It seems strange to me that Ryan Braun is the first domino to fall in the most recent round of drug abuse/misuse in the MLB. First of all, my gut suspicion says that there are many (2-3) other big name guys that are "active" on rosters involved with this story. Ryan Braun and, A-Rod are both the 2 names that keep coming up on this list of drug abuse. Where are the guys that hit homers and, are offensive power houses for their teams? Now let me be clear; I am not accusing any "one" player at this point. But, I find it very, very convenient that Braun and A-Rod are the guys that the media and, MLB keep pointing to. Its ok to point the finger at them b/c everybody knows that when you do steroids you start to play poorly or, have an injury to your thumb.
On a side note; Why is Joe Girardi talking about how the game has cleaned up? Really!? They (MLB) went like 15 years (something like 6-7 for darn certain) of knowing that this was going on and, did "NOTHING". They had no problem taking that money from fans while Barry blasted it 500 feet. We had no idea what was going on! Really!? As far as I'm concerned Girardi in a very strange way....I think the game is as dirty as ever. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why baseball's popularity over the last 20 years in general has dropped. Moms want their kids to play soccer b/c they don't want them to do steroids. Don't worry when the NFL (due to safety issues/concussions) and MLB (due to steroids) can't get kids to play on the school yard; soccer will be there to pick up the pieces.
