And since I'm going to bed, I just wanted to say that the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl.

Every sport has its dirty laundry, but Baseball takes it to a whole different level. 2 players from the vikings found a loophole to play while using PED's and Rodger Goddell meets with the supreme court to prevent that from ever happening again. Mark McGwire admits to using Roids' before his statute of limitations run out from pleading the 5th (the real reason why) and Bud Selig denies any prior knowledge of anyone in the MLB using PED's and the later tries to make McGwire look all noble like he did it to save baseball? Shit happens, but it's better to try to clean it up instead of spraying perfume and covering it with a rag.

If you have seen the show Playmakers it explains everything.

Baseball....ROFL. That is the most pathetic excuse for a sport there is out there. Tennis, GOLF, ping pong, male cheerleading, etc are all better sports. Real talk.

Get out of Chitown, NY, and St. Louis and you will quickly realize baseball fucking blows dick.

Imagine how fantastic the sport would be...if the people running it knew what they were doing and established a salary cap instead of a retarded luxury tax (with an xbox huge cap). Imagine how many less or shorter injuries there would be in baseball if the contracts weren't retardedly guaranteed.

Just imagine...baseball fan(s)...

Didn't the World Series have almost twice the ratings of MNF this year?

I have a feeling you're trolling but fuck it I'm bored and can't sleep.

McGwire admitted to using steroids because he was hired as the Cardinals hitting coach and had to face the music about his past use that he never admitted to. He also never pled the 5th, he (very infamously) said "I'm not here to talk about the past" when asked if he ever did steroids by the congressional committee.

As for Selig, he is indeed a horrible commish, but where do you get the idea he ever denied prior knowledge of steroid use in baseball? He had Senator Mitchell conduct an entire - highly publicized - investigation on use in baseball that outed Roger Clemens as a roid user. How do you interpret that as "covering it with a rag"?

That's all beside the point really. The fact is both sports are rampant with steroid use, the only reason baseball has more attention focused on it is because the sports records are highly romanticized (Aaron's HR record, DiMaggio's hit streak, Maris' single season HR mark, Pete Rose's hit total, etc) that when these records are broken by someone who people think had an unfair advantage, it provokes a response.

Ya know that boi Shawne Merriman got caught roidin'

Arghhhh I hate getting trolled but you people are so ignorant it's amazing and I CANNOT RESIST

First of all, you forgot LA, Milwaukee, Philly, Boston, and San Fransisco as towns that love baseball (all who drew around 3 million fans this past year)

Next, the people "running" baseball have no power to change the salary cap system, the player's union is far too strong. The luxury tax was designed to hurt the Yankees from spending so much money.

Even so, baseball had more unique champions this decade than football did.

[Cleverness]

Last time there was any development towards a salary cap was during the '94 strike, where the World Series was canceled and much of the season. And Dave Winfield was traded over a dinner tab.

DINNER. It ain't happening.

[GRT]

wow, Ceph bit twice and swallowed all the trolls? you guys are no fun

you know, football is the only one out of the 4 major sports in America that nobody else in the world gives a damn

unless you are talking about the Real Football

Ugh. Ceph, no reason to take the bait even when admitting to it. This isn't "FOOTBALL VS BASEBALL FITE TIME" or anything, so let's keep it out of here.

[Cephius]

I can't resist The funny thing is it's not like I even hate football or anything...

[Sol-Blackguy]

Bullshit, there's like 14 Mexicans expected to be drafted for the 2010 season.

[Tyche]

For every one household NFL name accused of roid use, you can name 50 MLB players. Wait, is merriman even a household name lol?

[Cephius]

Isn't that beside the point? Does your average even care that NFL players use roids? Hell, I'm sure they expect it.

[Akiyama]

Stop taking bait, Ceph! Jesus. You'd buy into any troll act.

[Headspace]

You can play pro baseball on a diet of beer and hotdogs.

Not a sport.

Good, Britain needs to stop stealing games.

[Weltall]

With or without the steroids, the sport blows Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Cuban dick.
