Do you care if a player in your favorite team use Roids to improve his/her performance?

Am a yankee fans i want a few more player to get in the roids Andy pitch great last year but, Roger was suck. we have a few young pitcher if they not already in it am not encorage them to go in it however if those kids really think about they will make the right decisions. i don't they could do any better then deliver a championship to NYC after almost a decade we haven't had one. so HUGHES, KENNEDY, Joba, Robinson and any other thats not on it please considerate it. am just jokin i don't want nobody to use anything that probably would cut they life short.

    No, I don't care if they want to risk their careers and drastically shorten their lifespan. I do however, lose all of my admiration for their talent. I value natural talent in athletes - it truly amazes me - but when they enhance it by cheating...there's just nobody to look up to. no role model. no talent.

    They really do ruin their reputation...Bonds may have been an good player without steroids, but since he went down that path, we will never know...

    Yes, I would care very much. I am a White Sox fan and we don't have many great players but Mark Buehrle is one of the best lefties in the league. He isn't recogzine muchk probably because he plays for an awful team but he already has 100+ wins and he has not hit 30 yet. Anyways, if I found out he took steroids, I would be beyond disappointed because watching game after game, seeing this guy doing remarkable things, and to find out the only reason why he was doing these things was because of drugs? It would take me a long time to ever get over that.

    Mariano Rivera of the Yankees (I'm ruling out Matsui, who was injured most of last season). Rivera didn't have a bad season last year, but he had an "off year" based on his usual standards. This season, Rivera just might be pitching BETTER THAN EVER, and THAT is really saying something. The numbers have been ridiculous: 20.0 IP, 10 HITS, 1 ER, 17 K's, NO WALKS, 0.45 ERA, 12 for 12 in Saves. There is NO WAY he can keep this up, right?

    Yeah as a Yankee Fan you would say that... espically after half your team showed up on the list... Clemens, Pettite and Giambi and Shefield (former player)...

    But considering 20%-70-% of the MLB juiced in there lifetime either if it was in high school or college or earlier in there careers... who cares about this report... As long as these guys are passing there steriod test now.... THEN PLAY BALL!

    I'm sure the old timers were taking drugs too. Do you think Babe Ruth could go out drinking all the time and and still play every day with out taking some uppers? Drugs have been in all sports for a long time. I don't feel cheated by them taking steroids, I feel cheated when I go to a game and have to pay the outlandish prices because they are paying the players millions to play a game. Guess that's why I don't go anymore.

    The use of STEROIDS is not allowed in professional sports, Because it takes away from the skills and it also is detrimental to the human life span. For what they get paid and they know what they can and cannot get away with even having contracts that are very clear there is no excuse. What do the fans want another hulk Hogan.

    I was always a big Todd Pratt fan - don't ask me why, I just always liked him. He was named in the report but I can't say it shocked me or changed the way I view him because I kinda already figured he was doing something.

    As for current players. It would have killed me to see one of the Phillies on there or have it proven that one of them was using.

    Yes I do and am very upset that the Indians keep Byrd around after the news of his use came out.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes, I care. I feel slighted and mad and cheated. Luckily Mike Stanton was the only current Red on the report... but still.

    I think the guys that were Royals at one point either weren't using them in KC or weren't using them properly, because none of those guys had a good season in a Royals uniform. So no, I don't really care.
