jpg: I totally agree with you...Bud Selig may not realize how serious this new HGH scandal is...It could become "a perfect storm" that will shake the fans' confidence in the integrity of MLB...take a look at this post... deadspin.com <<...BullsBlogger - I watch football. But I love baseball. I don't know if I'm just naive or stupid, but for some reason, news of Pujols using steroids (or HGH) would be devastating to me. I know nothing is confirmed, but obviously, there are a lot of players involved in this. Link to Pujols or not, I think we all get the feeling that the proverbial shit is going to hit the fan sometime sooner rather than later. We should expect stuff like this, since players will do anything to get ahead, and always have, and a lot of them have been taught since high school that they should do anything get ahead, but I dunno. You expect it, but you're never prepared for it when your favorite players disappoint you. If Pujols has really been a user, and more names come out, I really can't justify giving the MLB any more of my money. Or emotional investment. I stuck around after the strike because really, labor disputes don't really stick to your heart or head when you're 12. I wasn't too attached to McGwire or Sosa or Bonds. But this? We all put a lot of blind faith in the players to make a ton of money, play hard, and still play fair. This is despite the fact that we know baseball has never really been clean. So why is it that I expected Pujols to be better (on the field and off) than everyone else? Is it my fault for investing so much time, money and emotion into some pithy kid's game? Maybe I'm taking this too seriously. After all, this is what they serve alcohol at games for, right? by BowdenBowdenBowden on 06/08/06 10:32 PM...>>
