Baseball Hooked on Steroids

The problem begins… now! Bashes John's My Word do your blood boil? to listen unrecorded to on fox News Radio (weekdays, 6-9 p.m. ET). It's your opportunity to name in and reason with John!

In the unafraid anticipation department, I'd wish to venture the sentiment that steroids and baseball game are now the same thing. I don't believe steroids are going to travel away because baseball game is now officially hooked.

It's hooked on homerun batters who literally hit the ball out of the park, like Barry Bonds hitting balls beyond the walls of the ballpark. Baseball is hooked on hurlers like Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens who can throw 90-plus statute miles an hr and accumulate Sociable Security at the same time.

Bud Selig states nil is more than of import to him than the unity of this game, and I must state I make not believe him. I'm sure he did desire the jobs revealed, but I believe it was to do full revelation to the public and now baseball game will wait and see how large the stink is.

I foretell the public volition yawning and will only desire to cognize when springtime preparation starts. There will be some gobbledy sludge about accepting Sen. Saint George Mitchell's recommendations and clamping down on steroid use, and it will come up to almost nothing. Related

There will be public floggings, of course. And there will be teary-eyed confessions, but the participants and the commissioner cognize the public doesn't care. The public — the people who actually purchase tickets and travel to games and ticker games on wage television — desires more than than flourishing homeruns and more fire-breathing hurlers throwing a ball so fast it cannot be seen.

That's what have made baseball game so obscenely rich, and forgiveness me, but I don't believe anybody is giving up any money here. None of the participants and the executive directors have got any history of going for less money, fewer fans and lesser players.

So we're going to have got a summit, states commissioner Selig. Excuse me, but it's getting so deep around here you necessitate hip boots. Soon adequate it will be "Play ball" and bury this stuff. The fans desire to see difficult throwsters and large hitters.

Selig states our fans rate a game played on a degree playing field. He cognizes darn well cipher really cares about that.

That's My Word.
