    Not just him, everyone. I'm just asking how 'random' these tests are. Do you really believe that MLB is serious about stopping the use of steroids?

    Guess you didn't major in English while in college, huh?

    Check this out:

    Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes, but possessive nouns do. Do not confuse the possessive personal pronouns its, your, and their with the contractions it's (it is, it has), you're (you are), and they're (they are).

    Choose the correct form of the pronoun.

    1. Mom thinks this book must be (yours, your's). (Its, It's) not mine.

    2. Is that (your, you're) car or (theirs, their's)?

    3. (Its, It's) their turn, not (ours, our's).

    4. Take all the clothes that are (yours, your's), but do not touch (theirs, their's).

    5. (Its, It's) (hers, her's) not (ours, our's).

    1. yours / it's (it is)

    3. it's (it is) / ours

    4. yours / theirs

    5. it's (it is) / hers / ours

    That was too easy. No hurt feelings but I am suspecting maybe a hurt ego on your part. You must be rattled today.

    Yes, I actually do. Why wouldn't they be? While fans love HRs, I think more and more fans were starting to hate the cloud surrounding many players and the rumored steriod use.

    Well, the first sign of a bad argument is resorting to calling out grammatical errors. Kudos to you, sir. Unlike you, I can admit when I'm wrong.

    I admit I was wrong when I put an apostrophe in yours. :rolleyes:

    Rattled? That's hilarious. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

    Why don't you go ahead and put me on ignore?

    Okay, then what is the reasonable explanation for his cranium blowing up like a beach ball?

    I'm sure there could be many explanations. I don't really lift weights or anything, nor do I take any of that crap you can get from GNC, so I don't really know. If you're basing your argument on the size of his cranium, then you may want to start looking for grammatical errors in my posts. :)

    BTW, just about to throw on Butch for you. :D

    So, he is hitting his peak past the age of 30 while everyone else is hitting their peak at 25 or so? I wonder why that is the case?

    I will give you the expansion but there was expansion in 1961, 1962, 1969, and 1977 and with the exception of Maris hitting 61 homers in 1961, there were no outrageous home run totals. I mean why didn't Hank Aaron start hitting over 50 homers in the '60s? The pitching could not have been as good due to the expansion?

    Because he is like everyone else who isn't on the juice - as he got older, his skills started to decline. They didn't decline a whole lot but after hitting 40 homers in 1971, he never came close to hitting that many in a season the rest of his career.
