Let the steroid controversy begin anew
Congratulations to Major League Baseball for catching another steroid user. Unfortunately, in the case of Rafael Palmeiro, this time it has to be a guy whose career I liked because he never tried to upstage anyone or put personal accomplishment ahead of team goals (unlike a certain Oriole teammate and former Tulsa Driller whom I will refer to as "Corky" for the purposes of this rant). With Palmeiro's 3000th hit acouple of weeks back, I was very solidly in the camp of supporter for his Hall of Fame bid, but now , though I believe he should still get in , I find my support wavering. If it was an accident, as Palmeiro stated, it was just horrid timing, but the deeper issue still troubles me. I am a baseball fan, and I want to be able to look at a game and genuinely root for guys because they are giving fair effort at a game that I and many others would love to play if we had the ability. One more thing , just as a note to MLB, it may be a good idea to test "Corky" next time you're in Baltimore.

My thoughts exactly on Raffy. As an O's fan I was heartbroken, and I want to believe him, but I just don't. And yes, test "Corky", please.
