TweetJust read this and thought it was funny about Sosa turning to mush after stopping his juicing...really? Is that what happens? LOL

Woody - With the recent suspension of Manny Ramirez, do you think it's time we start blaming Bud Selig and the Players Association for their negligence of steroid use in MLB? They have known for years that players were using performance-enhancing drugs, but they looked the other way because records were being broken and tickets were being sold.

Kyle - I've blamed Selig, the Players Association, the players, society, myself. Don't know who else to blame. We all hid our heads in the sand.

When I was chasing Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in their chase, I never thought for a moment about steroids. I was writing how great the event was. But, when I saw Sosa in the Cubs' clubhouse after the steroid scandal had erupted and he had used a corked bat, I stood there in Chicago and knew. His sculptured body had turned to mush.

The owners didn't want to know. They were reaping the benefits of the steroid era. The Players Association was playing CYA. And the fans and the media didn't really care, either. It was only after the information came out that we all became hypocrites. I plead guilty. So should everyone else.

As I mentioned before in a column, if someone told you could take a magic elixir, and you would be a multimillionaire and the greatest employee in the history of your industry, what would you do? And if you worked as an encyclopedia salesman and sold thousands of encyclopedias, would your company care? I know. These are pro athletes. I can tell you they are no better or worse than you are. They are just humans who looked for an edge and didn't care what they put in their bodies, and we honestly didn't ask the questions. Baseball now is skewed statistically. And you are skewed.

Tweetohffuuuk....don't get me started. First off, there ain't no danger. FACT; steroids help you to live a longer, happier, healthier life. I don't care about the [longer] part. I don't care to see too many years, but happy, and healthier...that I'll gladly partake in.

I just had full lab work done a couple weeks ago. You'd think the doc would've mentioned elevated liver numbers before prescribing me a liver toxic medication. But, instead, without me even thinking about asking because it wasn't my concern at the time, nor was it close to the reason I was in the doc's office, she told me "you have nothing to worry about with a liver fuinctioning as strong as yours". She added that my liver, along with every organ in my body, is as healthy as it can possibly be. She said it doesn't get any healthier. So, just as the doctor that specializes in hormone therapy and such says, you can take hormones for the rest of your life, and they'll only make you healthier. Now all that bullshyt they sell that hasn't been approved by the fda that clames this and that...I don't know about that stuff. That's why I've never been much on those type supps.
