What do you think of all these steroids corrupting our national pasttime?

[kentuck]

Sounds like a nice diversion, huh? :) Not that it's not important.

1. Nope, it isn't at all important

If you want to see baseball played the right way, catch the Little League World Series (nah, I don't know when, so don't ask me).

Pro ball, like pro sex, is strictly a money game so steroids are just the equivalent of breast enlargement on a hooker.

3. Excellent analogy !

7. the little league game is being corrupted too.

i get sick watching the espn coverage every year. the advertising, the media hype, the interviews with 12 yr. olds. it reminds me of the beauty pagents where they dress little girls like adults. they take the kids game and dress it with all the pro game crap then stand around pontificating on the "innocence of the game."

steroid users should be thrown out and have their records removed from the history of the game. Pete Rose is out of baseball because he gambled, yet an admitted cheater (Bonds) will have the HR record, maybe this year.

2. yes, nice diversion..

but its an issue for the sports leagues to decide, NOT politicians -

like umm... John McCain, maybe?

4. Steroids kill folks.

They know it, too. Still, they do it. They are big boys and girls. If they want to kill themselves, it's their bodies.

5. it's about the cheating, the money, and that bush knew.....

Baseball has always been about the past compared to the present. A game of statistics and history, all ruined, dishonoring the older players.....sounds like bush, doesn't it.

6. Yawn..........Crock O' Shite.

8. I think it's a cheap diversion AND a witch hunt.

Should work like a charm.

9. I was in awe as Ben Johnson broke the world record in the 100 meters,

but that record was disallowed because of drug use. I marveled at and cheered Mark and Sammy, but now wonder if their achievements are tainted.

10. they can all grow up (some day) and be governors like Arnold...

$4 million a year for one ballplayer would pay for 89 school teachers a year in our local school district.

11. baseball (and America) turned to crap with the institution of the DH.

historians of future ages will look back at the DH and point to it as the seminal event that began America's decline.

12. Yes but what bugs me is why congress is having hearings

like it is some national emergency and yet the won't have hearings on why 9 billion dollars went missing in Iraq.

13. I think Barry should share

I want the Giants to have a good year. ;)

14. It is of absolutely no significance to me.

[AgadorSparticus]

15. I'm not surprised. It was a big problem in high school sports much

less a professional arena. But, like you said, who cares? I really don't...
