Manny Ramirez took an illegal drug - he was suspended, but of course, none of his doctors, coaches or anyone on the Dodgers knew about it. I think the whole Dodger team should be suspended, their entire wins changed to losses, and they should forfeit every game played with Manny. After all, he took an illegal drug - dont tell me they didnt know about it.
Same with A-Rod's team, and many others. We need to take a stance on steroids in baseball. Only 102 players were cited for steroids, out of hundreds. Right. Get them all out - the 40% or more. In fact, stop baseball immediately. We don't need a sport with drugs in it.
Then we go after football, and basketball.
Sounds stupid, huh. Well, that is what one overzealous person who is against steroids is proclaiming in his zealous slance. In fact, some people are claiming that caffeine also should be banned soon for it is a stimulant too.
Jeez
Look how many stars, that were actually even tested (on the right day of course), that baseball finally tried to cover up. Get real.
Baseball's all time home run leader, who will eventually be A-Rod, won't be in the Hall. He tested positive for steroids.
Baseball's single season home run leader, Barry Lamar Bonds, won't be in the Hall. He is the face of steroids in this era, an impressive feat considering Cansenco wrote books about his own use.
The man who broke the single season record held by Roger Maris won't be in the Hall, even if he did joint he 500 home run club. Mark McGwire refused to answer questions about his steroid use to congress, and that's all it takes these days.
The man who has more 60+ home run seasons than any other man ever, Sammy Sosa, won't be in the Hall of Fame. His "No English" routine in front of congress didn't earn him any brownie points with the voters.
One of the rare men to have compiled 3,000 hits and 500 home runs, Rafael Palmeiro won't be in the Hall. He answered the questions Congress had for him, and even made us all beleive him. Then he testes positive and broke our hearts.
The winningest right handed pitcher of all time, Roger Clemens won't be in the Hall. His wins, his K's, and his records mean nothing after Brian McNamee and George Mitchell tore them down.
The Hall will be devoid of several former MVP's, like Miguel Tejada, Jason Giambi, and of course Barry and Sammy. It will be missing half a dozen or so Cy Youngs.
And only one thing seems certain. There's 102 names left on that list we haven't heard yet, and the Hall will be missing a few more guys before it's over.
