RE: Friendly Fenway Re: Nomar Dreams Of Finishing Career With Red Sox
Hard to prove a negative. It is certainly possible Nomar did steriods, but you leave out one of the most valid inferences - many high performing players from the 1990's and beyond have been proven to have used steroids or other PED's.
You tend to throw a lot of cow sh*t on the barn door. OK Nomar's body and possibly his injuries may indicate the use of steroids, but what "bizarre" injuruies and "bizarre" behaviour and responses are you talking about? The Nomar I saw every day was mild-mannered, quiet and level-headed guy. I never saw anything "bizarre" about Nomar, except maybe his nose ('roids?). This is what most frurstrated, wannabe shut-ins hated about Nomar, his "attitude". Same with Manny. I either had trashed the dougout after a strikeout, maybe some would like them more. Does nothing for me.
Unreasonable contract position? I'm glad he didn't take the contract, but the Sox offered him a contract, Nomar's agent engaged in negotiations as is the norm, and the Sox pulled the offer. That is unreasonalbe. Funny how we heard all about this contract negotiation from Luccino, while the supposed policy is not to discuss contract issues. Funny.

LOL, Nomar’s bizarre behavior screamed roids… his sudden bulking up for the infamous SI Cover screamed roids. His sudden and bizarre injuries screamed roids. His unreasonable position in contract negotiations screamed roids. His change in temperament to become erratic in what he said to media screamed roids. His sulking in the dug out screamed roids…. His bizarre method of responding to team management concerning the Achilles heal injury screamed roids… his bizarre responses to Boston media during his honeymoon screamed roids
Maybe Nomar did not do roids.. we may never know for sure.. but the laws of probability suggest otherwise.

Ok then,
I don't believe for a minute that Nomar was on steroids. Everything I ever read while he was with the Sox told me that he had an amazing work ethic when he played with the Sox. Boot camp type workouts in the off season.
I think he Felt hurt when he didn't get the support from Boston that he thought he deserved.

Does he LOOK like a juicer? WTH is that question for? You start out defending him, then there's that little implication. Are you suspicious of anyone who gets hurt now? I'd like to see this group suddenly come to life in response to the steriod claim.

I still appreciate all he did, including the 3 HR game I saw (the one on his birthday).
