. Pettitte- Reportedly used roids in 02 to recover from injury This impacts the glory run how exactly?
At the end of the day, nothing any Met fan can say can either a) give the Mets a WS or justify how the Yanks cheated them out of a WS in 2000 or B) Lessen the feeling I had and have about those 4 world championships :wink:
Most Patriots fans don't think their SBs are tainted either, doesn't change the fact that they are..:wink:
In the report not one of those players reportedly did steroids in a championship year or in the case of grimsley, meant anything to the team.(look at my post above)
I know but thats one example, doing it 2000 does not mean hey lets put an asterisk next to 96 98 and 99 as well. Say what you want about 2000, do you believe the Mets were completely clean? This report left so many stones unturned I think its hypocritical for anyone to be calling anyone out when their team probably had 5 or 6 guys on juice.
