It's about time...

I like to think they would have done it without Congress's involvement, but the point is, it's done.

According to the lead article at ESPN.com, Major League Baseball has at long last adopted a more stringent policy toward steroid use. First time, 50-day suspension; second, 100-day; three strikes, yer out!

The purity of the game has been compromised, and this is a step to getting it back on track. Ousting Barry Bonds will be step 2; hopefully Bradley's web site BondsCheated.com will receive notice and get that moving. But for now, at least we're beginning to get back on the right track.

I mean, we kicked Pete Rose out for gambling, and gambling (last I checked) does not give you an advantage over other players. The least we can do is extend similar penalties to other cheaters.

Song lyric of the day:
"Dreamt I was dead sleeping in your bed
Floated up from the ground and looked down
Then finally I could see completely
Heard the angels' song"
- Guster, Long Way Down
