Don't get insulted, but is your job devoted to spreading ignorance?

Doesn't flaxseed oil give you the runs? :-?

Maybe that's why Sanchez ran so fast.

"See, Congress?", asked Laurel and Hardy (Fehr and Selig). "We have everything under control." Sure you do, guys.

Oh, by the way, this suspension is for ten days...not even ten games, and the guy they choose to hang as the first evildoer is a guy who's already considered one of the biggest dopes in the game by those inside the game. Basically, no one likes Sanchez very much so he's the perfect villain.

Show me a positive test for a superstar and maybe I'll bite. Meanwhile, we'll probably get positive tests for another two or three lower tier individuals over the next ten days.

Meanwhile, the baseball world, including the TV talking heads, will extol the virtues of baseball's "tough new policy." Like I said, what a crock.

Until we see one year suspensions for first time positive testers and lifetime bans for second offenses, the problem will not go away. We live in a world where publicly humiliating oneself is no longer a big deal (anyone watch these celebrity reality programs or the daily TV talkfests?). Anyone who truly believes that a meager ten day suspension will dissuade anyone from ingesting something that might make them millions of dollars is blind to the truth.

I'm a lifelong liberal and staunch Democrat, but I'm 100% behind Senator McCain on this one.

Great post. I agree 100% ;-D
