LameList!

 From yesterday’s Wall St. Journal,  a tidbit from their panel on “The Future of Sports,” Bud Selig, Commissioner of Baseball, on steroid use in baseball (bold for emphasis is mine):

I’ve had one writer after another come to me and say over the past decade, “I don’t know how they expected you to know. I was in the clubhouse every day.” And it wasn’t that I didn’t want to know. Or that I was in denial. I merely just didn’t know. So, if you’re sitting up in your office somewhere, how did people think you or others would know? When we didn’t know. And I don’t really think they were in denial. I think — I say this very candidly — in the retrospective history, it’s always easy 10, 15, 20 years later to tell somebody, “You should have known.” It isn’t only the steroid thing. It’s in anything in life. Whether it’s in political issues or foreign affairs or anything else. You can look back 15 or 20 years later and be awfully smart.

What a lame, bureaucratic attitude and excuse. No leadership. No accountability.  

Get out of your cushy office for once, Bud. 

Today, we learn that Manny Ramirez Is Banned for 50 Games after testing positive for a banned substance. This past week brought us news from a forthcoming book from a Sports Illustrated reporter that Alex Rodriquez may have used steriods in high school and as a Yankee despite his repeated denials.

Here are some funny images of the juiced athletes.  Might as well laugh at it. That the steriods thing has been going on for so long in baseball is pathetic.
