... what will baseball`s stand be when technology provides the next generation of genetically enhanced super-studs. " Here, piss in this cup and we need a DNA sample, too." |

... I`m high ,all right , but I`m high on the real thing : A full tank of gas , a clean windshield , and a shoe-shine ! Seriously , I understand sports needs a good conduct policy of some sort and banning illegal drugs, whether recreational or enhancing, is a good idea. Let`s just not pretend it was never a problem before steroids came along. Everybody wants an edge and some guys just like to party. |

... Will Carroll has a great interview up on BP with an underground steroid dealer who talks about SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators), the newest class of PEDs. Basically, he says that many of the guys who were using the older stuff have already switched over to this. It has all the benefits of testosterone without the side effects (shrinkage, etc.). They all cheat to some degree, some more than others, and anyone who says otherwise is just being naive. And good for Michael Phelps for hitting the bong every now and then. Ideally, you'd tell your kids not to do it because it'll make them lazy. Hell, if anybody's earned a few bong hits, it's that dude....Let 'er rip, dude...... |

... Yep, he told all to Gammons. Here's the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/...id=3894847 This is EXACTLY what he needed to do. (Good on you for taking my advice, A-Rod!) Heck, he admitted to using steroids for three years with the Rangers, even though he only tested positive during one. This quote in particular says a lot: "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was naïve. I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time." By the way, how close does the end of that quote sound to the last sentence of the first paragraph of my post? Pretty close. |

... Maybe for substance abuse we will forgive the contrite. Pete Rose may have to be posthumously elected to the HOF even if he admits he bet on games he was involved in. |

... Yeah, he looked like he's been fakin-bakin all winter long. Isn't the guy already dark skinned? I guess the grass is always greener...or browner, er...whatever. He tried to argue that the juice didn't help him, that he had good years before and after Texas. Maybe so for his BA or his defense, but the juice certainly helped his power. He averaged 52 HRs per year while in Texas, compared to 41 HRs per year since. The ballpark at arlington may have helped, but i bet the juice helped as well. |
