And corking is illegal, however, it is not against A FEDERAL LAW, whereas, a vast majority of the steroids are banned in this country. So the players are literally breaking the law when they use steroids.

When they use steroids that are banned by law, then they're breaking it. I'm not sure I'd agree on vast majority, but since I have no real evidence then what the hell. I could be way wrong.

So don't play as if corking a bat is just as bad as illegally using drugs to enhance your game.

And no Giambi isn't the only one juiced, BUT his juicing affected the outcome of a game or 2 and therefore enhanced the Yanks chances to advance in the playoffs.

A game or two that you saw. This snippit here is remarkably shallow. Saying "but his juicing effected the outcome of a game or 2" is almost futile, hell, you could even say it's blatantly obvious ...... but that's the case with any steroid using slugger, is it not?

I'm just saying MLB needs to test more than just once a year and "random players" ....

Well, if they really want roids out (which would mean less money for them), they could do a much better job. Period.

MLB is teaching kids that they can take illegal steroids, hit a ball a mile and make millions. It's BS and I hope Congress demands weekly or monthly testing of all players and anyone caght using faces prison time and/or lifetime bans from the game on the 1st positive test. Time to clean up the sport.

Actually, a deeper lesson would go something like this:
"MLB is teaching kids that you can make a very profitable business by exploiting players by letting them enhance themselves to hit more dingers and get more people tuned in"
.. but I digress. You could go on and on about the "they're teaching kids this" BS for hours on end.

There was a scandal in 1919 that plagued the integrity of the game.... this will make that one seem lame when all this is over and done... and this time there is noone named Ruth to save the game as there was in the 20's.

Yeah, someone may end up coming back and saving the game. For all I know, he might as well be using steroids - and if he does, I don't blame him one bit.
