i agree with you...you gotta do what you gotta do to win

That statement opens up a whole can of worms. Seriously, if you take it literally then you should have no problem with steroid-use, corked bats, scuffing the ball (pitchers), grabbing someone's belt loop (an old-school method of cheating), tripping a baserunner, doing the Alex Rodriguez arm slap, etc.

its easy to say bending the rules is bad as a spectator, but put youself in the persons shoes, its natural instinct to w/e it takes to be the best

From your last few posts, I would guess you're 15 yrs old or younger? Do I win a prize?

Can we put the steroid issue to rest, at least until the offseason?

So all the players who have been caught put their career in jeopardy for something that doesn't make you better? Steroids are on the MLB banned list just because?

I think someone here deserves a prize... ;-7

The problem here is that many people have a different definition of proper ethics and morals, just as people have different ways of conduct. I think that as peers, we should offer our $0.02, but not go onto a crazy persecuting witch-hunt if we believe that their morals are flawed. If that's the way that they think, even with our rational thoughts on the matter, let them be. We don't want to sound sanctimonious.

Exactly, athletes put huge pressure on themselves to exceed at the highest level, and many of them will do whatever it takes to succeed.

This matters in the terms of this thread because...? :-?

Is it a crime to be 15 yrs old or younger, and post on these boards? :-?
