If I had my way, steroids would be legal so we wouldn't have to hear about this garbage all the time.

Gammons makes no bones about being a Red Sox fan, and his reporting is fair and accurate. I love the trade rumors he has and all the leads. Now his knowledge of the game pales in comparison to Reynolds, Kruk and Morgan. But he isn't there for baseball startegy, he is there to report on rumors and try and report it as accurate as possible. I don't know how anyone can fault anyone for doing something they love.
He is a reporter. It is his job to report what he knows. Gammons looks the other way. That is what make him a go to guy for GM's and players. I will give you info if you make baseball look good. Fact is that Gammons is more of a salesman for baseball than a reporter. That guy knows what color underwear players are wearing, don't tell me he didn't know about steroids in the game.
