Hey Windy,

You are right about nice guys breaking rules and it showed with the list that came out. With Knoblach being on that list, I wonder if the roids had anything to do with him not being able to throw the ball from 2nd to 1st?? He had so much power in those arms he kept over throwing the 1st baseman.

Another reason they roid up is to prevent injuries and quicken the healing time from injuries. As for bulking up, look at the thighs on Rocket, roids will increase many areas on the body not just the guns. And Wild, as for Knobs, you might be right, I think his jersey might have been cutting into his massive guns preventing him from making that long throw from 2nd to 1st! LOL

Another perspective on the roid situation.

Everybody is focusing on the records, homers, pitching stats, etc and debating whether they should be allowed or thrown out but think about all the players on the bubble who were cut, demoted etc at the hands of a roid rager who aced them out to make a major league roster. I am sure there are hundreds of guys out there thinking, "Hey, I played by the rules and lost out to Joe Steriod by a whisker. Those records will never show and those dollars can never be returned.Sad day indeed.

All that the report tells me is someone from the Yanks talked and that all the speculation about wide pread roid use in baseball was true. Selig did nothing and the union did nothing. It confirms a lot of peoples perception that baseball was not interested in integrity only selling seats. Football addressed steroids many years ago in effort to clean up thier image and now are a huge sports jugernaut, baseball is afraid of not enough blacks in the game and dwindling tv ratings and other problems. Duh you allowed the game to become tainted then attack Bonds because he was not liked to begin with. If you take on Clemens and the rest the way you did Bonds thenyou may get back some of the good will you lost. Face it Selig has a missed World Series, and now Steroids as his legacy maybe he better step back and let someone clean up his mess.

Baseball now has another era, the steroid era. Maybe we will look at records as pre steroid and post steroid eras. I believe they will never erase anything cuz they can not prove beyond a doubt that any of these guys realy did anything unless they man up and confess.
