Big time steroid bust in MLB...
« on: June 07, 2006, 03:19:49 pm »
Didn't see this anywhere else, but it's all over the news...

Jason Grimsley, former Astros farmhand and reward for Curt Schilling....busted for HGH and amphetamines...cooperating, implicated several teammates and says HGH and amphetamines rampant in MLB.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

In sports as in most other things, the mainstream media is content to parrot the official line and shirk its responsibility to at least scratch the surface.

Although, sometimes it just takes a few brave reporters to blaze the trail, especially in this case, where the majority of fans are clearly against steroid use.

In certain other cases, it's almost like people want to believe the deceit...

With regard to the steroids, I'm sure the owners' position haven't changed.  Chicks (and chuckleheads) for the most part still dig the long ball.

From reading the article, I don't know if I'm more shocked by the fact that Grimsley had the stupidity to fuck with the feds after they already busted him, or the fact that Terry Mulholland is still on a major league roster. Poor Diamondbacks. If Bob Brenly were alive right now, he'd be rolling in his grave.
