Glove, Bat, Ball, Needle

There've been a few articles over the last few days talking about how various athletes were cheated out of MVP awards when they were given to other athletes who we now know used steroids. Huh?

I do not understand how anyone can be certain that those who DIDN'T win the award were clean the year they were robbed. (Or as the NY POST put it in their inimitable fashion: A-Robbed). Actually there is a way for us to be certain, at least for the time period in question. Release the names of the remaining 103 players who are on the list of men who tested positive for steroid use. Why should Alex Rodriguez take all the heat, as others who may be just as culpable are paraded around as victims? This annoys me greatly.

I would also like to see every sports talk guy and every sports reporter give a very loud and clear apology to Jose Canseco who named every one of the men who have either admitted or been plausibly accused of steroid use. At the time, Canseco was derided, accused of being a liar and a charlatan, and everyone said there was no way Palimero or A-Rod used steroids. The problem is that baseball takes itself so seriously because of its HISTORY! that it decided (with its idiot commissioner who is also an owner and has done as much as possible to enrich himself and his buddies at the expense of the fans)that a guy like Canseco could not possibly be right or in anyway represent the game.

Hmmm.

Only six more months til mini camp.

If you're implying that Delgado was juiced, why would he have waited until mid-June as he obviously did last year? Oh, maybe he was just really pumped over busting out against the, did someone say eliminated in early September, obstructed view purveying Yankees (plenty of juice being served there)

sounds like you can't wait. I wonder if after all this Mr. Met is clean. Then again maybe he isn't taking any steroids and that is why all he touches turns to "rust"?
