Congress to Review Sosa’s Testimony
So, now we know that Sammy Sosa is on that not-so-anonymous list of steroid users. I’ll be brief on this. Despite what some of the baseball experts and Cubs fans claim, this is not a victimless crime.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in 1998 in a celebrated pursuit of baseball’s single-season home run record, is among the players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003.
For every record-breaking home run hit (and/or run batted in), McGwire and Sosa also increased the earned run averages of the opposing pitchers, with a probable negative effect on subsequent contract negotiations. As far as Roger Clemens goes, every player he struck (or got) out had his batting average lowered, and again could have impacted future contracts. The “integrity” of the game was not the only thing lost here.

BTW — A special thanks to the Motel 6 in St. Cloud, Minnesota for allowing us to check in four hours early after our 22+ hour marathon drive.
Boxer, typical California Liberal. Not a frickin’ clue. Pelosi, Feinstein and Boxer. Do we detect a trend here?
wow….congrats on the drive, bob! had no idea that was even POSSIBLE (22 hour drive from Mass. to Minn)
hope all goes well
speaking of Boxer though, Chuck Devore is running against her in 2010. Thank god!
You know, maybe I’m slow or something but what the hell does Congress care about who is using steroids and who isn’t? Shouldn’t that be something that the MLB takes care of?
Are we now going to have a Sports Czar to make sure there is fairness and equality across the sports spectrum? Refs will go through Congressional conformation hearings and congressmen will help to make the draft picks for teams in their districts…
Well it sure looks like Pelosi is whacked out on something most of the time. If the bags under her eyes sag any lower she won’t need suitcases to carry her clothes in. Maybe she should be checked for Botox intoxication. The Libs always stick their noses in places they should normally not be, like changing the Constitutional Amendments to mean what they think it should mean. Next they will be into Ping Pong, demanding drug testing for the Ping Pong Balls for Flubber or testing the Paddles for Ironwood. They need something to do while Obama trashes the Country, as they sure ain’t paying attention to what he is doing.

i think they are paying attention.
however.
they don’t care.
he is doing what they would do.
both of the above.
it’s all about staying in office.
anyone who speaks up, gets voted out by the angry left.
instinct,
why didn’t you mention the congressional hearings hussein had convened to hear testimony about why college football doesn’t have a playoff system?
Louielouie,
By using copious amounts of alcohol I had blocked that particular memory. Now I have to go back and do it all over again…. which really isn’t THAT bad of a thought I guess…
Boxer really made me bristle with that admonition to the general. I’m afraid I would have refrained from calling her anything after that, just answering her questions politely — nothing more. Certainly do hope she gets her ego squashed in 2010. Nobody deserves it more than she.
As for baseball, how does this affect my husband’s collection of 500 hitters autographed baseballs? He says this just increases it’s value. If so, it tells me this country is really in trouble morally.
