No Such Thing as an Offseason

Wow.
That is all I have to say after a huge day in the Major League Baseball world. I spent all day at school wondering who I would find on the Mitchell Report that afternoon.
Some names, Bonds, Vaughn, Canseco, Ja. Giambi, for example, were no surprise to me, but some of the names on that list completely blew me out of the water. Basically the whole Orioles starting lineup was on the list, along with players who aren't even great "superstars", or players I have never even heard of. The ones that probably surprised me the most were Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, two of (who I thought) were a couple of the hardest working players in baseball. Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez also floored me. I just find it hard to believe that such a hard working player with a background from a third-world life, would result to using performance-enhancing drugs. Why can't people just be happy with their God-given talent and luxurious lives they had before trying to up their game. It just goes to show that humans beings are never content with what they have. Everything always has to be better, and we are willing to do anything to acheive it.
So now for the aftermath. What happens to all these players, esp. the ones who are still active in baseball? I guess we will find that out shortly.
The thing about this whole mess that I get the biggest kick out of is that A-Rod is still the best all around player in the country, and probably the world, and has never injected himself with anything. See steroiders, success can be achieved with a little thing called HARD WORK! Steroid users are just a bunch of over-paid couch potatoes who are too lazy to work for what they want, so they just decide they will cheat. YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT!
