GMJ (and others) STEROIDZZZ!!!!

[DbonezNY]

GMJ, Ankiel and others are about to be suspended for their role in taking/purchasing steroids.......

So you're saying it's not normal for pitchers to hit 3-run jacks?

LMFAO, something tells me venom is going to be lying low for awhile now for sure. :D

Sorry for the delay...but here's the story.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3078690

Gary Matthews Jr., Paul Byrd, Rick Ankiel and other Major League Baseball players who have been linked to human growth hormone in published reports face the prospect of a Bud Selig-imposed suspension if they are found to have violated U.S. law.

Citing a high-ranking major league official, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that Major League Baseball's commissioner hasn't ruled out such discipline for players even if they did not violate baseball's drug policy.

Major League Baseball did not ban HGH until January 2005, but steroids and HGH have been, and still are, illegal without a legitimate prescription.

SI.com reported earlier this year that Matthews ordered HGH in 2004. The Los Angeles Angels outfielder is expected to be called to Selig's office in November to discuss the report, The Times reported.

Byrd is the player most recently linked to HGH. On Sunday, the day of Game 7 of the ALCS, the San Francisco Chronicle reported the Indians right-hander had purchased nearly $25,000 worth of HGH and syringes between 2002 and 2005. Byrd said he was taking the drug under a doctor's care for what he described as a pituitary gland issue.

Byrd said the Indians and MLB officials knew of his condition -- "I have nothing to hide," Byrd said Sunday -- but both disputed the pitcher's claim. Baseball officials said they want to discuss the matter with him.

MLB also is bracing for the release, sometime in November or December, of the report of former Sen. George Mitchell's steroid investigation. In the time since Mitchell launched the probe 18 months ago, many have wondered whether the final report would reveal names.

It appears that will happen. Some officials came away from a 30-team MLB conference call recently with the understanding that Mitchell's probe into the use of performancing-enhancing drugs in the game would include many names, names which have so far not been disclosed publicly, and the names of well-known players.

According to those familiar with the conference call, Tom Carlucci, a lawyer for MLB, told the team representatives on the conference call that the report is going to be "salacious."

Meanwhile, Selig's office has started to receive information from the New York investigators leading a national probe into Internet drug trafficking, the official said. Documents and other supporting evidence could help Selig determine whether to impose a suspension -- and could help his lawyers in arguing any suspension should survive a potential grievance hearing.

PS. I sent him a PM

[Big Studly]

wow, GMJ was on roids and a 40 year old still out played him this year? That is sad.

So you're saying it's not normal for pitchers to hit 3-run jacks?How is a 3-run homerun any different than a solo homerun, as far as the physics/mechanics are concerned?

[306LX]

Cleveland's pitcher (Byrd) sure looked like he was on the juice..

How is a 3-run homerun any different than a solo homerun, as far as the physics/mechanics are concerned?

The 2 extra runners on the base path displace a certain volume air, in turn making the air above and around them more dense. The denser air makes the ball harder to travel through, thus making a 3-run HR more difficult than a solo shot. This is also why there are less Grand Slams hit than any other HR. Of course, this only applies to games played in dome stadiums because the volume of air remains constant.

you are forgetting about the effect of body heat on the air directly adjacent to the extra persons on base. The convective heat transfer from the person to the air causes the air to heat up, and actually becomes less dense closest to the player, causing the air to move from the more dense to the less dense creating a swirling effect which effects the trajectory of the ball and ultimately makes it harder to hit a home run.

Now that's just rediculous.

[CJD]

WTF??? Is this a baseball thread or Science Class 101????

[DbonezNY]

Sarcasm 101......obviously....you failed.


WHERE'S SVT??????????

Hey there, Mr. Engineer. Please explain to me how the heat transfer is convective from someone on base, to the air. :D


I mean, natural convection maybe. But you're arguing something that really, in the grand scheme of things, has absolutely no effect on anything.


I like arguing with engineers. You'd think they were smart.... But they're not.

I like arguing with engineers. You'd think they were smart...Big Studly is the exception.

no, not maybe...when air changes temperature it changes density and ultimately pressure, when there is a pressure differential, you have "flow". As the air begins to flow, it causes convective heat transfer.

and...I think it was pretty obvious that it has no effect on anything, but thanks for playing
