naaaa..he didnt deny it, he took the 5th. cant come back on the 5th! i think he's coming out now becouse he got about 5% of the voting for the hall of fame!! probobly figures if he comes clean, sound remorseful....maybe he can get past this and get some better vote....

Exactly. He was denied the Hall of Fame and now he is doing all he can do to get in.

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

yeah. where's the morals. Why knock a drug that made him a healthier, better, faster person. idk. I know, i know...I'm not him though. I have a reason to my rhyme. that's not just for self gratification. Better health stands on the truth. Maybe he realy doesn't know the truth. Free pass. nah...I don't think so. Too big of figure. Too much impact. He chooses to back the negative. stick with that route. Make that kind of an impact. Solidify the negative.
Good job Big Mac..pfft

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

Listen to what he said:
"You don't know that you'll ever have to talk about the skeleton in your closet on a national level," he said. "I did this for health purposes. There's no way I did this for any type of strength use."
What a crock of shit. I thought maybe I might respect him for coming clean but obviously he is still full of shit.

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

Yea I hear ya, its just now its just gonna be another hit for people to blame on AAS and their "horrible" effects and "impact" on sports. WTF ever man...absolute crap..

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

What he told Costas, what he wanted you to believe, is that steroids had absolutely nothing to do with his performance.

Costas kept throwing him life preservers, giving McGwire multiple chances to acknowledge that steroids -- even as an unintended incidental effect -- helped him be a better player. McGwire refused all efforts, continuing to thrash about in the murky water that he would be the same 70-home run behemoth without steroids.

"Absolutely," he said. "I truly believe so."

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

maybe dzone. we'll never know. He was jackin 'em 525-550ft. 1 after the other. His bat speed was record breaking. Wasn't he coming around at close to 100mph. I remember a 98mph bat-swing. Sure, we all know that steroids are going to enhance that. But did it add 150' to his home runs? mmm...nah...I don't think so. Increase bat speed? sure. But only a couple mph, I would think. But, like I said. We'll never know.

I remember saying, "If he wasn't so jacked up, he wouldn't be pulling 'em so early, crankin 'em out left field." I think it might've slowed his swing some. Enough to hit center and right more, and shorten his distance a few ft. 70 could very well still be the number. He was a homerun hitter. That was his game. 49 his rookie season in '87. He's been crankin 'em out of the park all his life.

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

wow....49 his rookie season? thats pretty good!! if the pitures were to stay off juice, then i agree he might have hit 70!!! but....if the pitures are doing it, didnt it just even out the playing field? no one ever mentions that part of the equasion....its always the batter, lol...."he wouldnt have hit that number"...ok...if the pitures wernt on they wouldnt be able to throw at that speed!!! evens out if you ask me!

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

I don't know about the pitures, but, ofcourse, the pitchers were juiced as well.
But yes. Very good point. A juiced guy playin in a juiced game. The playing field is even. And big Mac is/was an exceptional player, regardless. juice or no juice. When he connected, they were gone. juice, or no juice.

great...another fukin english teacher!! i guess fuzo needs to change this to "english teachers geared"!!!

its just funny that for some reason, only the batter are using, lol...it's like, when they are up to bat they are juicing, but when they are out fielders, running down a hit and diving 50yrds to snag a ball out of the air, they're just baseball players, lol.....

Re: McGwire admits to steroid use

I just get so sick of the negative attitudes about AAS. Especially from miss informed, uneducated (on the subject of AAS), & bias opinionated people!!

I say "STOP PREACHING AND START TEACHING", educate and inform, don't just misinform and give half truths on the subject of AAS, by only emphasizing on some of the negative attributes, as there are many positive ones as well. The public just never hears the other side, the beneficial and useful ways that AAS's are used.

Ok I'll stop raving!! LOL



Stay Strong~~!!!
