Curt Shilling on Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds...

[madinmaryland]

On the Dan Patrick Show this morning...

DP: Do you think he really believes that it helped him just come back from injuries and didn't help him hit home runs?
CS: I don't know. I love Mark. I've always had a likeness for Mark. We weren't close friends, but I got to know him and I like Mark. People always ask me about the McGwire and Bonds thing. I despise Barry, so there's a bias there. But they're no different from my perspective. They both cheated, along with a lot of other people.

DP: What is it about Bonds?
CS: Barry and I knew each other a long, long time ago. I just always had a problem liking people who treated people as less-than, as sub-humans. You want to find out about a player, talk to the trainers and the clubhouse guys. When you find players that treat those people like dirt, those generally tend to be the guys that are just bad people.

:evilgrin:

2. Heh!

The question is who is hated more here, Bonds or Shilling?

:D

[Auggie]

3. So? Like I care what Schilling has to say???

He campaigned for George Bush. Fuck him.

Do not imply this is in defense of steroids, McGwire or Bonds. All four them can die of painful rectal bleeding for all I care.

4. lol

I think he makes some good points especially the part about some of the writers using their vote as a platform to write an article and that it doesn't seem right considering these players work their entire lives to achieve something.

I also found this to be funny. watching Joe Carter hit that home run. I was obviously devastated, but not initially. My first thought was "Oh, my God." My first thought was "I just witnessed one of the greatest moments in the history of the game. How cool. Oh, my God, we just lost." :rofl:

5. Nothing about Ortiz or Ramirez, eh?

THINK BLUE

GO DODGERS

BEAT THE HATED GIANTS

[Captain Hilts]

17. Ortiz needs to get his money for steroids back. nt

[PVnRT]

6. He has a "likeness" to McGwire?

They look nothing alike.

[JonLP24]

7. I think that he meant that he liked him as a friend or a good acquaintance

based on the comment before that, "I love Mark".

8. "I just always had a problem liking people who treated people as less-than, as sub-humans." -- CS

Yet, you supported Bush for president?

10. Bonds hit bombs, Bush dropped them.

Still hate them both though. :)

11. Schilling is as big a douche as Bonds and McGwire.

Just for different reasons. :)
