Arod admitted yesterday that he was using roids when he broke the record in the 2003 season. I don't know about you all, but I just lost all respect for the guy.

They are now saying that it is possible that Mark McGuire was using roids also. Wth?

yeah, I'm with you on the respect thing. If he had just come forward before and admitted it and moved on, it wouldn't be such an issue. But to do interviews swearing that he never did it and then admit to it much later, it just makes him a known liar.

Baseball lost me years ago.

I'd rather remember the glory days for me, the 70's, and Pirate baseball. They were all just drunk then.

Seriously, there were some really memorable players, and nobody looked like a bodybuilder, they were regular guys who could play baseball. A kid looked at them, and thought, "They're like guys I know, I could do that!" They made a decent living, but not 250 million ten-year contracts. What sucks worst about it is, these guys pretty much have to do that stuff, to keep their heads above water playing against other guys who do. The cat's out of the bag, it seems ruined to me. I'd rather see the Curve, or even a kid's game, which is far more entertaining than the bigs.--->JMS

You know those guys are sports figures, right?

Seriously though, only so much hockey/basketball coverage I can take.

And this affects us how? Oh that's right, I can no longer go to work, make music or have a meaningful relationship because A-hole used steroids. That bastard. Besides, I thought baseball was a de-funked sport.

Between the Yankees cheating every other game and every other player using steroids, I haven't liked baseball in general since before moving to PA. It will never catch me the way it did as a kid. It's rather ironic that I lost nearly all interest in baseball following the retirement of Cal Ripken Jr. It seems as though he was the last of the TRUE baseball players. All we have nowadays are liars and cheaters. I even think Pete Rose would be ashamed to play with any of them
