Very encouraged that baseball seems to be doing most things right currently.

Pujols should sign as fast as possible.

Re: Report: MLB to begin testing for HGH in '12
I had the same thoughts about a certain St. Louis 1b. It will be interesting to see what his statistics are in 2012.

I'm shocked the union agreed to this.

Re: Report: MLB to begin testing for HGH in '12
Next year should be interesting.
fwiw, even though I'm pretty strongly anti-steroid, I've long had questions as to whether hgh were really as dangerous. Admittedly, I'm more ignorant on the subject than opinionated. Can anyone clarify this? I could google it, but I'm lazy. |

Takes about 6 months to really take hold in your system and do it's magic. Once you pass that 6 month mark you can go off of it for a few weeks at a time before it burns up, but it will still linger in your system during the time off. A MLB player to get real benefits off of it will have to keep the IU's coming daily all season. So it really becomes a Russian Roulette situation. Do it and hope they don't call your number or don't at all and hope your body doesn't fall apart. SIde effects while on HGH include bone growth that is mostly noticed by teeth becoming gapped, elbows and knees becoming more knobby and a forehead that blots out the sun. When you come off of it, a big tale tell is a big hard gut... So we shall see. We shall see.

Re: Report: MLB to begin testing for HGH in '12
I wonder how far off Prince Albie's stats will fall. NOt quite as far as Berkmans............ I'm betting some new "off season program" will have them showing up to camp smaller than ever.

Bud Selig is trying to rescue his legacy on the way out the door. And that is a very good thing for baseball.
