Alright....all kidding aside. How is your opinion, or mine or Will94 opinion "dangerous"? EVERYONE in here makes their opinions known everyday....no danger in opinons....
Increase ones HR total by very little over the years as they play more and develop is not even close to what I would consider circumstantial evidence. It is simply called developing as a hitter. (Casey is having his best 1/2 year ever this year. I doubt he is juicing now.) This is a pattern seen in many players and pitchers. Very few players come out as rookies and perform near as well as they do in their prime. Ask Sandy Koufax if he juiced.I will argue the integrity of this list, but with all we know today, you cannot look at any name on that list and say for sure they don't belong there.
In fact, Casey Blake has circumstantial evidence against him. Three home runs in 68 games played up until 2002. In 2003 he hits 17 home runs, 28 in 2004, 23 in 2005, etc.
That doesn't make him guilty, but that is a pattern we've seen before. It's not so funny anymore.

It doesn't bother me at all. I didn't considering cheating.Fine, I've removed the list, but not the link. It amazes me that people who are supposedly fans of the game aren't absolutely outraged that owners, players, and the commissioner turned a blind eye for years to cheating. They won't let Pete Rose in Cooperstown because of "the integrity of the game," but then market Barry Bonds chase after Hank Aaron's record when it's obvious that he is using steriods... a felony punishable by up to one year in prison for a first offense.

IF the owners, players, and MLB knew about it and allowed it to happen, it is not cheating.:up:up:up
Be careful now....some in here refuse to think that the owners had little to no part of any cheating going on in MLB....LOL!
The credibility of this site.

Is it cheating if I give my students a test and I allow them to share answers and help each other with the questions? Because I am allowing it, it is not cheating. Once I set the rule that they must answer their own questions and cannot share information, then the act becomes a violation and is considered cheating.
After reading the posts and thinking about it, I do have to change my mind on this point. I probably overreacted and this list, as long as it was stated that it was just a rumor, does not harm the credibility of this site. :upSorry....but I disagree here. NO ONE here is stating they are reporting it as fact...NO ONE is stating they have press credentials.
Kerry Wood's on the list.
Will someone please tell him that whatever drug it is he's taking, it's NOT working!!
I'm not buying this.
