Hell, at least 90% of mlb players would have tested positive for performance enhancing "drugs" in the late 90's/early to mid 2000's.

I'm shocked...that it took so long for this to come out.

I think it's complete BS that they don't release the entire list of 104 names and that some players get called out like this individually, and some don't get called out at all. Its about time all of the indignants are revealed.

Who the fuck cares? Why does this continue to be news?

EVERY MAJOR SLUGGER OF THE PAST DECADE HAS PROBABLY DONE STEROIDS. Just look at all the names that continue to filter in.

I'm a Phillies fan and I'm sure Ryan Howard will test positive sooner or later.

The worst part is that people waste steroids on the most horrendously boring sport there is. Baseball... meh.

I want to start seeing people taking performance enhancing drugs in sports where you would never expect it. "Tiger Woods steps up to the tee... and look at that, a 700 yard drive! That's his low for the day, I wonder if this heat is starting to affect his swing..."

wait wait wait, you accuse baseball of being the most boring sport there is and then immediately think about... golf?

Athletes in every sport use performance enhancing drugs, it's not like baseball is some anomaly.

Anyway, it's no real surprise that Sosa tested positive. This list is going to haunt MLB until we here every last name off of it. Instead of letting them leak out one at a time, I'd rather they just preclude all the "anonymous sources" and release the whole damn list. The problem with that is that releasing the list violates the agreement that was in place about the drug tests. The real problem is that those idiots at one of the labs didn't destroy the table that associated player's names to the samples.

I never said golf was a sport. Golf is an activity, a game, a pasttime, whatever. Calling it a sport is a stretch.

Although even if you consider golf a sport, I still do find it more exciting than baseball. So my point stands.
