Charlie Sheen used steroids for "Major League"

I read it, so you don't have to. Worf loves ya, baby!
Here are the highlights:
* Reds fan, but switched to the Yankees because of Reggie, which only makes him an even bigger douchebag. (I didn't mind Reggie, but I wouldn't have switched teams for him)
* Got a tryout. Got his ass kicked.
* Steve Yeager is basically Tom Berenger in the movie. You see a baseball move, it's not Berenger
* James Gammon could drink you under the table
* Sheen had to throw on no days rest, hence the roids.
* He would do another movie. Of course he would.
* Dennis Haysbert could hit the ball.
* The Willie Mays Hays catch is CGI (or what passed for it). Wesley Snipes actually made the catch, but it didn't show on camera.
* He hated the lightning bolt haircuts.
* He is still a weird dude.
I suppose there is an interesting conversation to be had about the role of steroids in Hollywood. (Does anyone REALLY believe that Tobey Maguire, Matt Damon, Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman and everyone else who bulked up did it naturally?)
But maybe the next Hollywood star admitting steroids can provoke that.

Interesting...
When I saw the script it wasn’t like catnip, it was like crack.
So that’s where it started….
Also
* James Gammon could drink you under the table
Wade Boggs accepts this challenge.
I'd recite a toast over James Gammon's gravestone
But only if Wade Boggs was also raising a glass.

Sylvester Stallone swears by HgH...
…says he’s been using them to bulk up for films since his mid 40s. And we thought only Drago was using.

Charlie Sheen taking steroids for a baseball movie is called Method Acting
He deserves an Oscar for true to life performance.

Why do people care about Sheen anymore?
It was funny for about 15 minutes, the schtick is over now.

Duh, winning!

If you disagree with me in any way, you are wrong.

I am very surprised that he used riods in that movie
because he still had the body of a 12 year old boy
Last December when I was with New Orleans, our fat punk kicker, Garrett Hartley, missed a game-winner and we lost for the second week in a row – that was one of the times you want to grab a guy and tell him to [bug ] off," Fujita said. "But Hartley was young, and I didn’t want to mess him up for good, so I just bit my lip and said, ‘Hey, man, don’t worry about it — it was a team loss,’ which of course was a total lie."

I'm Glad the Real Rick James Was In That Segment
That’s still my favorite Dave Chappelle segment.
2012 - The 104th time is the charm.
It's brilliant
It’s maybe the most brilliant sketch in the history of TV

Round out the top 4 with Sandlot and I literally don't care what order they go in...
depends on the day and my mood.
I still like Major League 2 the best...
The first one is still very good though.
It's a still-life of a still-contending team in circumsances that were still more unlikely
Than anything that’s ever happened in real life. Except the 2004 (or was in ‘98?) Astros. They were 120 games under .500 at the ASB and still came back to win the wild card and represent the NL in the WS. That’s still the single best late-season run I’ve ever seen.

At the all-star break none the less... would really really suck to start the season around 0-40.
Big hole to dig out of on day 1 – it’s no wonder they went 0-80 the through the whole first half.
Haysbert may be able to hit the ball
but he throws like a girl

I wish...
…That Dennis Haysbert would have put that guy in the boston crab until he crapped his pants. Anytime I wish anyone a Happy Fathers Day, I do so making sure to exclude Martin Sheen from such a conversation.
He should remove what he gave to the world.
Can't we go ahead and officially replace Wayne Messmer with Dwight Smith?
Wow, that's an awful lot of completely unwarranted animosity towards Charlie you've got there
I think he’s an idiot. It doesn’t make me mad that he exists.
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
Ever seen '2 & 1/2 Men'?
My tongue in cheek, sarcastic commentary was completely warranted.

Defending Charlie Sheen.
Is a stupid battle, not worth fighting.

No one is defending Charlie Sheen - they're saying your comment was stupid and unwarranted
Which is was. Try and see the difference.
Besides Martin Sheen also gave us Emilio who could possible hate Emilio

Oh, I see
I get it now.
Some people are completely void of personality and character.
People aren’t supposed to say stupid or unwarranted things on the internet.
Lets take a baseball message forum a little more seriously.

Just looked at your profile.
You style yourself a comedian and performer.
Good for you. Doesn’t come across well here.

Just looked at your profile.
Is it really necessary to write in the third person?
Listen-
I really don’t give a crap.
For the most part, I’m here to discuss baseball. I’m not going to walk on eggshells. That’s the nature of the internet. Differing backgrounds, intellects, senses of humor, etc.
I’m not here to make friends. But it’s not like I’m going out of my way to make enemies. I’m here to talk about the Cubs.
Relax.

You're new here.
You might want to read the community guidelines and posting tips first.
There’s a culture here. You want to be part of it, you might want to see what it’s like first before riding in here like a wild elephant, trampling all over things and making comments that you think are funny, but really aren’t.
I take a very dim view of that “nature of the internet” argument. Be nice to people here, that’s all I ask. If you can’t do that, you’ll be asked to leave.

It's a shame I can't convey-
…Just how pathetic of a threat that is.
Yet again, you’re taking your website too seriously.
This isn’t a foreign country where visitors need to to acclimate themselves with cultural differences and a language barrier.
If you’re asking me NOT to insult the intelligence and difference of opinion that occurs on a baseball message board- Hey, no problem. That’s simple respect.
But, if you’re going to be an uptight, bedwetting virgin about making light of Rick Sutcliffe’s humorous on-air booze filled rant, or Charlie Sheen being an overpaid, drug addicted d-bag…Then, go ahead and delete me now.
And the same 10 cliquey, boring users can bicker back and forth, taking the internet too seriously.
If you want to over-moderate, go ahead. No skin off my back.

Calling out the moderator of this site...
… when you’re new here, will not make you welcome here.
I think I will ban you. You clearly don’t belong here. Goodbye.

Wow?
Not unexpected from someone who often is condescending here.
This new person barged in and trampled all over the community guidelines, then when I called him out on it, he did it again.
I don’t need or want people like that here.

How was he violating the community guidelines?
He agreed he’d be respectful to other posters, just that he wasn’t willing to back off on his opinions of celebrities. All he’s guilty of is calling you out on your post, which was basically “fit in or else”.
I’m not saying I approve of this poster’s attitude at all, but there’s posters here who are far worse. I would think that bans would be a weapon of last resort for a forum moderator, not a way to control the makeup of the community, which seems to be how you use it. You even banned Shawn Goldman once, and he’s one of the best things about this place.
Shawn and I had a discussion about that.
It was a misunderstanding.
I really don’t like banning people, no matter what you might think. I DO use it as a weapon of last resort. I just want people to be respectful. This individual was not.
