And What About The Viagra....

I do not buy it at all. Rafael Palmeiro is a lying sack of you-know-what and he is trying to get us to believe it again. Do you remember the Senate hearings during Spring Training when Palmeiro told the world that he never took steroids in response to the allegations in Jose Canseco's autobiography? Well it was all a crock. It was the equivalent to Bill Clinton telling America that he never did the nasty with Monica. Two cheaters. (At least Bubba was cheating on Mr. Hillary Clinton. Palmeiro cheated on America's Pastime.) Today Palmeiro was handed a 10-game suspension by Major League Baseball for failing a steroid test. The Orioles first baseman -- who recently became only the fourth person in MLB history with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs -- actually denies the results of the test. He claims he doesn't know how the sterioids got in his system. Rafael, it was probably the little needle you have been sticking in your ass for the past 15-years. The sad thing is (for baseball fans) is that this is another example of Hall-of-Fame numbers being caused by illegal substances. The home run totals of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield should be wiped clear from the slate. Hitters like Andre Dawson and Jim Rice should be celebrated; they produced without the aid of steroids.
