It was a valiant effort, but Alex Fraudriguez paying Brett Favre to announce his retirement yesterday just to get the spotlight off of his sorry hind end didn't work. It appears the vultures continue to circle over his prone body...

I was interested to hear Roy Oswalt's comments on this issue. He stated in so many words that as a professional baseball player who has not taken performance enhancing drugs, he feels cheated. He now can't be sure whether the teams he played for should have been in the playoffs and World Series and he's not sure whether his personal records would have been better if he had been facing players on a level field without PED's... He stated that it's simply not fair.

I'm now hearing several theories on the subject of baseball's records. Some are saying that every player implicated (whether actually proven to have used PED's or not) should be banned from the record books. Others think there should be two separate sets of record books, one for the pure players and one for the cheaters (my word not theirs)... Other's simply want to do the touchy / feely thing wishing to take the easy way out, forgive everyone and move on. I think you can tell what I think of that idea...

What do you folks think oughta happen to these guys that cheated? Anything?
