The New York Post today splashed on page one that Sammy Sosa FLUNKED a drug test in 2003 ..yet another baseball player idolized by many, was caught with his pants down and his sleeves up, taking a banned substance.

It seems that when Jose Cansesco wrote "JUICED", the book that blew the lid off the Steroids in Baseball issue, every baseball player he mentioned in that book opened mouth and rode the river of Denial and blasted Jose right and left, calling him more rotten names than was published in the dictionary..Then came the big steriod hearings and Baseball's best came to the hill and did their denial including Raferio Palmero who said that famous clinton-esque line "I NEVER EVER TOOK STEROIDS!" then 3-4 months later, with his head between his legs admitted "I TOOK STEROIDS"..meanwhile Mark McGuire stood silent and like Barry Bonds remained silent.

Since then the mitchell commission made their findings known, and yes there were 102 + baseball players who used steroids, most if not all were also named in Jose's book.. since then Cansesco has gone from Baseball Pariah, to being now being more villified for opening up pandoras box to the world.

Now while Bonds, McGuire and Sosa await their tickets to Cooperstown, the fans and sportswriters have spoken loudly , HELL NO! meanwhile one man who all fans are VERY vocal about, still sits to take his well deserved place in Cooperstown.

See, while Pete Rose finally admitted his error of gambling, he is STILL to this day BANNED from even going to cooperstown, while the hall of fame continues to open their doors to men who openly cheated their way to greatness by using substances that made their muscles grow but shrunk their own personal bats,granted some baseball players never did the roids, others did and that taint STILL to this day stains the great game and with a weak commish who is afraid of the steroidish muscle of a the players union, wil their ever be someone with the balls to say to these zillion dollar jerks "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, YOU DO THE CRIME...YOU DO THE TIME".

So they lose a few million sheckles and endorsement deals, big deal, that is the risk you take when you take the sleazy way out, while some players still believe that work hard and live clean makes you even a bigger success.

Meanwhile, its the fans that hurt the most when their favorite player finally admits that yes he did steroids, while one man,Pete Rose whos only crime was gambling is still banned from baseball, yet his name continues to be mentioned by true Baseball fans who want him to be inducted in cooperstown.

Let history show that while one man admitted he gambled and is sorry about it , he only lost money ..never pride! while those who use steriods and other banned substances gamble away something else more precious than a record or a trophy...their health and life.

Let Pete Rose in the Hall Of Fame, and then build a special exhibit for those who went the sleazy way to break records once thought unbreakable, and you can call it the Barry Bonds/Mark McGuire asterisk hall of fame.

And if you dont agree, then you're no worse than Keith Olbermann's Diaper changer

It's like reading "WAR AND PEACE" while you tinkle in the mensroom stall..

So, Sarah Palin is pissed at David Letterman for a joke about her daughter, and she does have a right to be, the joke was indeed tasteless..but now, so is the continued publicity by Govenour Palin herself.

While it wasnt right for Dave to do a joke about Gov. Palin's Daughter Willow, HOWEVER..In forsight Its not right for YOU Govenour Palin to use the media to attack David Letterman with your own bullying tactic..

And why did you "ramp it up" as it were..simple to help you in your quest for the 2012 Presidential campaign, you and your people can deny it, but the signs are there, and using a "feud" to underscore it is not only in bad tatste itsself, but also really dirty.

And instead of blaming Letterman, how about blaming his writers for writing that joke, after all isnt that old saying "dont blame the messenger?"

Granted Dave and his writers do need to appologize to all women, but Gov. Palin , you of all people should appologize as well for your actions in all this .

and if you dont agree, then your no worse than Olbermann's 18 year old girlfriend
