To the Big Bad Red Steroid Man

To you Mark Mcgwire, why are you back in baseball? Haven’t you shamed your name more than enough already? You were at one time one of the greatest home run hitters that ever lived. People started questioning you like they did with Barry Bonds, how did such a tiny guy become so big in such a short period of time? A lot of people have mixed feeling about you returning to baseball even if it is as a coach.
It seemed like a magical moment when you out ran Slamming Sammy Sosa in the home run battle with an added touch of family values, when the television showed you hit your 65th home run and there was your son at your side proud of what his dad accomplished. But was it fair to him not knowing that his beloved father was cheating at America’s favorite past time sport? I’ll tell you what; you really had a lot of people fooled when you hit that number 65. The steroid era was upon us but we were just too blind to notice it at the time until later. You should’ve known that when Jose Canseco would not shut his mouth after finding out that he wasn’t going to make the hall of fame and went for broke starting his not so popular line of clubs down in Miami Beach. So what does the biggest blabbermouth in all of baseball go and do, write a book about the things he went through in baseball. And after his tell all book accused you of using steroids and that Jose Canseco introduced you to them and that he names when, where, and how you used them is pretty concrete evidence because it is coming from a man how has nothing else to lose and needs to dish out dirt in order to make some money. After all that was said and done and a bunch of players came out about their use of steroids, you out right deny that you ever touched the stuff. Why would you lie in front of a congress hearing you big dummy, don’t you know they could throw your ass in jail?
After a long while of speculation on you using steroids from Jose Canseco, I am glad you got some sense knocked into your brain and that you came out and said “Yes I used steroids during the highlight of my baseball playing career. I am glad that you finally figured out that you are a has been and never will be hall of famer and that you might as well come out clean because you have no where else to go and that you want to leave the game with a clean state of mind.
Now as far as you coming back to coaching, I think you are hurrying to quickly to this decision. It’s good to see you back in a Cardinals uniform but this time without any juice. Don’t you get it that you only came clean less than a year ago about being on steroids? People still hate you, and now you are the hitting coach? What are you going to do, take all the players down a dark ally in the mean streets of St. Louis and show them how to knock the crap out of the ball by just one small shot in the butt? You were only a good hitter because of the illegal substances that you did. Haven’t you heard about what baseball is trying to do now? They are trying to make it a drug free league, and with just your presence there, the Major League is not fulfilling their dream.
