so, it's not a moral issue, it's a rules issue. I agree on that......so if MLB made it legal, would it then be ok to take, HGH for example?
-
I was responding to "I'll never understand why people put things in their body that are bad for them"..... again, is this a moral issue?
-
so, adults shouldn't be allowed to do things, because kids might? You feel that way about alcohol? Or other legal activities?
-
so, if it is legal, like most PEDs, it is ok?
-
Things we put in our bodies that cause long term issues nearly every day; sugar alcohol ibuprofen pesticides ..... the list is endless, and none of use have a huge financial incentive to do so. Also, and I know you won't all agree with this......many PEDs are not harmful long term. Many of them will be fairly common drugs for all of us in the next generation....since their role is to help our bodies recover from damage.
-
Like, moving your leg ligament to your arm? Like that? Slippery slope arguements are not good arguments. No one is arguing to allow bionics. Why is a pain killer ok, but not something that actually heals the damage to the muscles? Why is surgery ok, but not SOME drugs (while others are)?
-
so, if they break a leg, they should not take drugs? What if they have a headache, should they take drugs? What is the line, between a pain killer, and a drug that actually helps the muscles recover? Isn't the second one actually better, morally?
-
There is plenty of money to be made in building all new stuff that no one else is currently building, but yes, protecting the past money is usually what we do......
-
Why isn't it morally right? It's a choice, like choosing to eat differently, or train differently, or whatever.
-
So, they all have equal access to trainers, food, coaching, doctors, etc? I don't expect people to agree.......but the VAST majority of these drugs are about keeping a body healthy despite them beating the crap out of their bodies. I fail to see how that is bad for anyone.
-
I don't understand why it matters if we are adding to a natural cycle, or the major cause of the movement in temperature. I also don't understand why it matters if this is natural or not..........we have the opportunity to mitigate the damage to our species. We should take that opportunity, while doing our best not to alter the world in bad ways. There are small, low risk, things we can try. If they don't work, fine......
-
Most PEDs are not about strength, they are about trying to help your body recover from the constant beating it takes.
-
PED bans are stupid. Most of them are about staying healthy over the long season. I don't expect any of you to agree with me.
-
Even with losing one of the best young hitters in baseball.....the Cubs are pretty good.
-
Or, since it is such a down year, just randomly throw darts after round 2 or 3.....and don't stress so much over something they have such little control over. But, that's just not how we roll in big companies......
-
I don't understand the FEAR of using a young player in a key situation. But, I agree, they won't. Very well written, btw.

Sigh.....even with giving my sons outrageous sums to help them, one of them is going to owe more in student debt than I currently owe on my house......
-
I see what you did there....

And completely dries out much of Peru and other nations that rely on snow and glaciers......

Unfortunately, I agree with this.

Give Alex Meyer A Chance To Start
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
As Brock reminded me yesterday, we are best off not trying to figure out the plan...... -
You also don't have to move Sano........and, Sano isn't Bryant....... So, they should have no CF, and only DH types? You have to take context into account when building your team, you can't field 9 David Ortiz's just to get his bat in the lineup. So far, Sano has looked brutal in the OF. Maybe they should see if Plouffe looks less brutal.
-
Good idea, frankly.
-
I don't really believe in hot......he's just not that good.

Bummer!
