Harumph!

“You watch your ass.”

Look at Lance Armostrong. Many people believe he cheated, but the technology keeps changing. It is hard to figure out what scientific leaps will be made.

These athletes are using themselves as guinea pigs, and maybe some good does come out of it? Maybe we figure out ways to treat muscle loss and pain?

Baseball players have been cheating since the games inception. Throwing games, stealing signs, scuffing balls, corking bats, etc.

Testing is never going to be 100%, and sheds doubt on everyone in the sport. Who is clean and who is not? Some players just get painted with the steroid brush, because there is a suspicion, but no proof.

Who doesn’t want to see muscled freaks throw a ball 150 mph, and see it crushed out of a ballpark and go 850 feet?

And on a side note: Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. My soapbox speech is now over.

Maybe the currier should have used UPeeS?

Bud, serve ‘em some spittle,
And let’s have an acquittal.

I’m not someone who gets hung up on steroids, put Clemens and Bonds and everyone else in the Hall for all I care. We can’t pretend like they never existed. BUT I don’t think because of what happened here everyone who thought Braun a user owes him some kind of apology.

He got off on a technicality, and technicalities exist for a reason and are a legitimate reason for acquittal. But acquittal is not exoneration.
