Baseball vs Congress

[xtremesportsman]

I don't know about anyone else, but I am a little pissed that the US Congress is wasting my tax dollars to see if some over paid, over the hill ball players were using the juice to improve their games... Are they for real? How do they think a 40 year old athlete is going to stay up with his 18 year old rivals... It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see all the records getting broken, the muscle growth of not so big players, the mor keen eyesight, the agressiveness in their games....... Do they think that all these changes come from a few months of working out at Gold's gym... Besides, it is illegal to possess steriods, none of these players have been caught with the juice in their possession... Yet they are holding Congressional hearings to find out who was on it... we are at war with the Middle East, we live with a continous threat that we will be attacked again on our own soil, yet Congress is concerned wheter Pettite lied or Clemens is a juicer... Who cares!!!!!!!! Sosa was juiced when he broke mcGuires record, so what.... McGuire grew 50lbs of muscle when he broke the record, so what!!!!!! Lyle Alzado should be an example of athletes that want to juice... Let them hear his story and how he died... He says it better than Congress could ever say it... Congress shold be more concerned with how our soldiers in the Middle east are holding up, how our senior citizens are getting by, why unemployment is rising and how to correct the real estate market and the economy... Those are the reasons Governement is in office, not to smack the ass of some over the hill ball player that uses illegal dangerous drugs to enhance his game so he can play a few more years...

Heck, I think if they want to use the juice, go for it.
Most fans want to see more home runs, more record setting years anyway.

Very well said !!! They are always worried about running out of money and stealing from SS or whatever else they can hide it behind. I think the GUBMENT is in way to much of our business.Like this crap. Who cares. I like homeruns,touchdowns and the likes but this BLOWING of our money will not benefit me one iota.So what if his head is a size 42 and he dies at 40. Its their life.National talkshow host said babyboomers are draining SS at 55 grand per couple. Maybe my dad should have waited a year to retire he gets $1100. a month and he started drawing last year at age 66.While they keep there hand in his and others cookie jar draining it on stupid S&*$ like this. No wonder there broke and want more taxes.I can't wait another 25 or 30 to see what shape it's in hope I got my bank Full For myself. Might be better if it's my safe at least I'll know where it is.I'M DONE JP

Ya i agree if they want to use roids go ahead and use em!... Ive played college baseball for a couple of years and here's a straight fact... Steroids dont improve your hand eye cordination, they improve strength! So there for it is still the raw talent from that player that connects with the ball and hits longer homeruns, NOT THE STEROIDS!
