Big Papi = Big Cheater

I have given it up Paul...it has been tarnished and sullied! The innocence of the game has been lost and this steroid crap is just the straw that broke the camels back!

Oh.....and its not a "game" anymore and hasn't been for quite awhile....it is a business and this is what has ruined it for me! Make money at all costs......from ownership right on down to the players.....just make money! No love of the game or for the game.....no sense of history and for the glory that used to be "Baseball".

"Just make money" It's the American way. I can't believe what's happened to this country from the every day job to the national pastime. No pride and no shame, just greed. It gets harder to resist and avoid this philosophy every day...........
Just look at Papi and tell me you had no clue he was a juicer, or any of the other bovine monsters thundering around the base paths. We all knew this was coming...
Just name the names, void their contracts, send them home and let's get on with it. Paul's correct , they drag the honest players in their filth with them.

And to think they continue to keep "Charlie Hustle" (who has more hits than anyone who ever played) out of the hall of fame, because he gambled on the game (as a manager, not a player) and that compromised the integrity of the game !!!

[BigFish]

Rose should be eligible as a player....exempt as a manager. His wrong doing was done when his playing days were over!! What he did pales in comparison to what the steroid users have done....they have ruined the game. They have taken the integrity out of the game!

I grew up across the Ohio River and a little East from Cincinnati. The Reds were our team. After games Rose would sign autographs for kids as long as theykept coming. Long after his teammates were showered and left Riverside Stadium. All time hit leader, yes he should be in the hall.
