and it kills me every time someone gets popped for a PED.

The player who gets popped, I do not feel bad for, it is everyone else, who now get put under the microscope, and it devalues the guys who worked hard and by the books to get where they are.

Thome should be higher on the home run list, but because of McGwire and Sosa and such, they devalue his contribution to the sport.

      - Pete Rose bet *on* his team, and was banned. He did nothing to tamper with the integrity of the games played but was banned for life. - Spawn Aug 23, 09:14
