Eeks!! Can things get any worse?

Before the world of Major League Baseball just recently got hit with a major bombshell that who knows how many of its marquee players used steroids or performance drugs, I was bound to think that Barry Bonds was the only big namer out there who did plenty of both. And I thought that Bonds was the only player who could MLB such a bad name, tarnish its very image as a national pasttime, & if that's not enough, break the MLB's Home Run record (which BTW should have an asterisk written all over it).

Was I ever wrong to harbor such thoughts.

This latest report has big-namers like Roger Clemens & Andy Petitte on the list. Who's next? A-Rod? Kerry Wood? Not to be funny but if anyone has had the chance to check out some of the names of the latest MLB players who have used roids/performance drugs at some point in time or other, some of those names will make folks roll their eyes. Or worse, make them wonder why they're rooting for them in the first place.

All the while, Bud Selig is MIA. I'm wondering what he's thinking about all this; I'm still amazed that he didn't take the time & effort to weed out those players who were using 'roids/enhancement drugs for the longest time, of which Bonds is one of the standouts. As the MLB Commish, you'd think he wouldn't fall asleep on such issues as steroids but he did. For far too long, he swept the issue under the rug like it was nothing to get hyped up about. That is, until Barry Bonds passed Hank Aaron as baseball's all-time HR leader...even then, a lot of folks were wondering, "Why didn't he step up to the plate & take action like he was supposed to?"

At any rate, things can get no better than hearing the latest news on the MLB grapevine. And from what we've heard, things don't look too swell/promising for some of the folks involved.
