Win win win win win...gotta be #1...gotta be the best.NOPE NOT ME...I DON'T CARE.To hell with honesty any longer. If ya can't beat them hell join em. That's the philosophy today. Who can be the biggest FREAKING cheat. Doesn't matter you ruin some retirees life. As long as your wife has a $6000 shower curtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to retire today, I wouldn't be disappointed one bit.There are loads of baseball players that are actually rule-abiding and law-abiding. Those that excel and don't take shortcuts to their success deserve the accolades, not the people that transform their bodies into superhuman machines. Wait... let me implant a bionic elbow in my arm and then i can pitch the ball 150 MPH, no one will even see it, much less be capable of reacting fast-enough to hit it. Would that be cheating? Would that be frowned upon if someone found out why i was pitching that fast? They wouldn't accept that my strikeout #'s are phenominal? 700 k's before the all-star break? I know that is all exaggeration, but a little hyperbole helps explain how ridiculous this whole situation has gotten, partially thanks to the horrible drug testing policies.And then some people say well its not proven... ok, so if it was proven, which i think it will be eventually... then what!

Was he going to say Yes I think the record is tainted even though I dont have proof of it yet and I am going to pay for saying this right now. I think he is a big steroided up freak that is killing game of baseball and if I were just a fan I wouldnt be watching? Geesh, you more then most should understand what is said in front of a tv camera is completely opposite to what is said behind the scenes. Then again you think OJ is innocent so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
