give me a fuckin' break.

We've got gasoline at $3.25 a gallon, oil at $91 a barrel, the dollar in a freefall, the real estate market world wide (especially in the US) is in a funk, Iran is probably within a rat's ass of a fat nuclear arsenal, and we've got our fucking Senators holding committee meetings about the use of steroids in baseball.

I don't care if they're shooting juice into their eyeballs. I don't care if high school kids are swayed to steroid use by the huge biceps of their favorite major leaguer. I don't care what the hell is going on in the game, IT'S A GAME.

Sure it's important, and I want the steroids gone, but damn... let the market decide. If Major League Baseball doesn't get the 'roids under control, and the fans lose interest in the game because of it, MLB will either fold or they'll figure out that they're losing fans because of steroids and they'll fix shit. If the fans don't bail out due to steroids, then who gives a shit if MLB confronts the issue?

The Senate should be spending its time on shit that matters, not whether or not Johnny Badass got a slight advantage on a 2-2 count because he shot HGH.

Seing as MLB has been totally unable to do something about the problem i think it's about time someone else took care of it, and yes it is just a game so why the need to cheat ?

Is it really healty for the sport to have youngsters looking up to steroid addicts ?

And MLB is not alone ...

Trust me, you do not want High Schoolers taking the roids because they want to look like Bonds or Giambi. Bad, very bad things happen if you don't take them in a well controlled manner.

Well, the difference is mostly taxes that you use for your social programs. Give those up and you can pay less for gas.

$ 3.25 a gallon means $ 0.85 a liter; I pay € 1.479 a liter which means € 5.6 or $ 8.32 a gallon.

Give me a fuckin' break, indeed.

We also stopped invading other countries, that sure helps to stop the spending.

No. It's big business. And a bad image means less income. So senators try to regulate something. To the benefit of the sport or the people? No, to the benefit of the companies involved (media, teams, etc).

Some perspective. The Euros are not posting what they pay for gas so the US should also pay the same amount.

Just remember what we pay and be GRATEFUL you're still getting your gas dirt cheap in comparison to the rest of the us.

It's not "just" a game. It's a multi billion dollar business. It is serious. That is why PED's must be adressed.
