It's not like at some level I didn't know this was the truth, but I have to say that this particular news disappoints me than all the others that came before. Sammy made going to Cubs games just that much more fun, even before '98.
Truly a sad day in Cubs, MLB and sports history.

Sammy may be in stripes again soon...for lying under oath to Congress.
LOL..With 101 names left on that secret report, roids in baseball is here to stay for a long time.
Sosa, "Me no travel to USA no more...me not understand English good no way. My English got mixed up, I thought they meant sterilize, like when bad men cut your cajones off...me no like that, I never do that. Can you repeat question, por favor?"

Pandora's box has been opened, it's time to dump out it's contents and let the chips fall where they may. As parents we hide presents even after the "Santa conspiracy" is fleshed out by the kids. Why? because there's nothing worse than the tease of a present sitting in front of you that is off limits. Before long we start shaking the box, tearing off bits of paper to see the label, guessing the contents, being lied to by the gift giver, and when that magical day comes the unwrapping becomes anti-climatic and the gift loses it's intended "WOW factor" and many times sits in the closet unused.
I look at that "secret report" as a gift to the baseball fan.
Come on Santa Selig let me open my present. Quit teasing me and lets get it over with
btw- there are only 190 shopping days til Xmas
Simply put: I am sick of hearing about it.
Release the whole list or stop "leaking" names.
We know; a LOT of players took steroids. Move on!

Geez Louise, who saw that coming?
It never crossed my mind Sosa was doing anything illegal when he went from a .250 hitter with 41 homers in his first six years and turned into a slugger. 
I was thinking maybe Brady Anderson gave him hitting lessons.

Like one other person said in a post: Holy cow! Are you serious? Next they'll tell us the sun rises in the East and sets in the West!
I agree. Release every name ever caught. Give them amnesty. Make strict rules testing for everything. Warn the players. From that point forward suspend them for a season or more. Second offense: lifetime ban.quote:Originally posted by fsmjunior:

Is Sammy even liable to things he said to our congress? He isn't a citizen. Maybe if he stays away he would never be extradited for something so small.
Perjury is not a small matter, and criminal prosecutions are not limited to citizens.
If the reports are true, he's in trouble. I don't see a whole lot of difference between his situation and those of Bonds and Clemens really, so why prosecute the first two but not Sammy? Because he was a happier persona?

Yeah..They seem to be content leaking these names out in drips and drabs with Selig Santa holding out.
They can't put the sh1T back in the donkey so they may as well get it over with and release all the names.
Personally, I think it's up to the Players to own up to the fact that they used PED's.
Right or wrong, just say it and get it over with.
It should start with Arod, Manny, and whomever past or present.
Stand up and take it like a man.
You'll feel better when you take your medicine and and come clean.
And Bud still just doesn't get it.
It will go away a lot faster if they would do that, and man up.
Get it off your conscience, you will feel better about yourself.
JMHO
