Will it take an act of Congress?

CS - No. Given what I've heard from the MLBPA, & Commish.

RP - No. SS - No.

MM - Don't know. Whatever it takes.

JC - Yes. MLB evolving (parks, bats). Even w/out supplements are damn sophisticated these days. The day will come when MLB has to use alum bats. (prioritizing the shortage of lumber facing the world to be used for housing vs a game)

 

Seriousness of the problem:

CS - JC is a liar. Guess 5-10 in his playing time.

RP - 1% too high.

MM - don't know. SS - don't know.

JC - 80% 1994-2000. Curtailed greatly after McGuire's andro scandal.

 

If MLB doesn't do anything will you seek congressional action?

CS - league will do the right thing. Y - MM, RP, SS

JC - Y. It's a major mistake to expect the league to clean itself

 

They are turning on Schilling.

I'm so sick of this hearing. I know no one agrees with me, but I have to say this - WHO CARES if anyone used steroids? I didn't hear people complaining when all those homers were being hit in the mid-90s. As far as I'm concerned, they saved baseball. What a dog & pony show.

Did you guess expect Schilling to show up today & basically say "There is no problem. We're handling it?"

 

Why is he on the zero-tolerance task force again?

 

Win at all cost mentality - sports, media, business, & politics (pacs are our roids). If we don't go deeper with this will be back her years from now.

 

Speak to the youth:

CS - Steroids is cheating & winning w/out honor has no value.

MM - Steroids are wrong. Don't take them. False hope.

SS - Hard work, believe in yourself. Refer to myself.

JC - I made a mistake using it. Don't do it. It's not worth it. Money is not everything. MLB will not regulate themselves. When it comes to making $ they are on the same page.
