I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Okay, I just got burned but you're only allowed to use that once.

That rule precedes writing itself. It's an ancient rule saying that "the burn must not be overused to prevent the burn itself from becoming lame."
BTW, my floormates give you a high-five.
And just so this totally doesn't get off-topic, I think the one escape baseball has is that it happened in 2003, right before everybody started cracking down. Plus, A-Rod wasn't a Yankee until the year after. So, while catastrophic, it's not as bad as it could be.

And that's the shame. What the young fellas above have written, reveals that ARod's cheating (that's what it was: cheating) lessens their respect, not only for the cheaters and their co-players, but also - because this news is seemingly so pervasive - leads them to disregard as irrelevant, the values of the game:
-past performance is an accurate indicator of future performance (for stats reviewers)
-power is good, but strategy harnessing power = win
-nuance comprehension is crucial
-rules matter.
If the next generation tosses these concepts for sport because some idiots misunderstood their roles, what will they (the next generation) do when it's life-or-death?
Cave in? Take the easier, quicker, drug-enhanced way out?
Cheese 'n Rice, what have they done to my sport?
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: A-Rod Tested Positive for 'Roids, SFTS World shattered.
That is a shame. I'm only a baseball fan in passing, that is to say I enjoy a good game but don't cheer for any one team.
I can only imagine the disappointment for all fans and baseball writers who were really looking to this guy to "take back" the HR record down the road.
