How come the investigation for Mark Mcguire has died down? And what ever happend to Sammy Sosa after baltimore
610448
MLB realizes that they're in a mess with this whole steriod thing, which includes both McGwire and Sosa. They're trying to be hush-hush as much as possible and hope it will go away. But with Bonds now chasing the all-time HR record, that's not gonna happen.

I am pretty sure you are thinking of Corey Patterson...he played CF though.  Sosa was in RF for many years, then Jeromy Burnitz was in RF last year.  If Corey Patterson is not who you are thinking of, then I have no idea who else it could be?  They look VERY similar if you look at their photos on Yahoo.  Check it out.

No, Sosa doesn't deserve the honor because looking at his sudden body growth in the mid-90s, it's obvious he was using as much as Bonds or McGwire.\n\nBut the record won't come down because it was established before steroids were illegal in baseball, so there would be no grounds ... no rules were broken that were in effect at that time.

lets see . He is a cheater and a liar . I feel that it does not matter what you did before you cheated .once you have been caught  you should have to step up and be a man ,and take your punishment . the steroids years have hurt baseball how are fans going to be able to trust the players  anymore. I know that no one is perfect but the real reason  behind all of this is greed and jealousy. bonds could not stand by and let sosa and mark get all the attention, they were cheating and people loved them and he thought that if they can do it so can he. well guess what now they are all in the dog house .there is NO WAY that any of them make the HALL of FAME . so let bonds break the record it will alway be tanted and it will be all he has from baseball. long live the memory of  and hank aaron  and roger's 61

The rumor has it that he is back with the girlfriend that broke up with him the night of the Giants game in which he started the 2nd half.  After he was announced as the starter, she was back.  Funny thing eh?

Probably there was a quiet, behind the scenes investigation, and either the charges were groundless, or MLB is waiting for one big moment to expose them all and get the shame over with in one big swoop.\n\nAgreed??

Rumors are starting to heat up about the Answer departing.  Names I've heard include Telfair, Wally Szczerbiak and draft picks.  Still no word yet but everything is under wraps, still.

I think he used steroids back from 1998 through 2002.  I think just to be fair, they should wipe out his records from those years.  And Sammy Sosa may never play baseball again, from what i heard was he retired.

I agree w/ the HGH rumors swirling around Pujols.  The size of that guy's head is huge!  The timing of Grimsley's uncovering & Puj's injury seem like a coincedence, huh?\n\nI'd love to be wrong about this, but baseball players have proved me right soooo many times now.  Yeah, we do need players like Pujols as long as they're clean.  Major League Baseball needs major drug testing that includes a blood test for HGH.\n\nCheaters!!  Stop ruining our game!!\n\n(Oh yeah, the major cop-out has poked its ugly head out...  "he's not white"... give me a break.  Se_Roddy, you're the scumbag for using that old crutch.  I don't give a damn about the race/religion/ethnicity of a player.  Just don't cheat!  I sincerely hope Pujols is not cheating, but in this climate you're guilty until proven innocent and NOBODY except baseball players themselves can be blamed for this mess.  As an intelligent fan of baseball, shame on you if you're not questioning every single one of these guys because it's more than just Jason Grimsley & David Segui that are/were doing it...)

You're comparing apples to oranges. Pete Rose broke the cardinal rule of baseball - Thou Shall Not Bet on Baseball - and was banned for life. His name isn't even on the ballot. He should NEVER be elected into the HOF. As for Sammy and the rest of the steroid crowd, MLB was complicit in this scandal by turning a blind eye to it's use until the public/press rightfully brought it to the forefront. It's illegal now and anyone who gets caught now should never get into the HOF (i.e. Rafeal Palmerio.) Even though we all suspect Sammy used, he was never caught. Innocent until proven guilty.\n\nThat said, based on numbers alone, Sammy should and will get in. It's only a matter of when he'll get in. I won't be surprised if the writers refuse to elect him and the Veteran's committee puts him in later.\n\nAnd the corked bat is a non-issue. Gaylord Perry is in the Hall and that guy had vaseline dripping from his cap.

He's been around forever - his rookie year was 20 years ago with the Pirates.  He's been an All-Star several seasons now, and has quite a few Gold Gloves.  I have a bunch of cards of him in my album.  I don't like that he has been taken out of the lineup, but everybody has to go sometime - retire, I mean, and he has expressed his intent to retire at the end of this season.

OK...\n\nI knew I had seen something about this before.  I found a transcript from a CNN story telling about a story that would appear that evening on the show Newsnight (Aired December 3, 2002 - 22:00 ET).  I can't find a transcript online. \n\nApparently Whitey and William Bolger were doing very different things at the same time.  Whitey, it appears, was a gangster, head of "the Irish Mob," while William was "a power broker" and president of The University of Massachusetts in Boston.  \n\nI found this story about the Bolger Brothers online:\nhttp://www.goldtalk.com/discuspro/messages/100/13094.html?1060202038\n\n\nYou might be interested in these books:\nStreet Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Irish Mob \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1586420631/ref=pd_sl_ov_alx-jeb-8o-1_book_3312977_1/103-8380677-2077424?n=283155\n\nand\n\nPaddy Whacked : The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster \nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060590033/102-2800740-3915300?v=glance&n=283155\n\n\nYou may also want to check this broadcast on March 17th:\nhttp://wbai.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=5221&Itemid=42

He may very well be a cheater but he has yet to fail a drug test and quite frankly I am getting sick of everytime I turn on SportsCenter always hearing them talk about it.  I do believe that he knowingly took steroids but as I said before he has yet to fail a drug test and come on he is not the only guy out there juiced up.  Are you actually going to say that McGuire or Sosa didn't take steroids.  And we all know Sosa is a cheat and there are no * by his homeruns.\nTherefore I say he is just a chosen target of the media right now.

I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids. ESPN the Magazine just had a story about him with a picture of him in '93 and one of him recently. Same pose (stretching before going to bat with the bat over his head). He didn't even look like the same person. However, I'm still undecided on whether or not he was aware that he was using steroids. But, it seems to me that'd be kind of hard not to realize that you're getting that much bigger that fast. On the other hand, you still have to have some talent and hand-eye coordination to make contact with the ball. So, it's not like steroids were the only thing that have propelled him to third all-time in HRs. There's talent there, too. But, I love the Giants and I love watching Barry play. I'm glad he's so close to the HR second place record and I hope he breaks Ruth's second place record and comes back again next year. His agent said that he expects him to return next year, just not sure for what team...be a DH in the AL or continue to play for the Giants? I think everyone should just lay off him, though, and let the man play baseball...for goodness sakes' it's just a sport...and, Ruth and Mantle, etc. weren't all exactly saints either...

Albert Connell, out of the NFL since he allegedly stole money from Deuce McAllister, wants another chance. ... His name is Albert Connell. Yes, the Albert Connell that recently signed a deal with the Calgary Stampeders ... He's also the Albert Connell who was never convicted of any wrongdoing ...\n\nhttp://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0Je5rmB9yFEMYkAidtXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE2ZnM2ajRqBGNvbG8DdwRsA1dTMQRwb3MDNQRzZWMDc3IEdnRpZANCMTAwXzc5/SIG=12360i89t/EXP=1143163137/**http%3a//espn.go.com/nfl/s/2003/0609/1565233.html

G'day Fistoflegend22,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThe signing of Alfonso Soriano looks a good one albeit he is expensive. The best evidence of how good the offseason has been is how well they play next season.\n\nRegards
