I'll be rooting extremely hard for A-Rod to break Bonds' record.

 

GO A-ROD!!!!!!

I like 'ol Barry. He reacts to the press the same way I would if they kept shoving cameras in my face.

 

Even though he's been roided up for years.

Yeah well, Babe Ruth played in a segregated league, so his record shouldn't count either.

 

I've known several professional athletes. Heck I hung out with Trevor Hoffman and several other Padre's a few times when I lived in San Diego (I had a very well connected g/f at the time), and I knew a couple of of the Denver Broncos as well....And I'd say that there are more of them using some sort of performance enhancers than aren't. A LOT more. Barry just catches more flack for it because he's gruff with the press. Mark McGuire was using too, nobody rips on him. He got parades. That's because he was an affable guy to interview. Sosa corked his bats, and it was forgiven because he seems like a nice guy.

 

Of course, that's just my take on it...I'm not that big of a sports fan.

The phrase "Quality over Quantity" comes to mind.

 

I remember recently at a game a group of fans had a banner, which read something to the effect of:

 

Hank did it with class.

Babe did it with liqour (or something like that)

How did you do it, Barry?

 

 

Made me smile.

That too. Steroids don't improve hand/eye coordination as far as I know, just muscle mass and endurance.

 

I worked out for years and I never made it far in baseball because that ball got to the catcher WAY TOO FREAKIN' FAST for me to react, much less hit it.

If anything bulking up hurts you in baseball makes you less flexibly and mobile to swing. I have seen some bulky guys try and play softball they looked mean but couldnt hit the ball past the pitcher because there arms didnt bend.

 

To add some humor to the topic thought I would show this rookie card of barry (no disrespect meant to barry)

OUCH! :loser:

 

Actually it doesn't really tick me off that Bonds made it to the top. I could care less cause I dislike Baseball.

 

And besides, I'll take a steroid abuser making it to the top of the most prestigeous list in baseball anyday over a pro NFL Quarterback who runs a dogfighting ring. :cool:

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I just bought this. A minimum for me but, I don`t work anymore and don`t want the heavy update costs of the higher end tools. You would have to make money with them.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Even this tool has a $250.00 update cost after 2 years.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
