    What also gets me down is that when I was 8, I collected the entire 1987 topps baseball card set (wood boarder) just so I can have the MM Rookie card. Those are childhood memories that are now meaningless

    Get over it, dude. Hate the game; not the player.

    The esteemed Alberto Gonzalez :roll: would not give Mac immunity for his congressional testimony. Mac may have gone to jail if he had told the truth in 2005. Pretty easy decision for me....

  • i also to a certain extent get how hard it would be not to use steroids right now. When your whole team is using and when Sosa and Mcgwire get ink and press because of what they do on steroids, and you are some average player, why would you not want to use the steroids?

    But thats another thing I dont get. Wther we are talking baseball or cycling or whatever, where are the whistleblowers? Where are the players who see whats going on and say "hey this is unfair and unhealthy and ridiculous, no one should be using steroids and I wont, and I am gonna blow the whistle on all that are"? Where were and where are those people? How hard is it to have moral fiber and moral chatacter, to have a conscience?

    As I stated from the first post, I am a Mark fan. I supported him when he was an A and I suported him during the home run chase. I even support him now, in that he is a more sympathetic character than the idiot Bonds. That said, thats ridiculous what he said.

    Its like I just said. At a certain point you need to stand up and do the right thing. Those that dont stand up or those who keep quiet or lie, those are not heroes to me. Those who have consciences, those who have integrity, those who are righteous. Those people are my heroes.

    So if Gonzalez, wouldnt have hauled Mark in, Mark would have told the truth? I dont buy it. He let me down, he let all of us down. He let the maris's down. He let his son and kids who are fans of his down.

    I believe Mac on this. Congressman Davis confirmed the night-before attempt at immunity and said Gonzalez nixed it. When asked why, Davis said Gonzalez could "barely put two words together in a sentence." (or two sentences together or something like that) Imagine that - Bush's stooge doing something with an ulterior motive (but I digress).

    After yesterdays admission this seems to be McGwire's fate ....Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

    What have I got to do to make you love me
    What have I got to do to make you care
    What do I do when lightning strikes me
    And I wake to find that you're not there

    What do I do to make you want me
    What have I got to do to be heard
    What do I say when it's all over
    And sorry seems to be the hardest word

    It's sad, so sad
    It's a sad, sad situation
    And it's getting more and more absurd
    It's sad, so sad
    Why can't we talk it over
    Oh it seems to me
    That sorry seems to be the hardest word

    What do I do to make you love me
    What have I got to do to be heard
    What do I do when lightning strikes me
    What have I got to do
    What have I got to do
    When sorry seems to be the hardest word


    Peace
