McGwire finally admits steroid use

Kind of like Eric Davis.

Eric Davis, who never weighed over 200 pounds in his playing career?

That was just cause of the cancer.

ass injections from Strawberry

Vance Law did not take roids!

He opted for magic underpants as his performance enhancing substance.

Sean Sherk was 155 pounds.  Hermes Franca was 155 pounds and had no muscle.
You cannot assume someone was not taking steroids just because how they look.  See other posts in this thread about Marathon runners.

OK, let me rephrase. Eric Davis, who never showed a bulk gain in weight during his entire playing career?

So of yous really have no clue when someone is being a smartass.

I honestly thought you were being serious.  I have always said that I wouldn't be surprised if Davis and Strawberry got thrown into all the steroid mix.  I hope that they didn't take them, but wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Straw took everything else, why would he draw the line at steroids?

[Big Hath]

because the line was made out of cocaine?

Oh Em Gee!  You are now numero uno on my list of funny things!!!!1

I think the most interesting thing to come out of this McGwire debacle is his contradictions with the Canseco stories...

He's admitted to juicing, so why wouldn't he agree with Canseco's story if it were true?  I don't think he has anything to gain or lose by agreeing with it, which makes me believe that Canseco is full of shit, which I guess isn't a big revelation.  But is does cast doubt on all of the others things he's said.

Also, in regards to the "some players just take them to heal" thing, Ken Caminiti admitted to doing steroids, and said he started taking them just so he could heal faster, but kept taking them for the extra power.  It's a fine line there.

I think McGwire was lying about steroids never being talked about in the locker room.  That would only lead to more questions about who talked about it so he lied.

Once again, people hate Canseco, but he's been proven right time after time

That's a good point.  I guess saying that does prevent all of the "who else" questions.

Still not sure why he couldn't own up to having Canseco inject him though...

I was a big fan of McGwire when he was with the Cardinals and I think he was/is a pretty good guy despite it all, but he is really fucking up this whole admission process.  Like people here have said, it is pretty ridiculous for him to claim that the steroids didn't help him hit home runs when by his own admission they help his body to heal, which keeps him on the field.  The fact that there was such a spike in power in the steroid era should be pretty clear evidence that they help you hit home runs.  That, and he is continually playing the "I'm just a nice guy who is here to say he is sorry (and by the way, it wasn't a big deal and didn't help me much) and did I mention how nice and sorry I am?" card.

[ryno]

he doesn't want to agree with Canseco's story because he's a fucking pussy.  He wants to be the guy who respects the game, gets his talent from god, takes roids, but only in low doses and such.  People are seeing right through his bullshit crying episode.

He could save himself a bunch of shit if he'd just say he took them, they made him stronger, he wishes he hadn't done it, and that's it.
