Avoid The 'Roids
Steroids are coming back to haunt another baseball season.
100 names and you have to imagine that some of these names will be on the back of the jerseys you wear. Does it matter to the fans? Will the fans find themselves feeling cheated? Soon we will find out, because some lucky sports writer will dig them up. When he or she does you can bet that our sports broadcasts will be littered with steroid talk as each of the accused step up to the plate. Baseball is going to lose me here.
I'm not going to stop watching baseball or stop reading the box scores. I will wince everytime Joe All Suck on My Buck and Joe Bore-gan remind us that so and so was on the list. That so and so has gone through so much and still produces or that maybe his current struggles are because of the poison in the well of his mind. I'm bored with this topic.
Steroids had a place in baseball and so did greenies, acid, and alcohol. I am glad Jose Canseco opened his big dumb trap and exposed the shadows of baseball. The sport will become better because of him. Overall I just want the sport back and the drama out. I don't care who is on the list. I don't care about the records or asterisks. I want to see the double play and the gravity defying leap that makes a run saving out. I want to see the bottom of the ninth bases loaded strike out and the complete game. I want to see a game.

Agreed. Now that the "secret" is out, they should just admit it's no longer acceptable, continue to crack down and look to the future when we can say for sure the game was played as clean as possible.
Well, the past can't change. What are the tests from 2003 going to prove? Nothing much...unless Bonds's name is on the list of 100+ names that tested positive. Who defines clean anyway? Baseball has reluctantly implemented a drug policy at the strong urging of Congress. The 2003 results will open up a new debate as well. What records will stand? Will we just abolish the stats from the season? Will we abolish the stats of those who tested positive? Will there be a problem with HoF voting in 2008 or beyond because of that. I know, I know...they should blow up the HoF until they let Pete Rose in.
They should blow up the Ha....
Oh. I think they should leave the stats as they are because the players association and MLB had to have known this was going on. I am thinking they did. I mean after the lock out, everyone was hitting dingers! 2B were belting 20 HRs. Imagine Coca Cola leaving the market for the year and coming back with cocaine as apart of the ingredients. Boy would we welcome coke back into our lives! Until Jose Canseco gets fired from the bottling plant and exposes it. Then we hate the fact that we were duped but fond memories allow us to maintain course.
