Mark McGwire Needs to Tell the Truth
He retired from the game just before the Steroid Era came to light. While he previously denied illegal performance enhancing drug use, those denials stopped when under penalty of perjury.

A modern fan can never trust that he or she is watching an honestly competitive game, nor that the statistical records that the baseball fan closely follows are even remotely legitimate.

Exhibit number one obviously is Barry Bonds, who in 1991, at age 27, hit 25 home runs, and in 2001, age 37, whacked 73.

Manny grabbed the headlines for a day. It drew solemn pledges from MLB officials to do whatever it takes to end the cheating. And just as quickly the Manny flap will blow over.

So long as the home crowd pays to see Alex Rodriguez, baseball can delude itself into believing that all is good in the world.

Presidents Lincoln and Obama notwithstanding, aren't we supposed to grade Illinois politicians on a curve? They get an asterisk next to their names like steroid-filled baseball players.

Instead of imaginative prosecutors stretching the law to go after stupid lies in hotel rooms, baseball should take strong, decisive, and immediate action to clean up the game.

Steroids...will make you so strong,/ Steroids...will help you last long,/ Steroids...they'll do you no wrong,/ And as easy to swallow as to sing this song.

We don't care if the bonecrushing behemoths of the gridiron build themselves up to the size of rhinos, but when we find out some baseball player has been using, we act like we've just lost our virginity.

When I first made my way into Major League clubhouses in 2003, it was easy to see the effects of performance-enhancing drugs. Most reporters suspected guys were on something, but hey, there were games to cover.

Yes, Mark McGwire's career total of 583 home runs is impressive. But by every other measure, he falls short. Way short. There's his anemic .263 lifetime batting average, and his measly 1,626 hits.

The feds have given Barry Bonds every chance to recant what he said to Congress, cut a deal and see what he'd get. He has fought it every step of the way.

The economy's in the toilet, your 401(k) is worth as much as Neifi Perez's autograph, and the White Sox are still playing while the Cubs are scheduling tee times in Scottsdale.

Finally, McCain's logo makes sense to me. That's no star. It's an asterisk! And an appropriate one -- every day, he makes a claim about his record that needs an asterisk next to it.

Bonds remains the worst nightmare of MLB, not because he juiced up, but because when we watch him play we remember that the people who run MLB ignored the steroids issue while it was profitable to do so.
