Baseball Roundtable Thing

by Geoff Young on March 3rd, 2008

The good folks at Two guys who, like, never agree recently invited me to participate in a roundtable discussion. Other panelists included John Brattain, Craig Calcaterra, Connor Doyle, Colin Laisure-Pool, Voros McCracken, Jason Rosenberg, Justin St. Germain, and Pete Toms.

There’s lots of good stuff in here, but one of my favorite bits is Brattain’s riff on the current state of affairs regarding PEDs:

Back in 2000, I got to work the inside of major league clubhouses for the first time. I was surprised at how many guys looked suspiciously like roiders (I have known a great many users in my lifetime). It was obvious even to a hack like me. However, the media was fearful of the players and of losing their access. I can understand this, but surely you can tip off some investigative journalist about the situation rather than remain mute.

Now that others blew the lid off the story, they’’ve become Rambo-like tough guys protecting the game from the dirty rotten cheaters. Give me a break; they were as complicit as the owners, the union and everyone else. They have no right to scream about protecting the sanctity of the game.

Yup…
