if I had access to hGH to fix my knees from running

Get me some while you’re at it.

/ I miss running

Now it’s Jeter’s turn.

Griffey had a reputation for being less than devoted to hitting the gym. guys who aren’t workout freaks don’t tend to take PEDs. as for Thomas he was always a big dude.

Players I would stake my reputation on saying they were clean.

1) Pedro
2) Me

And if I had access to hGH to fix my knees from running, I’d do it in an division-2 WR-trying-to-get-free-ESPN-publicity second.

Nah, none of those guys gets a pass. I’d put Thomas on the list of “probably not”, but you just don’t know, too many long careers with injury recoveries and homers etc.

Griffey, Thome, and Frank Thomas are the only 90′s sluggers I’d feel confident about being clean.

But yeah, few people outside of Boston love Pedro, but I’ll never acknowledge that. One year he gave up 7 runs to Toronto (?) in his first start, then maybe 7 the rest of the way till the break. He was ridiculous.

My favorite Mariano moment was when he tipped his cap to the Fenway crowd while he was being cheered after the rest of the Yankees roster was loudly booed.

Opening Day 2005, right after the Sox got their WS rings.

I don’t think anyone outside of Boston would say that Pedro is likable.

I’m sure there are enough jheri curl enthusiasts to stick up for him.

no love from the nucks?

the old man was charging him!

what the heck would you do in that situation?

Rivera is likable and one of the few presumed to be clean baseball players of his generation

Him and Pedro.

Pedro clean, stupposedly, but most certainly not likable.

But I don’t wish him any personal harm or hope for a PED scandal like I might with other members of NYY or other AL East teams.

I guess that makes you a better man than I.

not really gonna help the Yankees much anyway since closers generally don’t mean shit.

If you want to argue about the merit of saves, fine. But regardless of where Mariano was going to pitch he definitely would have helped the Yankees.

/Brewers pen blew 29 games last year. I’d throw a parade for somebody like Mariano coming to Milwaukee.

I’m not even putting Jeter or Griffey in that category.

really?

Griffey, Thome, and Frank Thomas are the only 90′s sluggers I’d feel confident about being clean.

Yes. That would be what a comma would indicate.

It was so clear that you had to go back and change it.

I still wish bad things on him.

Performance-wise against the Red Sox, yes.

I would like to see him have decent numbers this year and go out on top… not really gonna help the Yankees much anyway since closers generally don’t mean shit.
