Willie, Let me guess. :idea:

Did everyone see how [u:651b0933de][b:651b0933de]Mark McGwire [/b:651b0933de][/u:651b0933de] today admitted he took steroids (geez wed never guess looking at your neck/shoulders Mac) :!:

Mac said he took 'roids for 10 yrs b/c of a myriad of injuries, assorted maladies.

Big Mac said he took steroids not to get bigger, but b/c he owed baseball--management, teammates, fans--to get back on the field as quickly as possible b/c of the large $alary he was pulling down.

In apologizing, McGwire admitted he should have apologized 5 yrs ago when he appeared before congress & took the 5th. McGwire claims he hid his steroid use even from his family.

So do you believe him?

Not the 1st time the "injury" excuse has been used. Weigh in while we await the next few picks.

I PM'd Red Beards (in case no one else has). He signed up long ago, but probably forgot he joined. Hopefully he will see his PM soon and get things rollin'.

That's unfortunate in essence possibly an absentee owner. If he signed up quite some time ago & hasnt regularly posted here...well Houston we could have a problem. But, thats up to the commish, he runs the draft & Im sure he wants to give everyone ample time. And I concur.

So back to Mark. I'll give McGwire the benefit of the doubt, he used PED's mainly to recover from injury to return to the lineup quicker. But, cmon Mac you're no dummy, you're well aware of the benefits of steroids.

Then again, in the big guy's defense, originally he was taking [i:681935e799]"creatine,"[/i:681935e799] at the time not on the list of PED's.

Speaking of creatine my SEA Creatines won me a credit! On my birthday :!:

I PM'd him too...looks like he's active in ATG, but he signed up for this around Thanksgiving time.

We'll give him til 6pm EST Tuesday, so might be worth lining up a sub just in case.

Yeah signed up late NOV...perfectly understandable if he forgot about us. Man Id go crazy if I had to wait 6 weeks for a lg to start. Fortunately I found this just in the nick of time & filled out the last of 12 entrants just days ago. Ready to take my turn soon as the next few mgrs select.

Hope we dont have to resort to a sub, however, sure we'll find a taker for this lg--sounds like a FUN theme esp the twist giving three last place teams after 51 gms a chance to get better thru mini draft. Exc idea. Cool!

I won a credit last night also. However, my team lost 3 games in a row to blow(that's the operative word) a 3-1 lead.

I also just realized Red Beards is in a 99 League I'm in right now, so sent him message there as well. I think the APB will eventually get his attention!
