Gee, I'm shocked and dismayed! This is so very unlike professional athletes. And, there I thought every professional athlete was a shining example of sportsmanship and fair play. My "bubble is broken" due to this shocking revelation. The next thing you know they will say Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and even, gasp should I say it, Mark McGuire were "cheating through the miracle of drugs"! What is the world coming to these days. I AM SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF!

Hey, it's professional boreball...why is this news? Just another day in professional baseball...well, really all professional sports...yes, I am more than sure...even professional soccer, "the beautiful game". Dear me........

a-FRAUD, a-FRAUD, a-FRAUD, a-FRAUD.

I'm not surprised.

Never met the man, but he comes of as such an a-FRAUD.

Don't really care, but if he disappeared from the baseball scene, it would be a better game.

The guy always was a douche bag... Not suprised one bit, it was all covered up by baseball... Wow 2003... and its 2009, they did a good job keeping the lid on this idiot.

It amazes me how Bud Selig is still the commish of baseball... His salary by the way is between 14-16 million a year and he does what now, oh yes, ruin America's past time ....

Todat he admitted using steriods. He tried to pin it on the Rangers. He claims he was under alot of pressure to proform due to the contract he signed. Since when is there more pressure to perform in Texas than in New York. Last time I checked, he didnt exactly take a paycut in New York. Oh, and he had already played two seasons here before 2003 when he took them. Despite me distaste for A-roid, I was willing to give him another chance because he manned up and admitted use. But after hearing his "confession", he really wasn't being a man. He seemed more about placing blame. Pathetic.

I am shocked, SHOCKED that anyone has ever been under pressure to perform while playing for the Texas Rangers. Please inform me if they have ever won a divisional championship even. I agree with some snarky sports writer that they don't think they have to win because they're located next to Six Flags and that combination sells tickets as part of a family outing. I've been using the same joke for maybe 15 years and people still laugh at it the first 3 or 4 times they hear it: "What do the Texas Rangers Baseball Team and Michael Jackson have in common? They both wear a glove on their left hand for no apparent reason."

This all makes me suspicious of whether steroids lead to winning, this revelation that someone used them while playing with the Rangers. I gave up following the Rangers after they traded Sammy Sosa for five pitchers and a pinch hitter noone has heard from since; so please someone, inform me if I'm wrong and that they've been playing well in recent years.
