Baseball - December 2007

It seems, the steroid use in baseball got national attention when Jose Canseco starting naming former and past players who used performance enhancing drugs. At the time, I thought he was a disgruntled loser who took steroids himself and wanted to take others down with him. But, does he receive some credit in this?

The Cardinals signed Bob Gibson's son and invited him to Spring Training. How cool will February and March in Florida be with the Hall-of-Famer hanging around camp again?

Don't you wish you had a Big League Dad to get advice from?

Do you think the league protects some players in these steroid tests/investigations? I wonder how much we don't know.

I was so proud of my team the Brewers for not having any cheaters and now they just signed a huge contract with Eric Gagne ( one of the steroid freaks ) . Shouldn't they be able to cancel the contract to keep the team clean and honest ?
If everyone dumped the cheats MLB would be cleaned up in a heartbeat .

Maybe the DEA should arrest some major league criminals too.

I still plan on going to my home team, Kansas City Royals games because their are revamping the stadium and it will look cool. However, besides that I dont plan on watching much baseball and I am sad to say it but MLB has dropped off my list of favorite sports to pay attention to.

How do you think being named in the Mitchell report will effect current players in MLB? Will they be suspended? How will fans take to them? Will they have a harder time negotiating contracts, and will if impact their ability to demand the top dollar?

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Releasing a report that links some of baseball's best to the use of performance-enhancing substances, former Sen. George Mitchell said Thursday it is critical that Major League Baseball restore the integrity of the game.

about all their world series victories trough the ninties when a good chunk of their players were "cheating"
I know that a good chunk were not but that does not change the fact that they played with an edge.

If we're going to do that to her it should be done across the board!
Cheating is cheating right?

Pete Rose, yes he gambled on baseball, but he be on his own team, not against them, and he did what he did as a manager, not a player, so that does not taint his playing career.

Shoeless Joe Jackson was never proved to have thrown the 1919 World Series. Yes, he did take the gamlbers money, BUT he hit .375 with 6 double, 1 Homerun and 6 RBI's in the 8 games and was the only member of the team aside from Buck Weaver who produced numbers.

What Clemens, Bonds, Pettite, Sheffield, Sosa, McGwire and the rest of these clowns did, is way worse in my mind.

I'm a Yankees fan, but not a total homer. I realize this is bad and if there is proof I must say...no. But no proof=yes.

Baseball is experiencing record attendance and record revenues in this era of steroid cheats. Why do you think that is? And what does this say about the morality and integrity of baseball fans? And the sport itself? And don't say it hasn't been proven yet, the evidence is now overwhelming. I for one will never watch another baseball game live or on TV and am disgusted that Americans still idolize these LOSERS.

I mean, most of these guys that did these substances at the time were not banned by the MLB. So who cares.


One thing I do know though is that Bonds broke the HR record on illegal substances, just imagine if Ken Griffey Jr never got hurt all those years, he would have crushed the record. You know he didnt take anything, you can tell by looking but imagine how many HR's he would have if he did.


One last note, none of these players came as a shock to me. I mean at the start of their career, these guys were little and in a matter of a year or two they blew up. Thats the biggest sign right there. You would of been an idoit to think bonds was not taking anything.

I was called an idiot about it, but looks like I was right. Brian Mcnamee hooked clemens up with roids in 97, and viola! he wins two straight triple crowns.

As we all know King Clemens won't decide who to pitch for until he knows they're in 1st place, but will his decision be delayed now that he's going to be hunting down his trainer. His trainer gave us all these facts. For some reason, I keep asking myself why would a trainer make this s.h.i.t up? What's in it for this trainer to make up stories like the one in the report? I don't see or know any reason why a trainer would make something like this up. People don't want to believe it because there's yankees in the report. But my first question I ask about the whole report is why would trainers make this s.h.i.t up with these names. For now I believe the trainer. Players are a bunch of spoiled, rich babies who think they're above the laws of everyday citizens. They got caught,and now what, but will King Clemens hunt his ex trainer down and needle him to death ?

Back in high school, when word would spread through school that they was doing locker checks, you could always get a good laugh out of watching people running to their lockers to hide the "stuff".
I wonder if it was kinda like that today at homes of baseball players. Franticly running around in circles trying to figure out where to bury the syringes...OH CRAP!
