Big Mac Finally Admits to Steroid Use

[LOTRFan]

It was a little bit of both.


It is all just so hypocritical of baseball to lambast any of these sluggers, they sure didn't mind while they were putting asses in the seats --- at the expense of what the players were putting in their asses.

 

[Kabukiman]

This dude is about as douchey as douches come. First, he waits to see how he fares in HoF voting. Then, he admits to doing steroids, but only for "health purposes."

I can't wait until I hear "the best fans in baseball" tell us all how steroid use is no big deal and their records aren't tainted in the least.

i think Einstein could best sum up his admitting this.............

 

[agen_kolar]

No surprise from me.

I will only feel culpable if you start singing the Big Mac song.

FOR KARAMOZOV

 

[karamazov80]

I guess I will have to learn that for next time I get one.

There was another McDonald's jingle I vaguely remember from when I was a kid, where they fit the entire menu into a song. I think they included the little record in the newspaper.

Here's the Big Mac song I remember most, though:

Huh...I don't remember that...although I do remember the whole "Hold the Pickles/Hold the Lettuce/Special Orders don't upset us/All we want is that you let us/Have it your way...."

I think it's safe to say that Roger Maris is still the single season leader....all of the ones above him were 'roided up.

[d_jedi1]

Someone on facebook claimed that he did it for "sexual purposes"

I said
"What? His junk was too big and he needed to shrink it down?"

I've never understood how sports performance was more important than not having your balls shrivel up.

I can think of 25 million reasons why it is worth it.

What people fail to realize is the money these guys could lose, and to them it was about keeping there job and making alot of money.

Is it right?? No do I understand, Yes

 

[karamazov80]

Paraphrasing a guy on ESPN yesterday--let them keep their millions of dollars that steroids helped to give them. Even let them keep their records with asterisks, but don't give them recognition. The Hall of Fame should be completely unreachable for people who used steroids or other, steroid-like performance enhancers. It isn't fair to the people who earned it.

Too bad that people will be left out based on supposition instead of evidence (as it was re: McGuire until this week), but players have rightly lost the presumption of innocence at this point.

Along with Dale Murphy, McGwire was my favorite baseball player as a kid (in the late 80s/early 90s), as well. Sad to see his career remembered this way, but honestly, he probably wouldn't be remembered much at all if not for the steroids and the HR chase. For example, who the heck remembers Dale Murphy anymore?

I do actually, he and Don Mattingly seem like the two biggest HOF snubs at this point (as far has hitting is concerned).

 

[karamazov80]

I didn't even know Mattingly wasn't in. He was the man back in the 80s.

 

[Darthrazz]

I didn't even know Mattingly wasn't in. He was the man back in the 80s.

Mattingly's stats are almost identical to Kirby Puckett's(who is in the Hall of Fame), but Kirby won two World Series and Mattingly didn't.

 

[karamazov80]

The fact that winning a championship garners candidates so much attention in team sports like baseball and football is ridiculous. Neither the best QB in the history of football nor the best batter or pitcher in baseball are going to win squat without the right supporting cast around him.

If this were golf, wrestling, or tennis, then I would understand.
