Roger= Barry=Mark= Any MLB player..Forget the name..they are testifying based on who they work for,

My issue isn't with Roger, et al, it's with MLB as a company. It's pretty obvious from horse racing that when someone is implicated, the sport in general is implicated. Maybe it's sad, but that's what I want to see happen to baseball.
Like I said if they remove the excepmtion then owners will have a much easier time moving teams. Of course MLB wants to keep it, but it isnt this get out of jail free card that it is made out to be.

If you dont think baseball has been implicated by this what do you need? Executions? If we still watch/go to the games, buy the merchandise, etc then aren't we a big part of the problem? Do you think this will negatively effect attendance? I doubt it.

not to me but this is what really gets my goat. (cubs). Baseball was in the dumper after the strike and guys juiced up on HGH/ Steroids started a homerun derby and got everyone excited about baseball again.

Now baseball is feigning ignorance

I also think Congress is grasping at straws. They refuse to do what the people want and were hoping this would somehow distract us.

This is a totally divided nation.Congress is doing exactly what people want(to muzzle Geedubbya enough so he can't totally destroy the country.)Now,if you get rid of Nascartonia(Texas,OK.,LOUIS.,ARK.,MISS.,BAMA,TENN. ,GEORGIA,both Carolinas,the Florida Panhandle etc.,) then the Congress might be able to accomplish something.Don't expect to get much done with a conservative ideologue president,and a slim Democratic Majority in the House and the Senate.Just isn't going to happen.For the most part, this country will tread water until we divide it up into 2 parts.Those would be Nascartonia and America(Sans Hee-Haw.)
