to read the mouth breathers on other boards such as espn or cbssporstline. How there could ever be an inkling of malice towards Cal makes me want to withdraw from society. Of course I worried about Cal when roids were continually exposed, but only because I knew, deep down, that if he were implicated in some way I might just give up on baseball.

I will never question the Iron Man because I know that Cal’s Dad, dead or alive, would have kicked his ass if he was roiding.

speak out against the whole roid thing, it has to be Cal. I guess my only issue here is that if he is going to confront Rodriguez, he may as well take the time to call out jerkoffs like Rafael Palmiero. Overall, I do like the idea of belittling and harassing cheaters though…

player’s aren’t policing themselves, so let former players do it. it’s alot harder to lie to the face of a guy that played the game while you did and knows the guys who injected you. cal has all the credibility in the world. this isnt some guy naming names to sell a few books, he just genuinely cares about the game. bravo, mr ripken. its time someone did something to protect the game that did so much for them.
