Of course Bonds, Sosa, all the rest will remain untouched. McGuire never was touched because MLB wanted it that way.
Don't lay this one on Baseball. It did nothing for a long time, but not now. I don't for a minute believe they "waited" to suspend him.
This one is all on Palmerio. Baseball did what they said they would do. Raffy was a potential 600-3000 guy, who was having his swan song and they still suspended him. Not out of guts, but because it is what they said they would do. I am stunned that he did this after testifying to a Congressional Committee, and denied every using steroids. He is either very arrogant or very stupid. [/quote]
So what did baseball do from 1990-today? They waited. Especially 1997 whan attendance was shot. 1998 McGuire, Sosa, etc pumping steroid balls out like never before. Brent Boone becoming a 40 homer guy.
Bonds? I know we agree on him. The Balco expose will all get extended for 8 years by the lawers. MLB will babble how they cannot do a thing due to Bonds rights, etc. Nothing. Zip. Nada.
Palmero being caught. Oh it's a small step in the right direction. Very small and very late. Wonder if Palmero failed to make a payoff installment. Why did they start hardcore testing last year in the
minors. 50 of them suspended. 3 in the big leauges? Cmon zig, its a joke. Oh by suspending minors it sets up a potentially less steroided MLB in 2007-beyond. But they are not going to test any of the real Steroid Babies, McGuire, Bonds, Sosa. That would mean the stats were/are all a scam. MLB is a scam. $$$ would stop or slow down. Can't have that. What will they now do with Raffys stats? I predict nothing.
Supposing you were a NON steroid guy trying to make mlb or being in MLB 1996-2004. You don't make it because you couldn't compete with the steroiders. Or could you? Yet you really were just as good (better?) then them. Its bull.
