Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday that he hasn't ruled out disciplining Alex Rodriguez for admitting to the use of banned substances from 2001-2003.
"It was against the law, so I would have to think about that," Selig said. "It's very hard. I've got to think about all that kind of stuff."

Leave it to Bud to suspend a guy for answering allegations about steroid use that only came about because MLB leaked confidential test results.

This may be in the thread already and if I missed it sorry.
If he asked that all 3 years worth of stats be removed would that make a difference to HOF voters? or even the public?

There is no way Selig could get away with suspending him. He didn't suspend Giambi. This is just Bud trying to sound like a bad ass when he really knows that he can't do shit.

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.

How is McGwire a "known user?"
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance

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.

In Sammy's defense though, how can you forget something that you never really grasped in the first place?
