Who's to Blame ????


This week, I officially became tired of the winter weather. You know, cleaning off your car two or three times a day, trying to travel through ice and blowing snow to cover the basketball playoffs. Yes, it's officially old. So let's talk baseball. My first question for 2008......how will the fans react to the entire steriod mess this season??? And really, who's to blame ????? While players like Bonds and Clemens, Pettite and Tejada share a great deal of the blame and responsibility, don't you think baseball brass should shoulder the blame too ??? Afterall, if they knew Barry Bonds flunked a drug test a month after hitting his 73rd homer, why didn't they do anything about it. When McGuire and Sosa were capturing the attention of the nation, not just the baseball world, chasing Roger Maris' single-season home run record, fans talked about the baseball being juiced or the bats being corked when it may have been the players themselves juiced up as well. It's a shame that some of the greatest players in the last ten to fifteen years from Bonds to Clemens to McGuire may forever be rememberd for steriods and not what they did on the baseball field. Baseball turned it's head away during that time period because the home run chase was filling stadiums around the league. Now baseball may have to pay the ultimate price, their greatest stars put to shame forever. And it's not just the players who share it.
