This whole Giambi - Steroids thing is an absolute joke.

Major League Baseball wants to suspend a guy for saying he did the juice, even though he has never failed a steroids test. That's like sentencing a man to death for saying he shot John F. Kennedy, even though you have no evidence. You have no concrete proof, so how can you try to suspend someone? If they are going to do it that way, then Barry and Sheffield should get the ban too. I mean they admitted that they took something, albeit unknowingly. But even if you don't know what you took, you still took it, and that should be a suspension, No?

Bud Selig is the biggest joker in American sports. He and his owners knew what was going on the whole time, in regards to McGwire, Brady Anderson, etc. and did nothing about it. The strike threatened to send baseball the way of Horse Racing (a fringe sport). Once they saw the guys hitting all these homeruns, and subsequently the fan reaction to them, there was no way Bud and the boys were gonna mess up a good thing. Too much money to lose.

But now, when Congress calls him in to testify and to scold him, he all of a sudden gets a backbone. On Capitol Hill, Selig sounded like those parents on talk shows who act to stop their children's wild behavior, but only after being yelled at and chastised by someone else. Once the bully on the pulpit gives him a kick in the ####, Bud now wants to be Mr. Law and Order.

He all of a sudden sees that steroids are bad for his players, though not necessarily bad for ticket sales. Now he wants to hire George Mitchell and have his little witch hunt party, in hopes of taking down Barry Bonds before he breaks Aaron's record. To me it's too little, way too late. Bud doesn't really want the players to talk, because there is alot of dirt on the shoes of MLB and the owners.

As a Yankee fan, I actually hope they void Giambi's contract, so he can tell us all what a bad boy George Steinbrenner has been in this whole situation. Remember, George signed Sheffield after the 2003 season, and even after the BALCO trial, you never heard any threats to void Sheffield's deal. But Jason Giambi, because he isn't hitting 40 homers, must go for his "admission". Bullcrap!

And I wish Jason Giambi the best. I've liked his play since he was an Athletic. He seemed very cool and comfortable in his own skin in Oakland, a bonafide leader and star. When he came to the Yankees, I was glad, though I was a little upset about losing a rival like the A's. He has given us his all, played hurt, been a postseason performer. The guy was and still is one of my favorite Yankees, no matter what transpired. I hope that he gets a chance to tell his story, and let the fans know who the real villians of the steroids era really are.

Because my fellow bloggers, let me ask you this:

Who is worse: The drug dealer, the junkie, or the cop who takes the bribe to not bust the drug deals?

Let me know your thoughts.
