    Bud Selig should be among those with problems. MLB has turned a blind eye to the drugging while the stroid enhanced players drove up the stats and attendence.

    I feel a good start would to remove them from the record books, 2 year suspension for active players, ban for life from the hall of fame.

    After reading about this forming story all summer I happened to meet Pete Rose a couple of months ago in Vegas. I thought to myself "this is B.S. - this guy hasn't even been accused of throwing games just betting". (as far as I know)

    ... and some guy signed a $275 mil or so contract a few days ago. TV has ruined pro sports. The money numbers are out of control. Jumping sports, how can the average guy take his boys to a Colt game? I spent about $600.00 this week to purchase tickets to any home playoff game here (if they occur). If they don't, I don't get my money back, just a credit towards next years tickets. Don't even talk to me about beer, coke, popcorn, and hot dogs.

    Sorry for the rant guys ... this just hit a sensitive spot!

    We have two players on the list. It's embarrassing. [V]
    Everybody does stupid things in their lives, I don't feel like these guys should be thrown out of MLB. Even though it does set a bad example for all us old guys that follow the sport.

    What about Selig and the players union rep stepping down Sav99?

    If they covered this whole thing up instead of dealing with it than maybe they should step down. I can almost understand the players being tempted to use roids for various reasons. That in of itself is real bad, but I almost think that covering it up is worse.

    They all should get the boot and all their records taken down in my opinion. This is the exact reason why I don't bother watching sports anymore. You gauge old players agianst the current players with drugs making everyone the Amazing Hulk.

    I feel no pity for these cheaters. Hell worse case they have made millions and lived in the lap of luxury. If I fail a dope test at my job I'm fired with no rehire period.

    quote:They all should get the boot and all their records taken down

    Imagine for a moment that you are a fringe MLB player. Maybe at the Triple A level, back in the mid 80's to early 90's. You are struggling along in the high minors, making $20 to $30 grand a year. You see Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Rob Deer, David Justice and all those other players in the majors, and they came through the minors with you. You KNOW what they did to get their numbers up. You KNOW what they are doing in the Bigs to keep their numbers up. The guy who owns your team, your manager, all your coaches, they KNOW too. You even see the head honcho of MLB, the Commish himself, seemingly turn a blind eye to what he KNOWS is happening and what the other guys are taking. Do you continue struggling along, maybe getting cut and turned away from the only job you have ever worked at, or do you decide to take the plunge and get your million dollar payday by taking roids? Pretty easy decision for most ball players to make.

    I'm not condoning what they did. BUT...the head honchos in baseball KNEW. They were getting rich off these guys. If it hadn't been for McGwire and Sosa back in 98, (and all their roid induced homeruns) baseball would STILL be recovering from the strike a few years earlier. THEY KNEW! They were complicit. What about their punishment? You can't start taking away records. Before the roid generation of players, they were all popping uppers and speed like candy. Well...if you take away the roid records, have to go back to the 60's and 70's and early 80's and take away those records. Before that it was something else. Since organized professional sports, teams and individual players have been looking for any advantage they could find. In Ty Cobb's day, it was sharpened spikes. That certainly wasn't very sportsmanlike, but hey, it worked and other players feared the heck out of him. Might as well take away his records too.

    Notice how all these records have been broke lately concerning homeruns? It is not fair in the spirit of sportsmanship to have some riod record kept. Now they do a crackdown and say they won't be used agian. Nobody will be able to break that record due to not juicing up.

    If I was that player you used as a example I might also just to make the big bucks, however I wouldn't be crying when I got caught cheating. After all I still have millions in the bank. Screw some record at the end of the day. I'd wipe my tears with $100 dollar bills.

    Never said it was right. But the players aren't alone. The owners and commish should bear just as much, if not more, of the blame. They let it happen. They didn't stop it when they knew how rampant it was. All they saw was dollar signs. As I said earlier, since competitive sports started, players have been looking for an edge. Back in the day it was sharpened spikes. It grew into roids. And now that roids are outlawed, there WILL be something else come along.

    I am just glad that my childhood heroes were not on the list.... John Smoltz, Tommy Glavine, Greg Maddux, and Chipper Jones. I really hope baseball cleans this all up, but I highly doubt it. Until they do I have lost respect for the game, and will NOT be attending any games or buying ANY MLB merchandise.

    You are dead right on that...

    I gave up on MLB a long time ago. As a boy, I loved baseball.....I guess I still do, since I try to watch the little league world series every year.

    I'll never attend a pro game so long as I live.

    Sammy Sosa was not mentioned on the list above.

    Mark Prior was not mentioned with his huge leg muscles and mysterious injuries.

    A lot of the players mentioned are skinny two bit players.

    Todd Huntly
    Jerry Hairston jr
    Gary Mathews jr

    Aside from passing through Chicago and being thought of as pussies, these three are also sons of former major league baseball players, along with Barry Bonds... I wonder if there is a relationship...pressure to succeed, just like their old man.

    Glennallen Hill, another 2 bit player.

    Should we call it the Joseph McCarthy Report.

    We want names.

    Are you now or have you ever....

    If I was Donald Fuhr, the players union, I would position it this way.
