Until they can prove that steroids improves your eyesight so much that a player who couldn't hit all of a sudden can,I really don't care.Baseball through the years was linked to the saying, "If you are cheating, you are not trying." Why should today's players be any different.One of the experts on ESPN said that the Mitchell report proves that steriods don't help as much as they claim because the names on the list are of players that are either young and not that great and older players that used to heal faster.Call me silly but if they were using it to heal faster I don't have a problem with it. It isn't like they are using it to pitch or hit better, they were using it to get back to work faster.Wouldn't you, assuming you like your job,use something to help you get back to work faster after an injury?

D'oh. I am sorry. I don't think it will ever happen that they will Just talk about baseball in the pros.But I can see it happening when ESPN airs the Little League World Series.

I agree. Steroids are just something that needs to be just shut down and then go about it later when it's necessary. I think for some players, it's about trying to prove something. I know there are players like Ken Griffy Jr. want to prove that they can still play despite being injured on a consistent bases. Coaches do what they need to do to win a game without any form of controvesy. I think for Cleveland's coach, it's more about we have to prove to everyone we can play with the top teams and beat them. At least that's what I think anyway.

I agree. Teams that respect the coach and the coach repsecting the players tend to do the best than those that don't have that at all. If that doesn't exist, then the team will never succeed. At least that's what I think anyway.

Yea i agree. I admire Griffey Jr. though for his will to not give up, no matter how many injuries he has. Winning is always great but i personally think its better to coach a program that everyone respects instead of a team that everyone is scared to play, ya know?

I believe that people need to accept that ex-pitchers can be exellent managers. Too many people feel you need to be an ex-catcher to understand the game to the fullest. Look at Bud Black though, he had a great season for the padres and he was a pitcher.
