i don't know maybe its my nonchalant attitude towards most everything but im pretty sick of the steroids talk in baseball. i guess my underlying feeling is it happened, the players know it, the coaches know it, the owners it, the commisioner knows it,and we the fans know it. but my god can we please move on. steroids were used in the past by top tier major leaguers. barry bonds mark mcgwire roger clemens andy petite among others. problem is that was the past. you cant put an asterisk around this whole era of baseball because that would damage the perceptions of players with outstanding numbers of this era that have not been implicated such as alex rodriguez derek jeter randy johnson curt schilling among others. plus i think what no one seems to bring up is although steroids are illegal by law when not received for medicinal purpose, steroid usage in the major league was not illegal or better stated swept under the rug by the higher ups in the league. morally, sure taking steroids is wrong. but if a player decides to take that chance at a time when there's no documentation saying that steroid usage is banned so be it. lets not act like this quote unquote steroid era didnt save baseball. without the homerun chase of mcgwire and sosa in 1998 baseball might be an after thought in america where it seemed to be heading b4 that. bottom line in my opinion is its time to move on. there is drug testing in place now and although it may not be the best form of testing its a start. from here on in u test postive u should be dealt with however the league, the commissioner, and the fans see fit. but as for the past let it be what it is..............the past!!!
