Pitched ball that bounces

[Pete in AZ]

I wish I could say Paradise Valley but I'm between Tucson and Phoenix, Casa Grande is the name.


As Floyd Landis would say about calling the play, I knew I was correct but I needed to be positive.

Come on now, it finally took the French 8 years to nail an American. They couldn't do it with Lance and now they have their scapegoat. I have no clue whether Landis did anything illegal or not but one thing is for certain, the French hate us winning on their turf.

The French always hate us, until the German Army decides to cross their border.

Combien sucent-ils ? La France est le seul pays à défaire dans une guerre par l'Italie.

Encore, bon effort. Mais le programme que vous utilisez n'est pas le meilleur. Ce n'est pas un remplacement pour le knowlege de la langue. Vous écrivez en français comme une vache espagnole.

A Spanish cow? I wasn't aware that they were capable of writing. I didn't need translation for this. I don't know the language very well, yet am familiar enough with it to read and translate basic statements like "It is not a replacement for knowledge of the language." The program that I use is a simple translator, which is not intended to help win any literary awards. In fact, I could have said most of it, but needed the program for the necessary punctuation marks.

I speak fluent Spanish (Spanish Minor in college, 9 years total classroom study), so assimilating similar romantic languages is fairly easy on a rudementary level. I can say enough things in French to get me into trouble on the Riviera, but that's about all.

You mean to tell me that it's impossible to spike a water bottle with artificial testosterone and then pass it to a racer who you dislike when he grabs for water? I smell conspiricy here.

Floyd gets his water from the team car or other riders on his team, who get them from the team car.

As a cycling fan, I can tell you that he took something, that stuff in the quantity that it was in his body could not be naturally produced. It could be some of the cortisone, etc. he was taking for his hip, but I'm no doctor.

Here comes locked thread!

And by the way, they did it with Lance to, positive test in 1999 before they were testing for EPO, because they didn't have the test. They ran his sample years later and it came up positive for EPO, a chemical that increases your red blood cell count, which creates for longer endurance. But it was so far after the victory the statute of limitations had run up.

Why, there is no cycling forum for us to discuss it in? This seems like a waste of time thread now anyway, let's just use this one!

I say if they don't kick Barry out of baseball immediately, they should leave Landis alone. It's downright hypocritical.

Time for us losers to accept the fact that WE can't hit 70 homers a year. Now Barry's closest associate to BALCO may come forward and testify against him. Is that the proof everyone is waiting for? He plays ball because there is no PAST physical evidence against him. Barry's test are clean.

Everyone knows pitchers can't hit. Yet, the BABE would have probably hit 1000 homers if 1) he never pitched, and 2) he never smoke or drank, and 3) he worked out a little more between seasons. Why should Barry be the only one left to pay for the pied piper's legacy? MLB must celebrate his triumph or learn how to pitch to him.
