South 3rd & Driggs, Brooklyn

The lunch table brought the topic of baseball juicing to the fore, and so, without much further ado, the Ok Oh Opinion Machine rumbles to life, spewing forth its special brand of ill-formed exhaust.
1. I don't care. These guys are macho crazies who make lots of money playing a game. I don't care if they do well or do badly.
2. It is ridiculous that anyone would go to trial for perjuring themselves in relation to steroids. More than half the league seems to have been doping and just because you asked a few guys to spill the beans and they didn't, doesn't hold any water for me. Congress could have picked Alex Rodriguez to come and answer questions instead of Barry Bonds. Then he would be on the legal hot seat instead. But he isn't. Instead he is just catching a little flack while Bonds has to stare down the government. Ridiculous.
3. Every record and stat champ for the last 15 years ought to be struck from the books. The system was broken for at least that long. Sorry guys who didn't juice, that MVP award was given by a league that was cheating. Sorry clean batting champ, that average was compiled in a cheating league. Sorry home run guy, the whole league was bust. You play in it, you live with it.
4. Fantasy baseball is still fun. This may fall under the I don't care section, but really, I don't. Fantasy baseball is a blast. Juice or no.
5. Hilarious.
