"All of these things are just like the other..."

 




...None of these things, really belong."

In the Hall of Fame, or on a medal platform. Do they?

Cheating is cheating...or is it?  

Hey, there's long been a lot of cheating in the Olympics, although you gotta hand it to the Russians, who have always been pioneers there. 

Pretending their athletes were amateurs, likely bribing a certain basketball referee and a whole lotta gymnastics and skating judges.  Introducing steroids—apparently captured along with Nazi scientists, who used to feed them by the bushel to soldiers. 

(Yep—the Wehrmacht was juicing.  That's why they made them give back Poland. What, too soon?)

In any case, I can feel a little sympathy for the 15-year-old Russian skater, who probably had a choice between taking whatever she was given and a nice winter place somewhere near Irkutsk, than I can for these full-out adults who managed to scam their way into Cooperstown.

What I really want to know, though, is what's wrong with the baseball writers of America. 

I mean, those international officials who made the latest lunatic ruling in favor of Ms. Valieva—if she does get a medal, no medal ceremony even for the other people who win, right, makes a lot of sense—are no doubt doing this because they're paid off up the fabled Wazoo.

I mean, why do you become an international sports official, unless it's to clean up on the old payola?

The baseball writers, on the other hand, decided to reward known juicers just because they were nice to them in the clubhouse.

What a bunch of chumps. Though really, in the modern age of sports, aren't we all chumps now?

Truly, juicers just suck.
Even Yankee juicers.
Big Poopie was a flameout destined to return to the Island from whence he came until he discovered The Juice.
And, he still could not find a position on the field.
Now, apparently, he is a national treasure because he smiles at everyone.

I'll take Ty Cobb over this d-bag. At least Ty told you straight up what he thought.
Poopie is just a phone POS whose opinion lacks value.
I have never watched a broadcast in which he is speaking. I just turn the channel til the game starts.

You tell 'em, Archangel. I'm too tired of all the bullshit to do it.

The big, juicing poppy got more hitter friendly ball-strike calls than all the other hitters in the major leagues put together. There were many times when he took a half swing or even a two-thirds swing, and the stupid umpires would say "no swing". I cannot recall ever seeing him get pumped out on a half swing. He would have to take a full swing or at least 7/8 swing to get called out.
