I find it rather amusing anyone thought otherwise.

Whats it going to take before the remaining baseball fans admit that Bud Selig and the owners led what once was the ‘national pasttime’ into a hell hole, at the bottom of which you find Ric Natureboy Flair and the WWF?

Give A Roid a feather boa, and be done with it.

Can't wait to see that jerk Roger Clemens go down in flames as well.

Can you get probation for lying to a Senate Committee under oath?

The question is ... which “top” players were NOT using these drugs during this timeframe. I believe that these years should be simply removed from the history books, and all admitted users should be barred from the Hall of Fame unless they can prove that they had enough high-performance clean years to warrant their induction without considering the dirty years.

What a shame for the game of baseball.

I grew up listening to the Twinkies on the radio and watching games on TV as a kid. back in the days of sluggers and hitters like allison, killebrew, carew to name a few .. I don’t think they used anything more than cigarettes and beer, but I could be wrong.

What I’m about to suggest is very much secondary to this story, but important nonetheless: NEVER believe anybody who says that your personal information will be kept confidential. If somebody wants to embarrass you bad enough — whether you are A-Rod or Joe-the-Plumber — you have records out there that can be dished at a strategic moment.

He’s not coming clean. He’s admitting he was dirty. Two different things.

I hope baseball is cleaned up before my son hits the majors!

Folks the owners are just as guilty as the players. They loved all the home runs hit in the steroid era because it put fans in the seats. They were not going to blow the whistle on the players and make baseball look bad and drive away fans. So they just looked the other way. Of the 104 players that tested positive in 2003, only Arod’s name was released. Somebody in baseball has a lot of explaining to do.

Once he signed the deal for the $252 million, we Seattle fans knew he was no good.

This just proves it.

Pay-Rod, A-Fraud, and now A-Roid.
