McGwire Ball Juiced!

I'm sorry guys, I know I said no baseball talk until April, but I'm about fed up with people.

In this article, some morons in the medical field are saying that the ball that Mark McGwire hit his 70th homer with was juiced (or rubber, meaning it would travel further with less force).

Okay, now, I'm not getting into the whole "Did Big Mac use steriods or not" argument because I think it's a moot point. Barry Bonds surpassed his record (yes, I know, he's been accused of using steriods too), so who the heck cares now? Granted, the man probably did take steriods, but I'd be willing to bet, several baseball players did. Anyway, my point is...when are they going to give up? When are they going to leave Mark McGwire alone?

And, which is it, was he juiced or was the ball juiced (or were they both juiced)? Why does there have to be a reason as to why he broke Roger Maris's Homerun record? Why couldn't he just have been talented enough to do so?

Let's just leave it alone already. I know he's up for HOF for the first time this year, but I'm going to assume he won't make it. His whole career has been tarnished by the Steriods scandal (which might I say that Jose Canseco annoys me - I can see writing a book about himself, but why bring other people into it? Arse!), so I can't imagine they'd vote him in on the first try. We'll see.

And, did it ever occur to anyone that homeruns aren't just about strength. It's about skill. A batter can't hit a homer if he doesn't have the hand-to-eye coordination or the skill to read the balls coming at him.

Now, I don't care to hear anyone's opinion on the Mark McGwire Steriods scandal (unless it's positive for him - jk), so keep those comments to yourself. I'm just posting because it irritates me that no one can leave this man alone. It's over, it's been said and done. Move on already.
