[QUOTE="Gauntlet, post: 988243, member: 545529"] So what you're saying is, people should put themselves in the shoes of someone who broke the law to try and understand why they would lie about it? And that somehow makes it alright or something? It's pretty simple man, they broke the rules and are trying to cover their *****. You don't have to think of it from the viewpoint of someone who gets paid millions to play baseball to understand it. They wouldn't find themselves in such a position if they abided by the rules of their employer. And the fans are responsible for players being able to make such ridiculous salaries by paying entirely too much for tickets/food and drinks at the game, buying merchandise, watching them on TV, etc. etc. It's our business just as much as it is the MLB's. Especially in the case of Giambi, where his steroid use resulted in all those weird diseases he had last year and, the few times he played, was miserable. With that being said, I can't root for Giambi. Not because of the steroids, but because he's just a douchebag. [/QUOTE]
