Maybe they should put Canseco in the HOF for bringing all the riods out in the forfront and exposing this thing in his books. Otherwise MLB won't have done anything.

Now that McGuire has "come clean," do you believe him that Tony LaRussa didn't know about his steroid use? I certainly don't. And there's no way Bud Selig can claim ignorance here either. Yet mark my words, at some point in the not so distant future, both LaRussa and Selig will be on Hall of Fame ballots ...

If he hadn't have said that, I think the rest of his 'coming clean' was handled very well. Even the guy sitting in the courtroom with him, whose son died from steroid use, said he understood McGwire's previous response to Congress, once he heard that McGwire had asked for immunity. Let's face it, Congress doesn't handle baseball problems very well - any better than they handle anything else.

So I give McGwire's confession higher marks than any previous other than Andy Petitte, who's the only one who truly handled it the correct way.
