Steroids suck. No. They f-ing really suck. We can't even enjoy the game of baseball anymore. Alex Rodriguez was supposed to be the guy who did it the right way. Our clean savior. Turns out he's a fraud like the rest of the BALCO boys (and a vast amount of other unamed players). I guess it shouldn't really come as a surprise, when you look at all players he was surrounded by in Texas - Palmero, Pudge, Canseco. All cheats.
Now you have to question whether he even stands a chance at entering the Hall of Fame. I would hope so. If he can come out and support causes that teach kids not to take performance enhancing drugs - that's a good first step. Then he should request he be tested once a month for both HGH (which they don't test for) and other banned substances. Finally, he's gonna have to start producing in the post-season and win championships. Maybe after all that - 9 years from now he can look back and have something to be proud of. Today is not that day

Steriods do suck. And i try to practice what i preach=Self-accountability . But i'm really sick of hearing all these ass clowns like tom Hicks, " Oh I'm so dissappointed and so suprised". Really guy? Well guess what, I think you are COMPLETELY FULL OF SH*T. I think you DEAD KNEW the sheninagans, just like that clown Bug Selig. They couldnt' get enough back in the late 90's, but now are " ashamed". Give me a effing break. It was the culture. It stinks from high heaven, on all angles. " Well it wasn't illegal in the baseball then". It was illegal in the country and those laws should ALWAYS trump bs union laws. BPA is by far the most powerful union in the country. Don't hold your breath on Arod volunterily consenting to any hgh tests. Flat out won't happen. Under the collective bargaining agreement. This is sooooooo much bigger than Arod. If they finally consent to hgh testing, then yes you are correct, he should give them as many tests as needed. The union WILL NEVER LET HIM do that now.
AM I suprised? No. How can you be?
I think a few names would be the truly "WOW" factor. Derek Jeter for one. I'd truly be shocked.
The bottom line. PEople turned a blind eye. Does it make it right? HELL NO.
Arod was a hall of famer before 2001. And certaintily since.I think he'll get in eventually.
