Picture this…you’re one of the most prolific home run hitters in baseball, you make upwards of 15 million dollars a year and even at age 42 you have the best batting average in the league. Who are you? You’re Barry fucking Bonds in 2004 and you are having one of the best seasons in your career. Little did you know that the next year, people would be calling you a roid user and your career forever tainted…

Alright, I have to stop talking like that now. It’s annoying to type the word “you” that many times in a paragraph. Before I go on, here’s a disclaimer: I’m not going to name names, well after Barry Bonds anyways, because I don’t know who did what. This is aimed at the people who are using/have used roids…they know who they are. And before you say anything, I’m not accusing Bonds; I just used his name to illustrate a point…a point which is totally unclear to me at this time. Now on to the point of why I wrote something that has no apparent point…

What the fuck is up with all these baseball players getting hit up on steroid charges? In 9 short years there have been over 100 players implicated. I can’t imagine that all these assholes are using, but 100 out of 750 (I only count the teams’ Major League roster, not the full 40-man roster) is quite a staggering number considering that most on the list are some of baseball’s best. So I ask: why the fuck would you throw away millions of dollars just to hit the ball over the fence a little more often and a little further? Has it really come to that? You do know that even if you have a less-than-stellar season you are still going to get paid more than 95% of the people who live in this country, right? Not to mention the fact that all you do with yourself is play a fucking game; a non-contact game at that.

I know that using drugs of this kind happens in almost every sport, but damn, at least make it worth it. Go around Ty-Cobbing mother fuckers so you can show how bad assed you are with your cheater muscles. Seriously…instead of tagging someone out, run them the fuck over like a linebacker would do to a running back. Please don’t let your fake muscles go to waste; I want to be entertained by baseball again!

Back on topic…yes this happens in almost every sport, but it’s not near as prevalent. Take football for example; the no roids rule has been around since 1987 and only 60 players have ever been in trouble for it (I guess not technically true, because there were almost the same amount of retired or non active players caught as well). Baseball has the same amount of numbers in half the time. There may very well be more since the no roids rule in baseball has only been in effect since 2000. I just don’t understand it. The minimum wage in baseball as of this moment is almost 400 grand and most of these guys make tons more than that…like 5 or 6 times more than that. If you would knowingly and purposely take roids while a professional athlete, you are a fucking retard and deserve to be stripped of any record(s) you may have held.

I could go on and on about all of this, but I’ll leave you with this: I hate baseball…have since all the whiney bitches went on strike a few years back.
