Voters don’t care about Steroids

Relaxing on his suspension time?

I know steroids have been a big issue over the last decade of baseball, as more and more names come out, does anyone truly care? Based on recent All-Star balloting it doesn’t seem like the very many voters care, and I have to side with them.  I just want to see the best players no matter what they’re on. I don’t disagree with penalizing them when they are caught, but if the never are so be it. Manny is currently the fourth in the outfield race for the NL, and hasn’t played for the last 18 games! He was caught using a banned substance, and suspended for 50 games. And none of this has made any impression on the All-Star voting. You know what, I hope he makes it.

The other roid rager of this year, A-Rod, is currently third in the balloting list for AL All-Star third baseman. I guess this proves that people don’t like bad liars that are too stupid to think that they’ll get away with it.  I’ve come to believe that fans just want to see the best players on the field no matter what they did. Personally I’d vote nearly all the guys from this steroid era into the HOF, but that’s a whole other topic…

I had to add this Little John and Manny comparison that I ran across… YEEAAAHH!
