PEDs or WMDs, I No Longer Care

I'm going to go on record as stating I hardly care anymore about this 'who did what' steroids thing. 'Intelligence' was wrong about WMDs in Iraq, and it doesn't seem like we have a good grasp on PEDs here in baseball. I'm sure the Bush Administration regrets going into Iraq because of faulty 'intelligence', I imagine baseball may regret a wild goose chase about steroid use in their sport. It's just no longer worth it.

There was a dead ball era, there is now a steroids era, in our minds or in our spread sheets we'll adjust the stats accordingly. Sure, it'd be nice if some of this was cleaned up, if the 103 names left from that supposed anonymous testing came out, but I no longer think it's worth all the trouble. If I was a clean player and my records are now tainted maybe I would think differently, but I'd be one of hundreds of players who stood silent for a decade, hard to complain now, too little too late. Why is Roy Oswalt running his mouth about steroids affecting his wins now, when Clemens brought them to a World Series? I'll gladly shove my foot in my mouth if it comes out Clemens was clean, but seriously Roy?

So we thought there were WMDs in Iraq and it has resulted in a war way longer than we ever expected, I fear if baseball comes down too hard on this they may start a war in their sport. The list of names are supposed to be anonymous, and although I'd be incredibly interested in seeing them, forcing them to come out may completely destroy the relationship between baseball and the Union, maybe ultimately baseball in general. I can't knowingly let my kid stay out passed his curfew then one day punish him for all the times he stayed out in the past. It's the same idea here. I can start punishing players for doing it now, but the past is the past. Baseball messed up, let's move on or we'll get stuck seeing it on the news every night.
