Ok, so every news article out there has some story on A-Rod, Steroids and the Major Leagues.  And, all in all, there is a problem with baseball (or was a problem if you listen to the commissioner, or the head of the players association).  The problem is/was that there was a substance that would give you shorter recovery times after major injuries, or give your muscles additional treatments which would allow them to heal quicker after exersion (like lifting or conducting some type of sports action).  That problem appears to have been snuffed out and the Media is now having a frenzy pointing out all the people that 'did bad' in the past.  Hey, I can't say that if I was in the Majors that I wouldn't have done it.  Hell, I know people that played sports in College and did it, and that was in the '90's too.

The big deal with this is that steroids, in and of themselves, don't give you a Barry Bonds career.  You have to have all the other tools too.  I guess the feeling of being 'cheated' by the media is a big enough story, but honestly, it's not HUGE.  The HUGE story should be that there are Hall of Famers that have been known to be drunks, bastards, and handled their lives poorly off the baseball field.  That's more of an issue with me.  Putting people like that on a pedistal such as the Hall of Fame is a slap in the face to people who do things right, like... well I'm afraid to say any Major League player.  For fear that he may have done steroids too.

But I digress.  In a few years, this will all be behind us and life will drive on.  People will go to the Hall with their records tarnished due to Steroids, but hey.  They are in good company...
