So Mark McGwire is again being accused of steroid use. This time by his estranged brother Jay McGwire in an attempt to boost publicity for his book. The only thing that comes to mind is NO SHIT. Anyone who has has seen pictures of the guy is fully aware of the fact he had some sort of chemical help. With forearms the size of an average mans' hamstrings Mark McGwire looked like a red headed Popeye in a Cardinals uniform. I once took batting practice with a bat modeled after the McGwire stick (38 inches and 35 ounces). Swinging it isn't the problem, stopping it, however, is another story. After picking myself up and dusting myself I put another tally mark under the Mark McGwire is full of shit and roided out of his mind column. The only reason this is a story is because of McGwire's failure to answer questions regarding his steroid use while testifying before Congress. He pretty much made a fool of himself during the hearing and would have been better off just saying "You know what? I did use steroids, but everybody's doing it". Which I remind you everyone was. Clemens, Sosa, Giambi, etc.
No worries though McGwire. Atleast you had your moment in the sun. Oh yea, and your rich.

i agree, look at andy and giambi who confessed. i have the utmost respect for them biting the bullet and being honest about it. you'd be surprised what happens when you are honest with people. if they were all on steroids wouldn't they all be on the same playing level, im not supporting steroids but if two guys on steroids are playing basketball with each other, isn't that the same as two guys who aren't on steroids playing basketball, except the net might catch on fire. absolutely, yes sir, indeed, that's right.
