I have never seen a public figure orally recite — if not exaggerate — his resume over the course of a career without the requisite run for president. It's a miracle he's boasted so little about his single-handedly eradicating steroids, amphetamines and excessively pine-tarred helmets from the sport of baseball.Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736353413710315191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-5714735435028705432008-11-26T09:29:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:29:00.000-05:00Amazing that Tom Verducci's steroid manifesto ...Amazing that Tom Verducci's steroid manifesto came out in June 2002, and that wasn't compelling enough to get Selig & Co. off the couch.<BR/><BR/>It's worth another read: "http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1025902/index.htm?eref=sisf"Jason @ IIATMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675184282951841175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-90383983691982286002008-11-26T09:22:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:22:00.000-05:00You're preachin to the choir Craig.Yes, it worked ...You're preachin to the choir Craig.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it worked perfectly as far as placating the fans ( although I've always argued that most who attend games don't know Radomski from Conte ). Jeff Blair has described it as the industry's " mea culpa ".<BR/><BR/>Beyond that....yes I think there is less juice in the game, but 3 positive tests amongst the big leaguers this season ( none anybody would recognize except us geeks ) is absurd. It's become like the NFL, there is policy and testing and the occassional suspension...but any real stringent efforts to de juice the game, naaaahhhhh, ain't happenin....you can't turn back the clock, bigger, faster, stronger sells not smaller, slower, weaker.Eric Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632341548970196518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-42965551423086816292008-11-26T09:03:00.000-05:002008-11-26T09:03:00.000-05:00It's not Peace Accord in Northern Ireland good but...It's not Peace Accord in Northern Ireland good but I think referencing it as a positive on the old resume would not be lying.Mark Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422034768135948388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-79564548076186298702008-11-26T05:12:00.000-05:002008-11-26T05:12:00.000-05:00Good morning Craig :)You have to admit, The Selig ...Good morning Craig :)<BR/><BR/>You have to admit, The Selig and Mitchell both, once The Selig got his bearings straight and set his attention on righting the PR ship, have performed the task just about perfectly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
