It is not fair for teams and players to use drugs to enhance their performance. Here is a way to stop this. Any player caught using performance enhancing drugs be banned from baseball for life and his record wiped off baseball records. It would be like the player never played.

Then, that brings us to the teams that benefit from these players. They would forfeit all post season games that they allowed a drugged up player to play in. Put the responsibility back on the team and player to stop this madness. I no longer watch or go to baseball games because of the problem.
Do you think it was fair for Hank Aaron’s record to be broken by a player usiong performance enhancing drugs? i don’t!
Make the game wholesome again.

I was a police officer for almost ten years, and what always amazed me is how officers always stood by other officers who were accused of some sort of wrongdoing, whether it be departmental or criminal. If I were a clean player, I’d be demanding the list be released, not getting on TV like Nomar Garciaparra and calling the whole testing process into question such as to deflect attention away from the real problem–cheating teammates.

[...] Hank, here's a start: Ramirez, Ortiz exposed | Jeff Schultz By Jeff Schultz 1) Call a prime time news conference (heck, Obama can do it, why not me?) 2) At this conference, have the national championship Little Leagers sit behind me, on bleachers. 3) Announce that this game's greatness is about history, tradition, and how we pass down this tradition to our …. All Star game reverts back to not mattering (not that it really does), home team advantage determined by results of interleague play – ties broken by best record of team of either league. … Jeff Schultz – http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/ [...]

God bless Big Papi! In the 2004 ALCS he hit that dinger against the Evil Empire, in extra innings when the Sox were down 3-zip in the series, to win the game. He turned it all around, and the Bosox won the big one. Finally.

I can die happy.

Seems to me that there is a direct correlation between the Dominican Republic and steroid use – I have heard stories that there is a culture of cheating there and recently several players from there, minor-league level, were given 50-game bans. Look at all the players already outed from that list and other sources that hail from the DR. Cheating on a wide scale that includes birth certificates, (can you say Danny Almonte, former Little League World Series cheat?), steroid use, etc.

Anyone who didn’t have David Ortiz on that list is fooling themselves. He was awful with the Twins for years and then they cut him and the Red Sox sign him and he becomes the Dominican Babe Ruth? Please that guy cheated big time.

I would be shocked if Javy Lopez was not on the list.

We was thinking how KJ went 0-4 today and Prado might have got a hit. Can’t be sure but maybe Prado could have drove in a run along the way since he swings the bat a lot better than KJ has been swinging. Well, Bobby must have figured that it wouldn’t hurt none to sit Prado in case they needed him later to pinch hit.

Should it be a quick bat or a fast bat? We was thinking it must be quick bat instead of fast bat. Quick bat, fast swing. We was always swinging a quick bat back when we was playing ball together.

I would challenge in court the previous court’s order to seal the list. The list contains information on those who may have violated federal controlled substances restrictions. Therefore, the list could be a material fact in a crime. Depending upon the statute of limitations, one could claim that the previous court is hiding evidence.

Andruw Jones may have taken PEDs, but his downfall was the girls at Cheetah and Scott Boras telling him to be home run hitter. Similar thing with Francour. He had a great rookie season and in the off-season he muscled up. Seems to me that there are two ways to hit a lot of homers – bat speed or muscle. Aaron wasn’t a great big muscle man. He did it with his wrists. Jones and Francour tried the other route – and it ruined them as “hitters”.
