Enough with baseball!

Okay, so I get that baseball was America's Pasttime. Emphasis on was. But, please, stop. Stop with the stories of steroids. Stop with A-Rod. Stop with Bonds. Please, I am begging you, stop!

We get it. Baseball players took steroids. It was cheating. Well, not technically, since MLB did not have a policy against roiding up! They then lied about it - a lot. Then they lied about lying about it. Then they decided not to talk to Congress and to focus on the future. So what?

Is anyone surprised that Barry Bonds took steroids? I mean, flaxseed oil. His head went from the size of my head to needing specially made hats that were 2 hats sewn together. His arms looked like thighs. His things looked like Yugos. That is not natural.

Now we find out that A-Rod took roids. Well, we think he did. He admits doing it from 2001 to 2003. But, this is after he lied to Sports Illustrated and that esteemed journalist - Katie Couric. Now he says he did it for 3 years because he had to live up to the pressure of having signed a $252 million contract. That's pressure? Really? Dude, try working 8 to 5, coming home to your kids, then going out on your 2nd job just to pay the bills. That is pressure. Getting paid to play a kid's game? That's not pressure. That's you being lame.

McGwire? Roided up. Canseco? At least he man'd up and admitted it. 103 players failed steroid tests in the first part of this decade. Not all of them were named in the Mitchell Report.

Now Miguel Tejada says that he lied to Congress. He even pled to a misdemeanor. The GM of the Houston Astros, Tejada's employer, says it has been a bad week for sports. For sports? Really? WRONG! It has been a bad week for liars.

Look, baseball is full of cheaters. And most Americans do not care. More people attend baseball games every year. Profits are up. The MLB network has started.

But, baseball is not America's Pasttime. Name the top 20 baseball players in the country. I can't. When I was 8, 9, 10, even 15, I could name the top 50. But, people go watch baseball, without caring about it. Why? Because the players are not friendly, not approachable, and cheaters. So, we watch it like we watch wrestling - to see what happens with no buy in to the players.

By the way, nice job MLB Players Union. You never destroyed the tests from the first part of this decade? What were you thinking? Oh wait, you weren't. You failed your members. You should all be fired - and forced to return your salaries. You were clearly sleeping on the job. Maybe you were roided up too and needed a nap!
