HGH Testing is a Reality!

Re: HGH Testing is a Reality!

I guess that Joe Dimaggio, Ted Willams, Babe Ruth, Mantle, Mays...all of them were on PED's too. They put up similar stats. I guess it's impossible for a player today to have great seasons with hard work.

Albert puts up monster numbers. He transitioned from a 3B to OF to a gold glove 1B.

All through his life, he's been a 'beast'. The scouts didn't like him because he was fat, not because he wasn't talented.

MLB has been testing since 2003 - where are his positive tests?

But the guy accusing him has season tickets to Giants games! How much more proof do you need, geez.

Re: HGH Testing is a Reality!

This was the same response I got when I thought Arod and Manny were using.

As far as Albert being a triple crown canidate unlike bonds, sosa , and arod.

Didn't Barry hit for average (he won a batting title), home runs, rbi's, gold gloves, etc.?

Arod was a triple crown threat as well.

To put in perspective the only modern day players that compare with Albert's numbers Manny, Arod, Bonds.

I think a for a while Vlad Guerrero was in that category for a while. Mauer will be there soon, Lance Berkman has been there. Bonds and Manny too...

Someone has to be the best.

Re: HGH Testing is a Reality!

If A-rod can get busted and Manny can get caught, then why hasn't someone come forward with proof that Albert did something wrong?

(I'm whispering) ...If you wait (build it)....they will come.

If you honestly believe Pujols is as clean as Mr. Clean, then I got some beautiful land I'll sell and give you a great deal on.

Sad part is, we'll never know. Too many will get away with it and keep their mouths shut, while others take the heat (blame).

Yes Barry did all of those things BEFORE he decided that he wasn't happy being just one of the best and had to be THE best in the game because he couldn't handle "some white guy" (his words) getting more press than him.

Dave - I remember some scouts who defended themselves for passing over Pujols by saying that he "lied about his age". Again, Albert hasn't been proven on the age issue like Tejada and Furcal and Smiley and others.

I never heard the issue that maybe he was fat. It is amazing in the 1999 draft when Phat Albert dropped to the 402nd player taken overall.

I think the HGH test would prove once and for all about Albert or open up other issues if he loses size and his numbers drop off. The jury is still out on him and it should be innocent until proven guilty.

His 9 year MLB record has been amazing.
