Alex Rodriguez may have used steroids in 2003, Jimmy Cracked corn, and
I don’t give a sh*t.
Are you trying to tell me that while we are going through a financial melt-down or at any time for that matter, our Congress is going to have an on-going investigation into whether or not Alex Rodriguez or any other NBL player has ever or is currently using Steroids?

This to me is one more example of why we are in this huge financial mess, and I think any constituent with a representative that is participating in this foolishness should be on the phone calling Washingtonand asking one question… Why?

Now I understand that there are baseball fans and I don’t

want them to think that I am unsympathetic to their plight. However I think this is one issue that the market can settle once and for all. If you find steroid use objectionable than you (the fan) should let the NBL know with letters, phone calls, e-mails, or your refusal to support a team that supports players who use the dope. This scandal like any other is a money thing. When one of the Boys Of Summer knows that testing dirty will end his career than I would suspect that steroids wouldn’t be as attractive of an option.

I suspect that most of the fans couldn’t care less one way or another, and if that’s the case than WTF?

Here is another idea…. How about a SNBL Steroid National Baseball league? We could build special stadiums where the fans are all in a huge cage for their own protection. We could eat popcorn, drink beer, and spit sunflower seeds

while the Steroid freaks grunt and go through the motions of playing baseball. I’m sure occasionally the roid rage would kick in and players would metamorphosize into raging beasts who would chase each other around the field while shouting obscenities and beating one another with the bats. To keep it more interesting yet, we could make them play naked so we could all point and stare at their withered and wasted sex organs while we elbow each other and say ‘I can’t play ball worth a crap but at least I’m sporting a straight six!’

When the game is over all of the fans can be escorted off of the property before the players are hosed down and bedded down for the night.
This may sound a little silly or extreme but not any more than our Congressmen and Women sitting around at the taxpayer’s expense grilling baseball players and talking about steroids.
(I just got a mental image of Pelosi all roided out… J)
Seriously, what is the end result of these congressional investigations? Will the players be fined for illegal drug usage? Is the DEA getting involved in this? Will the government mandate that certain players always have an (*) beside their names in the record books.
This writer has a crazy idea. Let’s let Baseball worry about Baseball and let the Government worry about the peoples business.

While reminded of it reading this I developed a big noogie, went to the sink and spat it out.
get it?
My first question was, This is the governments business in what way? It remains the question. It may be against NBA rules. That makes it their business. Steroids are sometimes given in prescription form for certian aliments. In fact I was give some kind of steroid with my recent MRSA problem.
However doubt this guy has medical problems that need steroids, don't you think?
Oh, and if you ask me, the government should get their hands out of "the people's" financial business as well! They only seem to screw crap up wherever they go. Let the free market take care of both the economy AND baseball.
Steroids are very useful in reducing swelling, and thus pain.
A 10 and sharing the wealth!
