The MLB announced today that they will no longer be testing players for steroids. This can only mean one thing and one thing only, the baseball we know and love is BACK BABY!! I honestly? I fell in love with baseball during the 1998 season, I think a lot of people did. McGwire and Sosa both chasing Roger Maris for the all-time single season home run record. It was amazing, these dudes went back and forth, channels would stop what they were showing just to show these guys at bats. I was always a huge Mark McGwire fan and I remember that season like it was yesterday, I even got to watch Big Mac's 62nd home run with my dad and it's a moment I'll never forget. I mean who doesn't like home runs? Everyone wants to see long bombs, chicks dig the fuckin long ball for christ sakes. I mean sure Barry Bonds was kind of a douche but he was one of the greatest baseball players of all-time and he won't be in the hall of fame because of steroids? Fuck that
Just think of the possibilities, we could have some dude come out of nowhere next year ala Brady Anderson and hit 65 fucking home runs, then never hear from him again. But just imagine in 20 years you can sit there drinking with your buddies and be like "Hey you guys remember that year Chris Brenderson hit 69 home runs? What the fuck ever happened to him?" Then you can all wonder what happened to Chris and laugh about the fact he hit 69 home runs. We can have some random guy from Venezuela on the mound throwing absolute gas. Imagine someone like my guy Pete Alonso, he's already crushing bombs.....imagine him with a little juice in him? He'll go out and hit 90 home runs next year. Now on the opposite side of the coin I think someone like Aroldis Chapman who hits his wife and shoots guns at her, probably shouldn't take steroids, last thing we need is that piece of shit becoming more unhinged. Really though, isn't this what we all want? We all want our athletes modified like they're a fucking creat a player on MLB The Shower. I want this guys power attributes set all the way up to 99. Sure the side effects of steroids are well know and it can be a pretty dangerous slope. But don't be that guy who acts like they give a shit about the athletes on their team, he's not your buddy or your family. As Sonny once said "Mickey Mantle don't care about you so why should you care about him? Nobody cares". So in the end, nobody cares, juice them the fuck up!
