Do ';steroid using'; baseball players present a false image?

Now that McGwire, Bonds, Sosa etc. are linked to performance enhancement ... doesn't this diminish their credentials?Do ';steroid using'; baseball players present a false image?
Yes it does, but it doesn't seem to matter.Do ';steroid using'; baseball players present a false image?
Baseball was the closest broadcast sport that I ever came to liking.





The use of steroids does matter to me.


It makes no difference if everyone is using them. As if they are not hurting anyone. Might as well say they got all pumped up into an animal fury by watching dog fighting matches B4 each game.





If something is illegal, it's just wrong. I mean, if a person is ';winning'; a game b/c they are cheating, then it's not really winning. I'm just watching ';who's got he best steroid supplier'; instead of a baseball game.





That's about as fun as playing Monopoly and being the only player receiving $20,000 for passing ';Go.'; Not much sport in that at all. Just set up the game and then say, ';E-ma wins. Clear the board.'; B/C the rest is just going through the motions.





It is a false image b/c that is NOT how the rules of baseball were created. If everyone is using steroids, then call it what it is, ';Major League Steroid Competitions.'; Then you have an honest game. You could get all the stats. ';Here comes Mark up to the plate. There may be some trouble in his game today. We heard his doctor has been on vacation %26amp; Mark is 3 injections down from the rest of the team.';


Let's get this out in the open if it's so acceptable and hear some real play-by-play announcements.
I love baseball. I still do and always will. But the reality is this: it is a game owned and run by conservative multi-billionaires and played by conservative multi-millionaires. When has either group in any part of the US ever given a damn about the man who really pays the bills? The fan is an annoyance to these people until it comes time to count the money. The PEDs issure has been mishandled, buried, batted around, and generally dismissed by both of these baseball groups. No one cares. They are part of the game to stay.





So, it should discredit the credentials of the users, but it won't. Things will continue status quo until baseball has all the integrity of Professional Wrestling and our kids and grand kids will be soccer fans in the summer.
This is like saying you can't rebound and still have the same numbers without steroid use. I don't believe that for a second.





edit: Because they don't wanna work to get that far?
I don't know Blu...


I am on a steroid for an unmentionable inflammation...


I can't throw a ball any better than I ever could....I can however throw an empty toilet paper roll about twice as far :) lol


ok I got you by the arm blu...you lead :)
yeah. i lost all respect for them and ESPECIALLY for albert pujols impersonators.
It should matter but at the end of the day all mlb cares about is money and fans care about home runs.
It is the exact same thing as women with implants.


Looks good at first...
