Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Monday, February 09, 2009Today at THTYesterday I spilled some of my coffee when I took a left turn too fast. It was as bad as the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up. Then, as I was reading before bed, I dropped my book and my bookmark fell out, causing me to lose my place. It was the worst thing that had happened since the Jonestown Massacre. Finally, I woke up at 2AM this morning because my leg fell asleep. And it wasn't just numb -- it had the little pins and needles and everything. It was as if 9/11 had happened all over again.Over the top? Well, if the pros can do it so can I. Today at THT: I will cleanse the A-Rod palette with a brief post about Ryan Howard sometime before 7:30, but at around 8AM, I have a mega A-Rod post, so don't say you weren't warned.

It is an impressive list. As I’ll note in my big post later this morning, however, writers (and fans) have a choice to make. They can continue to get outraged at every steroid revelation that comes out, at which point they will eventually be outraged at every player that played and everything that happened in baseball over the past 20 years. If they do, they need to hang it up and find a different profession, because no one should be expected to continue to work in an environment which they find so unseemly. Or they can suck it up, understand that a huge number of players of this era used PEDs and roll with it. I predict they will do or at least should do the latter. And if they do? Than by definition it means that their current-stated outrage was over the top. After all, if as Stark says, A-Rod on roids is worse than the Black Sox scandal, how can he continue to be a baseball fan? Posted 02/09 at 07:32 AM

Johnny Carson used to say that he should never make jokes about death, that they almost always bomb. Sorry, but yours bombed today for me. Some of those events are still too recent. Posted 02/09 at 01:16 PM

Sorry about that Detroit. They’re not always going to be right on the money for everyone. Posted 02/09 at 02:18 PM

Well, Craig, you have to admit that Stark’s list of players that won’t be in the hall someday is pretty damned impressive. Makes you wonder if the nation’s “holier-than-thou” attitude about PED’s is worth the sackcloth it’s written on…As I said somewhere else on the net, I get the impression that damn near everyone in the US ought to be on HGH, and roids haven’t really been shown to be so much a performance enhancer as they have an insurance policy against long lineup absences and those nagging minor aches and pains that squelch a players performance now and then during a 162 game season. In many ways they’re like the medical advances that recent players enjoy and old timers didn’t even dream about. How many guys are there that noone has heard of that aren’t in the HOF because Tommy John surgery didn’t exist when they needed it, or arthro, or some nifty antibiotic…Maybe we ought to embrace the so called PED’s and just enjoy the entertainment we’ve been treated to over the past few decades.
