Let’s face it. Roger has turned into a major league rat. And he might be doing some major league jail time. More evidence of Clemens’ alleged steroid usage seems to appear every day. And, really, aren’t we all sick of it. Not because it happened. Not because we’re tired of it (we are). But because it just tears away every day at the fabric of the game that once was great. Spring training has turned into Spring Draining. So, got a take? Bring it.
Cartoon Caption Contest starting Friday!!!
Ok. So here’s the deal. Starting Friday I’ll post a cartoon without words in the word balloon. Your job. Fill in the caption with the funniest lines you can write. Only Two rules. It must be original, and above all, it must be clean. Just leave your captions in the comment box. Be sure to put your e-mail address in the required field. It won’t be shared with the world, but I can see it and will notify the winner. The winning cartoon will appear on the blog on Thursday. That gives you two days of braggin’ rights in the office! You’ll get the original cartoon with your caption and a Fraternal Order of Pigskin t-shirt by snail mail. Remember, Let’s have some fun out there!
Nice one, Drew.
Steroids have become a inescapable part of the game. Their use will destroy the game. The cheaters will only go on to find a new ‘roid or performance enhancer after each ban. We only have the option of watching baseball’s slow painful death due to this epidemic or watching the public embrace another systemic form of cheating.
Either way, we lose. Sucks it has to be that way. Thanks, Roger and friends!

good morning from Omaha
It depends..babe ruth played on hot dogs and beer, in the 50′s it was bene’s, the sixties was greenies…there have always been performance enhancing attempts in sports…what happens next, banning coffee with caffiene, six cups before the game and away they go.

THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO by C. Collodi [Pseudonym of Carlo Lorenzini]. Excerpts (out of sequence) of quotes from his book:
“Believe me, your Honor, the fault was not mine.” “Enough! Be quiet! I’ll take care of you later.”
“I am laughing at your lies.” “How do you know I am lying?” “Lies, my boy, are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours, just now, happen to have long noses.”
“Pinocchio, not knowing where to hide his shame, tried to escape from the room, but his nose had become so long that he could not get it out of the door.”
Roger’s nose continues to grow. With Pinocchio he lived a life happily ever after. The cartoon caption should continue:
… it keeps growing and growing…
Once the cesspool starts to leak you might as well pump it all out. I am for printing the entire list of the guys that failed the drug test in the same document that was mysteriously leaked(either from the Government or the union)naming A Rod. The truth will set you free brothers and sisters. Speaking of truth, who does Darryl Strawberry think he’s kidding? Claiming that roids weren’t around when he played, his pal Lenny Dykstra was clearly pumped up on roids when he played with the Phillies, around ’90 I would guess. Anyway Straw is about as believable as Roger, they both tarnished the game but in different ways. One took drugs and ruined his career, the other took drugs to cheat and gain an unfair advantage over the competition.
You know there is a test for HGH out there, it is a blood test but the union won’t approve blood tests for the players. So when you hear that “they”, MLB, the union, the players, are doing everything possible to clean up the game, it is just more lies.
