McGwire Comes Clean And Fesses Up...HE CHEATED BIGTIME

Single season home run "king" (I use that term very loosely) Mark McGwire came clean yesterday and told us what we all knew in the first place. Here are some snippets for his Sunday interview with Bob Costas. I guess this took courage to finally open up but I have no compassion for him, none at all. Five years ago while under oath he had a chance to do just what he did yesterday, but nooo. Here he is in his own words...

“I wish I had never touched steroids. It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era. I never knew when,’’ he said, “but I always knew this day would come. It’s time for me to talk about the past and confirm what people have suspected. After all this time, I want to come clean,’’ he said. “I was not put in a position to do that five years ago in my Congressional testimony, but now I feel an obligation to discuss this and to answer questions about it. I’ll do that, and then I just want to help my team.’’

Why did he do it? Why did he say he was "not put in a position" to come clean when he appeared before Congress and SWORE TO TELL THE TRUTH? TOTAL BS. He continues his confession...

“During the ’90s I went to the DL seven times and missed 228 games over five years,’’ he explained in his statement. “I experienced a lot of injuries, including a ribcage strain, a torn left heel muscle, a stress fracture of the left heel, and a torn right heel muscle. It was definitely a miserable bunch of years, and I told myself that steroids could help me recover faster. I thought they would help me heal and prevent injuries, too.’’

He obliterated Roger Maris' home run record of 61 in 1998. Was he using steroids in 1998? OH YES. Here you go...

“I used them on occasion throughout the ’90s, including the 1998 season.

Anyone with vision could tell his body was bloatedly muscled. Hey, one plus one is two...it was that obvious. Case closed. The single season home run record should have a monstrously HUGE asterisk next to it if not right on TOP of it. I doubt the Baseball Hall of Fame will allow him into their halls. I sure hope not. He's an outcast who turned himself into a muscle-bound freak of nature, able to bash baseballs to another time zone. The bottom line? HE CHEATED. PERIOD. Case closed for me. What do you think? I'd love to know. Comment if you can, click on the title of this post for more on Mr. McGwire and as always, BE WELL. Thanks for reading me.
