Jason Giambi has agreed to meet with George Mitchell, the former Senate Majority Leader, who is in charge of the witchhunt investigation into Major League Baseball’s steroid problem.  Of course, this is after Giambi was threatened with suspension if he didn’t cooperate.  So, off-handedly referencing possibly using something that wasn’t against the rules at the time warrants a suspension now?

From here on, I give Bud Selig until the end of the 2008 calendar year before he is no longer commissioner of Major League Baseball.  He will forever be remembered as the guy who led the steroid witchhunt (and failed in the end), and the guy who called the All-Star game a tie.

Major League Baseball has a major problem.  And unfortunately, they are as bad as the suspected steroid users.  Both baseball and some of it’s players used questionable means to catipult themselves back to the front pages and reestablishing themselves as America’s pasttime.

Does anyone remember that baseball was left for dead after the strike in 1994 and it wasn’t until Sosa and McGwire’s 1998 seasons that baseball was back.  They single (or double) handedly saved the game.  How quick baseball was to turn their backs when evil Barry Bonds broke those great records.

And maybe it’s me, but they found a bottle of Andro in McGwire’s locker in 1998.  Andro was completely legal in 1998.  Both in society and baseball, andro was not against the rules.  It was sold over the counter and classified as a nutritional supplement.  Not a steroid.  Not to mention that after his rookie year, everyone in baseball knew that if McGwire could stay healthy, he could break the HR record.

I don’t want to go crazy right now on the steroid thing, because I’ll have lots more on it in due time.  Stay tuned for bunches of steroid stories.
