You mean, Steroids?


As we approach the anniversary of the Mitchell Report and the recent allegations made by Mark McGwire's little brother, I would love to reiterate how fucked up baseball once was. Growing up, I had a Mark McGwire t-shirt jersey (thanks Uncle Joe), a Mark McGwire bobble head, and 2 Big Mac posters hanging in my room, and as a ten year old I was aware that Mark McGwire was juicing. But somehow baseball had no clue. Bud Selig? Really? Really?....how in the fuck could you not see that Mcgwire was juicing. Baseball had been played for over 100 years, and only two of the best players of all time hit over 60 homeruns. Yet, within a 5 year span, 3 players who all entered the show as lean hitters become 50 pounds heavier and 2 hat sizes larger? I mean is it not coincidence that baseball was at its peak in ratings during those years, everybody dug the long ball, well except the pitchers (suicide rates for south-paws doubled in this decade). But hell, even the pitchers were juicing. Honestly, besides a majority of the managers, who wasn't? I mean, it's obvious that McGwire, Bonds, Sosa, Canseco, and Giambi were juicing but what about the rest of the league? Who even thought that Raphael Palmiero was into injecting himself with illegal drugs. Even Viagra won't let him do commercials anymore. All of these players are basically guilty, whether its proven or not. We all think you're guilty. Even you Rocket. Roger Clemens is so fucking guilty it kind of makes me sick. If you would just admit that you used steroids like your old teammate then we could all move on with this and possibly get some more Jodie Meeks highlights on Sportscenter. So please, admit your guilt, so then, just maybe, all you pussies can get to Cooperstown. That's what you cheated for in the first place, right?
