I know I enjoyed watching them guys hit and nothing will take that away. They like many other human beings make mistakes in which most are forgivable.

I really hope this blows over at some point otherwise none of us should be able to sit and say we've enjoyed baseball over the past 20 seasons which I know is false.

If MLB would ease up on these guys a bit Im sure many more would come clean before it came to this but under these conditions they are getting everything taken away for them in which they likely didnt understand the consequences at the point they were doing these drugs.

I feel bad for the non cheaters and that is it however the non cheaters will have the luxury of being able to live a healthy life from now on while these other guys wont. They will pay for it.

Rant over.

I should add that nothing in this particular thread was bad so its probably the wrong place for this particular post.
Well, I never liked how much of an @$$hole Bonds and Clemens tended to be. Which tarnished a lot of enjoyment watching them. ANd McGwire and Sosa (and Bonds). I really abhor homermania of the late 90s/early 00s. All those high scoring games are friggin boring to me. I like the 80s/early 90s game better. Hell, I'd be happy if we went back to the deadball era, personally. I find pitching, defense, and speed more fun to watch.
