He’s all set. The storm has already passed. I would bet that he even gets re-elected the next time around.

no way

he may survive this firestorm to finish his term but in this cancel culture we now live in, his political career is over

Cancel culture only works in one direction, though. I really do believe that Cuomo will not only finish his term, but he’ll win re-election. You and I can wager on it at that time. But there is zero chance he resigns. There never was.

He was a monster from 2003 until the day he retired. Do you really think he was juicing that whole time?

He hits 58 HR over 6 seasons with the Twins, gets released

Gets signed by Boston in 2003, tests positive in that years' survey test, goes on to hit 483 HR over 14 seasons

I'm sure it's all just a crazy coincidence.

:noidea:

And he was still a monster at age 40, fourteen years later. I’ll ask you the same question: do you think he was juicing that entire time?

Undoubtedly. I'll ask you a question-before the steroid era, how often did 40 year olds (Not named Ted Williams) slug .600+?

How many times has it happened at all for guys who were 40? Ortiz would have taken 100 drug tests over that span. He never tested positive once. I also can’t imagine he could keep a PED regimen up that long, either.

It wasn’t like he was a stiff in MIN, by the way, they just didn’t want a DH-type in their system. He didn’t fit. He had a120 OPS+ his last year in Minny. He was 26 and just on the cusp of his prime. They blew it!

That's my point. It never happened (outside of the best hitter who ever lived). So I see Bonds do it, and I think I know why. I see Ortiz do it, and I think I know why. You follow?

I don’t think Bonds was using at that point in his career, either, btw.

Kinda like the story of an unknown 22nd round Cardinals prospect that never amounted to anything until the Cardinals dumped him in a trade at 27 for a reliever. The reliever they got back was a bust, but the prospect miraculously turned into one of the most feared sluggers in the MLB. And the Cards gave him away for next to no return! Crazy coincidence indeed.

Pinstripe bump! LOL


In all seriousness, it would not shock me if he was juicing. He looks like a freaking pro wrestler for chrissakes.

See how easy that was?
