senate hearings.....

ok, so the senate hearings looking into steroid use amongst big league baseball players begin today.....with players supoenaed to testify without immunity about their knowledge of the epidemic........among those invited to tell what they know are sammy sosa and mark mcguire.....both bigtime hitters with bigtime records that might be asterixed if proved of drug use......and jose canseco will be there telling everything he's already published in his tell-all book........canseco claims to have injected mcguire himself....mcguire denies this.....so will mcguire plead the 5th amendment, lie,or tell the truth.......hmmm.....and will steroid use lead to the lifetime ban of anybody from baseball........i am passionate about the question of lifetime bans, given pete rose's situation....which is no more and no less like aggregious......betting on baseball versus cheating by use of enhancing drugs.......it shall be interesting, in the very least.....
