<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->Where Rodriguez broke new ground Tuesday was with his admission, which separates himself from others -- Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa among them -- ensnared in the haze of the steroids era. Rodriguez also is the first first-ballot-type Hall of Famer to acknowledge using performance-enhancing substances.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Now, I don't believe Sosa is squeaky clean, but as of now we have no evidence besides our own eyes. On top of that, you can't just group him in the same paragraph as two known users and one (Bonds) who is currently in a trial about it.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
How is McGwire a "known user?"
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I dunno. The fact that he completely refused to talk about anything during the trial was pretty incriminating. "I'm net here to talk about the past." Really? Why did you think they brought you in?
Of course, Sammy forgetting how to speak English was just as incriminating.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In Sammy's defense though, how can you forget something that you never really grasped in the first place?
