Bud Selig welcomed the Steroid Class of 2009, with all his usual enthusiasm, so while crickets continue to chirp at the office of the commissioner, let's take a look at America's favorite pasttime, figuring out who are the real bums of baseball.  We have more suspects than an Agatha Christie novel and no matter how many times Bud Selig polishes the ol' baseball apple, worms just keep popping out.

The exact moment needles, filled with illegal performance enhancing drugs, replaced Mom, Apple Pie & Ice Cream is in dispute though all evidence points to the late Eighties.  At first nobody seemed all that bothered a player like Lenny Dykstra added 45lbs. of muscle in an offseason, when his hardest workout consisted of lifting a six-pack. 

Then there was the whole home-run-fueled

Here's how I call the strike zone on MLB's GM's what say you?  

1.  Theo Epstein, Cream of the crop, top o' the heap, Beantown should worship him as a god...
   2.  Billy Beane, the McGuyver of GM's, Oakland is not worthy...
   3.  Ned Colletti, Turned the sad sack Dodgers back into a contender, where's the Ned-lywood section in the bleachers?

How many freaking lefties do they need in the rotation, and when Pedro is called up you're going to send Happ or Moyer to the bullpen?  How about send Pedro instead.  

What a shortsighted astronomically stupid trade.  Worst trade ever.

Now we have to live with the catcrappiest trade since Von Hayes...

4 of your top 10 prospects?

Amaro is an Ed Wade class dolt.

Ask yourself this question would Mike Arbuckle make this trade?

I'm glad a a federal judge got right what NASCAR seems recklessly unaware of, that taking Claritan D, which contains antihistamines will result in a false positive for methamphetimines.  That is a conclusion supported by every ounce of data you can find searching the internet.  A monkey with a typewriter at NASCAR could have pointed this out.

Did any of his crew notice him riding the crystal meth train to oblivion?  Did they have anecdotal evidence like a family member or friend say, "Bless his heart he's a good man but when he powders his nose he'd steal your TV set for another bump of the devil's dandruff..."   

Why has NASCAR been so recalcitrant in understanding this?  If this had been Dale Jr., Smoke, or Jimmie, NASCAR wouldn't have batted an eye and
