Baseball is better off without scum like him.NuttingHostagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761032476299220312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-87608596009422438962010-03-12T09:53:19.635-05:002010-03-12T09:53:19.635-05:00Regardless of the juice, etc, one of my favorite i...Regardless of the juice, etc, one of my favorite interactions with a pro ball player happened with BG...<br />Sitting in LF at PNC with several buddies having many cold beverages. Kids were around us so we were keeping it clean. During mid inning warm ups, I started yelling at BG- "Hey Brian, we've got a kid here who needs a ball" End of warmups, he turns, looks at me, throws one right at me (caught it with my left hand as my right hand was occupied with a $4 beer from Vincent's). I gave the ball to the kid right next to me as BG watched. <br />Gotta love it...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276500202052490961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-7766486554137874162010-03-12T08:48:10.342-05:002010-03-12T08:48:10.342-05:00You guys beat me to it.

I go to the gym everyday and it's easy to see the difference between guys who don't use anything (myself) and guys that do (about 10-20%).<br /><br />Looking at that picture of Giles, he is definitely using performance ehancement drugs.
