Am I being overly sensitive or were the venerating and deifying every aspect of the Rangers from Ryan to Maddux to Washington to Hamilton, Belter, etc.? Especially Karros. Nothing new, I guess, but still annoying.

You weren't being oversensitive. They were doing just that.

Pretty typical for network announcers. They would have talked the same way about the Angels if you had the best record in baseball.

Good sportsmanship on your end for coming on here after a loss. Great game today. CJ lit it up.

I guarantee you if Pujols were doing what Josh is doing Fox would be all over that story too. I guess the real question to ask is what have the Angels done recently to hype on a national broadcast. Remember that's all national broadcasts do is hype the obvious.

CJ did his job and kept the Angels in the game and gave them a chance to win. That's what a good starter does. Your bullpen sealed the deal for the Angels today.

All the Angels really have for them to talk about is Trout, and the announcers talked him up pretty good. They talked about Wilson some, Bourjos a little, even Frieri. All things considered it was fairly balanced.

I had more problems with them calling the wrong names and not knowing who was in the game. But nobody's perfect.

People on twitter are asking if Josh is being drug tested, he is on pace to to break Barry Bonds record when he was on the juice.

Oh yeah, lets listen to the Twitter crowd. They're always so accurate.

Josh Hamilton gets tested several times a week due to his past drug and alcohol addictions.

The rangers are exciting to talk about and reached the ws the last two years. The angela are borderline boring and have done nothing the last couple years. It makes sense. It would be the other way around if we were lighting it up. Oh well.

HGH does not show up in urine tests.

It's sad how every time an athlete does something extraordinary these days, the druggie accusers start rumors. Best just to ignore all that junk. High profile athletes are under the microscope literally and figuratively these days anyway. For myself, I find it much more fun to enjoy the ride. Hamilton and Kemp are just plain fun to watch.

Didnt they admit to antler spray, and every time they would get hits give an Antler sign? LOL.

Well, baseball is hard, an nobody in history has hit as many HR as Barry Bonds, it took the juice to get to these feats. So Yes we must question when someone is putting up Juice numbers.

How do you know they're only taking urine?

All baseball players are tested frequently for PEDs. To think that one player could get around those tests is just ludicrous. Everytime a player starts having a good run there are fools out there that want to start rumors to stir things up and other fools that listen to them.

If you want to bad mouth somebody, go after Braun. He tested positive and got off on a technicality.

Hey, when your better than Barry Bonds at his peak of the juice era, someone people are going to wonder. It's called common sense. Nobody is accusing anyone of anything, just makes an eyebrow raise.

I like Hamilton, except when facing us, so personally I hope it is not true.

No, YOU must question it, not me. I prefer to let the experts handle the integrity issue.

Don't you think baseball has learned a few things since Bonds and McGwire were putting up thier numbers? Why do you think all of the testing procedures were implemented in the 1st place? It's really sad that people can't just give cudos to a player having a dynamic run.
