Make no mistake: the MLB is clearly trying to help the Yankees out by getting them out of that contract. If it were any other team (besides maybe the Red Sox or Phillies) a lifetime ban wouldn't even be on the table.

I think its great, especially when the team in your city is winning. It's fun, to me, to look at the next series, the pitching matchups, etc.
When a team is losing 90-100 games it's really crappy, but it's still an awesome game when the team is competing. |

And Baseball has been on PED's since the 50's and before that they were drunks. |

The Hall of Fame is already full of admitted cheaters. Keeping McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, etc. out is essentially closing the barn door after the horses got out - not to mention an attempt to erase an entire era of baseball. The MLB and its writers are just throwing a hissyfit now because they all looked like fools once the steroid witch hunt began.

As a fan of baseball and sports I would love to go to the MLB HOF if Pete Rose was inducted.
However I wouldn't care to go or wouldn't give a shit to go see Alex Rodriquez in it.

I don't even understand why MLB doesn't put Pete Rose in the HOF after all these years? That would bring in a lot of folks and they would be able to charge 5 bucks more I bet.

I just don't get why any sport cares about PEDs. We've got wife beaters, druggies, killers, etc. that keep on playing.
Who cares if they are taking modern age supplements? These guys are tough on their bodies. Can't imagine doing it without medical help. And let me tell ya. If I was a borderline player with the chance to play in the NFL vs. sacking groceries? You better believe I'm shooting something up my ass!

I don't give a shit if an adult wants to take roids or whatever UNLESS they play a competitive sport. Then it's about being fair and level playing field etc.

So you agree that it should be allowed, then? Level the playing field. Don't need to worry about "cheating".

I just don't see how you can ban a player or treat them differently just because they tried to get an advantage that wasn't breaking the rules. All professional athletes do that to some extent. |
