Look I know it’s the offseason and all so I suppose the Mark McGwire steroid admission is “news” but come on people.  This would be the equivalent to Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens admitting they juiced.   I mean at this point it’s so damned futile and so damned obvious that what is the point?

And I can’t stand this whole “the truth will set you free” garbage.  Which unfortunately is true.  Case in point?  Jason Giambi, or even Manny Ramirez.  I shall explain.

Is it me or did people actually seem like they felt sorry for Jason Giambi when he admitted to his steroid use?  Hell the guy got a standing ovation when he returned to the field.  Um, excuse me but he did steroids!  He broke the rules.  Manny?  Clearly Manny is a joker and would have never said a word had he not been caught.

But what happens the day Manny being Manny steps back onto the field?  A rousing round of applause.  I don’t understand fans and I don’t understand what makes one player doing steroids acceptable and another not.  I think it’s, “if you admit it” you’re fine.  If you don’t you’re an asshole?  That seems about right and yes I think it is that cut and dry.

Honestly I’m not sure why McGwire finally admitted it.  I guess he did it because he was tired of lying and everyone knowing he did it anyway.  But Jesus Christ to ever really forgive the guy would be lunacy.  And for us to be writing about this is well…it’s just killing time.

But life goes on and McGwire still broke the rules.  Whatever.  I just want to see A-Rod’s new chick more.  She’s pretty hot
