You guys know what the best part of being a Cubs fan is right now? No prominent players of ours were in that Mitchell Report. Also, how much would it suck if the CUbs had broken their no-championships run in about 2000 when it looks like a lot of Yankees and Mets were on the juice? I wouldn't want to see our glory year reduced to this level.
I'm re-thinking whether or not Mark McGwire should be in the Hall. He WAS the best home run hitter of his time; pitchers were on the juice, too, as were a lot, if not all, of the big power men of the time (Sosa was on HGH and Superballs, I guess). Other known cheaters are in the Hall; Gaylord Perry is one. The tactics of John McGraw and Ty Cobb strike me as so much shadier than what McGwire has done (which was not illegal). Believe me, it would be easy to just laugh and wave off this former Cardinal great. As a Cub fan, I welcome having something good to say back when these downstate and Arch-city upstarts laugh and tell us that anyone can have a bad century! Oooooh!
But let's put the pitchforks and flaming torches away and just test aggressively for future users. We all loved the homers. Chick dig the long ball, and all that. For that, we all share some blame for this substance fiasco. Roger, more than anythign else, is guilty of insulting our intelligence, and being too arrogant to imagine himself behind bars for perjury. I'm sorry if he thinks only Democrats ever get in trouble for the things they do wrong. Roger, it's not true. Save yourself while there is still time.
