Sosa Tested Positive in 2003

[T B0NE 10]

My favorite athletes growing up were in order -

 

1. Reggie White- looks to be the non tarnished one, w/Griffey that I looked up to

 

2. Brett Favre - not steroids but still has ruined his legacy

 

3. Barry Bonds - his 73 HR season was the first I followed

 

4. A-Rod -Thought he has clean, seemed like a natural

 

5. Griffey- I still think he's clean, I hope so. If Arod did, he could have

 

6. Sosa - I liked his swing as a kid, all or nothing.

 

 

Has not been a good year for the guys I used to look up to.

Now Congress is going to investigate Sosa. Why? What's the point? The only thing to be gained from this is an opportunity for the Congressmen involved to grandstand and blow steam.

 

Congress to investigate Sosa

[Invader3K]

It's so great that we live in a country so free of problems that our elected officials can use the time and money we've given them to investigate retired baseball players.

[T B0NE 10]

Well you gotta make sure people know you just can't lie to congress. And Sosa's lying to Congress was seen by millions. They gotta do something to make it look like at least they are looking into it. He swore to tell the truth.

I agree with the investigation. Perjury is an extremely serious matter and not one to be taken lightly. It isn't prosecuted nearly enough, IMO.

Um...I like Reggie White for what he did for the Pack...but you are lying to yourself if you call him untarnished. He stole money that was meant to rebuild his church and that whole antigay speach in front of the the state assembly was pretty bad. Its also you opinion that Favre has ruined his legacy, why do you blame him for wanting to play the game that he loves, it was Ted Thompson who wouldnt let him play for the packers, not Favre wanting to play for another team.

 

I just hope they release all the names from 2003 so we can move on from this thing. It is obvious Sosa was juicing. There is only 1 name everyone cares about from the list, Pujols. Lets see if he is on the list and then move on with the understanding that when you look at the stats from the steroid era you need to round down a little bit.

[T B0NE 10]

Yeah they need to release the whole list of players.....Thats unfair to the names already out there and unfair to the innocent. What does it matter if the name is Sosa or Alex Sanchez? They are both cheaters.

 

I wonder what former Brewers are on the list.

[davego]

Alex Sanchez for starters.

I've long suspected Jenkins, all of a sudden everything he hit hard started dying at the warning track when you could tell he thought he got enough to get it out. Oddly Hall is doing the same thing, any ball that carries a little bit he stands and watches like he thinks it's going to leave the park. I think in Hall's case it's more likely he's lost his explosiveness due to his swing mechanics, he's losing a ton of power through his core, but I'll always be suspicious of Jenks.

[T B0NE 10]

Jenkins

Burnitz

Sexson

Belliard

Jose Hernandez

Hammonds

 

 

Those names wouldn't surprise me

 

Man do I miss the days of those guys being in our lineup............not

[Tailgat0r76]

John Jaha?

 

 

Probably Matt Wise too

[EAsports28]

I'm also on the bandwagon for releasing all the names. I don't like how sticky the legal situation is, what with the results never supposed to be revealed, but there are several problems with using that as a reason to ignore the remaining players, from it being unfair to the players already outed if the rest of the positive tests are never released, plus the damage the trickle of released names is doing to the game.

 

More importantly though, the main issue here is that the players were cheating, and they did their best to ensure that they would be able to continue cheating for as long as they could. If the players' argument asks to preserve honesty in the nondisclosure agreement as a reason for not divulging the remaining names, they look rather laughable pretending that they have the moral high ground after so arrogantly breaking the rules.
