Tired of hearing about steroids in baseball?  Are you ready to just move on already?  Well, good luck with that:

NEW YORK — All 27 active judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals may take the unprecedented step of rehearing the baseball drug list case, which could delay a final resolution until at least 2011 and possibly later.

In a one-sentence order last Wednesday, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski asked lawyers to submit briefs by Nov. 25 addressing whether the case should be heard by the full court. That day is also the deadline for the federal government to ask the Supreme Court to review the long-running dispute, although the Justice Department could request an extension.

At this point, does anybody really give a shit?  I’ve been watching baseball under the assumption that anyone and everyone has used a banned substance at some point, and honestly, it doesn’t diminish the game at all for me.  I don’t think it’s right, but chalk it up to an ugly era of baseball.  At least there’s solace knowing that since just about everyone is a culprit and that the statistics and records from the past decade or so have been normalized.  I could not be any less interested in who’s doing steroids.  It’s bad, get stricter testing, and let’s move on.  Done.  Instead, we’re going to have more speculation and distraction until at least 2011.  Two more years of self-righteous reporters and feigned indignation!
