Comments on: Decade’s worth of baseball permanently under dark cloud http://www.brushbackpitch.com/2009/02/10/decades-worth-of-baseball-permanently-under-dark-cloud/ Baseball Coverage That’s Juuuuust a Bit Inside Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:53:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Brandon http://www.brushbackpitch.com/2009/02/10/decades-worth-of-baseball-permanently-under-dark-cloud/#comment-99 Brandon Thu, 12 Feb 2009 22:04:36 +0000 http://www.brushbackpitch.com/?p=139#comment-99 I think I liked it better back when we all just assumed that they were on steroids. We all noticed the fact that the “Bash Brothers” arms were growing and ready to pop and the Barry Bond’s head quadrupled in size keeping new era’s hat division from going out of business year after year, and everyone used to say, “it’s from all the roids”. It was a great joke that we knew was probably true but didn’t seem to care about at the time. Now we talk about it in the news daily, how these players are cheaters and we need the government to step in and blah, blah, blah. I think all it is doing is ruining Major League Baseball for the next generation of kids. They will either ignore baseball all together because they realize their heroes are cheaters and liars. Or they will assume the only way to be great is to hit the gym and start sipping some creatine and injecting some roids. It is time we take baseball back! The records are already scorned by names of these cheaters and liars; the only way to save any integrity is to get rid of the people whose lack of regulation and punishment caused this problem to get so far out of hand in the first place. Selig and his goons need to give the game back to someone who cares about the integrity of the game. The records will be broken again someday. And with the right people in charge, those people who break those records next time around might actually be baseball players.
