Mark the Liar McGwire

1. At least we know Barry and Sammy are clean.

2. This one doesn’t surprise me at all. I knew back then he was on steroids and just wasn’t going to admit it then. I am glad he did finally come clean though. I do believe he does deserve to be in the hall of fame because sadly when compared to other players in his era Mark McGwire was one of the best. Yes he was on steroids but so were many others in MLB at that time (I would estimate about 70-80% in my opinion). The real shame is to Roger Maris and to all the other ball players who should have been in the spotlight but weren’t because they stayed clean.

3. All of baseball should be ashamed for this. But do we as fans also have some culpability? We all claim to have known that this was going on, but continued to pay for tickets, watch on TV. And by doing so, encouraged everyone in the game to look the other way. Cheered on the players we liked, and suspected, but booed the Barrys.

   Maybe there should be a Steroid Hall Fame and a steriod records book? I like the idea of a “coming out” day, a day of clemency, get it done and over with.

4. GMFO,

   wow, late as usual.

   just like mark, late with the apology. and now tony larussa is trying to cover his backside so he can get into the hall of fame claiming ignorance of Mark’s medication.

   now all of a sudden mark wants a job with the cardinals as a hitting coach so he has to come clean or get a job where the line “would you like fries with that” is included in the daily conversation.

   turn on the lights and watch all the roaches scatter.

   strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

5. I dunno, to me, steroids is like arguing about a shoe that makes an guy run faster, or jump higher. They only hurt the player who uses them, and lets face facts, Mark McMaguire would have been a good to great baseball player without them. Roids doesn’t give you a better eye to see the pitch and he was a monster even before he took them.
