...a plea bargain is mentioned. Think this former "bird" will start chirping????
 
I bet more of them come forward to get it off their chests.

Well, HD I am TRYING to look forward and at what we now have on our playing fields. I am hoping the likes of the Sizemores are for real and can speak out and bring us all out of this and show the world it's clean again. But I know I pipedream...

And the DeRosa's too......

Those guys seem to play the game the right way. One could only hope they are clean.

How can you get busted for lying to Congress? People lie to them every day. The appropriate answer to any difficult question is "I have no recollection of that, Senator." And if they really nail you just plead the 5th. Or do like Sammy Sosa and act like you don't speak english. The drugs have rotted these guys brains.

That's what McGwire basically did, and he embarassed himself so much he may never be heard from in baseball again. But he won't go to jail.

It started with the 1994 strike.

I always felt that the steroid era came about because baseball thought more offense could bring back fans to the game and replace those bitter feelings.

You're right, but it was the fact that the union rolled the owners in that strike. All the owners cared about was reducing player salaries. When they failed the union threatened to strike over anything and the owners didn't want to provoke them over drug testing. This is what happens when you cave to a union.
 
Lockem up. Maybe if some of these athletes are punished they will stop lying. As long as there are no real consequences this sport will NEVER get clean.

Not to mention the Senators themselves. If we convicted everyone in congress that lied to someone in congress their wouldn't be anyone left.

The thing that pisses me off more than anything else is that they're wasting tax payer money and time on this. There isn't anything else more important they can be working on right now, like lets say............ummmmm.............the economy, unemployment, etc................

Jesus Christ let it go all ready !!!! These guys are entertainers and THAT'S IT !!!!
There is no difference between a steroid using ball player and an alcohol or drug abusing musician. It's all performance enhancing.

I say if a pro player wants to abuse his body by taking steroids so that my entertainment is better than so be it.
 
Steroids can either be illegal or mandatory. There is no in-between.

If the Yankees will pay $100M for a 3rd rate pitcher, how much will they pay for exclusive access to the latest drugs?

If you do not want to watch 500 pound semi-human mutants playing baseball in 10 years, then the only thing to do is return to right and wrong. Ban every one of these cheats for life today.

Couldn't have said it better. This has to happen. It's time to clear the plate on this subject, let the axe fall where it may, no matter what the consequences. Then maybe we get back to watching baseball as it was intended to be played.

Amen, my friend! :(
 
It would be nice if by this time next year, Steroids were no longer an issue. It would be nicer if that happened by the time this season started, but we all know that ain't happening. How do I explain to my soon to be 4 yr. old son the "juicing" era?
