I'm not shrugging my shoulders. This continues to piss me off.

Let me guess this straight, A-Fraud had just signed a $250 million guaranteed contract with the Rangers and he felt pressure to perform so he cheated, right? Unbelievable.

As far as I'm concerned, Hank Aaron is still the home run king. I will never acknowledge Barry Bonds or A-Roid for any of their accomplishments. Same for Sosa and McGwire.

Bonds, A-Roid, McGwire, Sosa, Clemens, Giambi, Palmeiro, Canseco, and Petite can all suck it.

I hope the writers that vote on the hall of fame have the stones to stand their ground and keep these guys out.

Even non-baseball fans like myself have an opinion on this tool.

A-Roid may as well have been the invisible man during his years here. The only time anyone ever saw him was when he played. Maybe you want to be a little bit more of the DFW community since you're getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars, huh?

He went to the only place where A) He'd still get paid, and B) Big enough for his ego.

Maybe it makes me a bad person, but I love seeing him fail. In the postseason, off the field, and now with roids.

Some saw him as a "savior"...the guy that would knock Barry "My head is a size 12 3/8 but I'm not on steroids" Bonds off as the home run king. But in my eyes there's not much more comfort in seeing a douche #1 and a roid head #2.

I hope failure on him in the future.

I predict this clown will get a standing ovation on opening day because he admitted it and apologized.

I'll throw up a little bit in my own mouth when that happens.

This guy is a cheater, he is a fraud, and the only reason he is admitting now and apologizing is because he got caught and his public relations people are telling him what to do.

The more I hear and talk about this the more it pisses me off.

I can only hope that his twig and berries shriveled up and fell off and he has serious back acne because of the roids.

Rolling my eyes at the Taylor Hooton reference...

@Fraggy: Agree. he says it's refreshing to get this off his chest, but if he wouldn't have been caught, he would have never come forward.

@Jeff W: Why?

Outside of the Northeast, I'd love to see a survey of people that really give a shit about MLB anymore. I've got a 19 year old son and I can guarantee you he and his friends couldn't name 10 teams much less ten major leaguers.

"Not to get bogged down in a totally different subject but, if Don Hooten would have been taking inventory in his home both monetarily and emotionally his kid would still be alive. Instead, this grandiose crusade is launched and a coach loses his job and reputation due to the theroy that our kids' problems aren't the parents problem but yet the coaches and school administration."

Couldn't possbily agree more.

Oh, please, spare me the righteous indignation. If McGwire and Sosa hadn't gone on their homer spree in '98, baseball would be the new hockey right now. They saved the sport. Everyone loves the long ball. And no one cared if they were juicing or not. Where's the righteous indignation at the scores of players from the '50s and '60s who popped greenies on a daily basis like M&M's? You know why they didn't juice? Because steroids weren't readily available back then. I guarandamntee you that if steroids were as available in the 50s and 60s as they were in thhe 80s and 90s then that would have been the steroid era. Baseball's always had a culture of cheating. Hell, you've got an admitted cheat in the Hall of Fame! Gaylord Perry wrote a book about how he cheated and we reacted in such horror that we...

Gave him a spot in Cooperstown.

So take the righteous indignation and save it for something that really merits it. This doesn't even come close.
