I am so disappointed with Congress’ inability to move this case forward. Even more disappointing is Selig - he needs to be reminded that in the 1919 Black Sox scandal the courts found the parties not guilty. However, commissioner Landis went above and beyond and banned the players from MLB.

If Selig is not going to do the same, then Pete Rose belongs back in baseball.

Please submit a list questions that were not asked by Congress or questions that should have been asked.

1. Did Mcnamee also keep syringes from Pettite and Knoblauch?

2. No questions were asked to further how widespread this problem is.

…..more?

This dog and pony show and clearly biased questioning of Congress has further tainted the integrity of MLB. Does finding out who is the bigger liar really restore integrity to baseball?

Bud Selig needs to act.

Many rocks are being turned and the insects are scrambling…..I think Pete Rose is due an apology at least…..hey, we’ve all been to Vegas or Atlantic City.

Wow…..not sure what to say on this one, but its been an interesting night of news….

Rocker is certainly a questionable character but the timing of this story is of interest. So he claims that Selig knew of of his Steroid use in 2000 — did Congress ask Selig about this when they questioned him?

Did you know that Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were once banned for life from MLB for working at a casino? So if you think this call to action is too harsh, please take a read through the link below to see a list of players that have been banned.

As fans, how can we sit back and let this happen? Much of this entire debacle lays in the fact that Clemens and Pettite were tied at the hip, at least in terms of work out routines and habits.

Pettite left the Yanks for Houston, Clemens instead of retiring joins Pettite in Houston, Pettite rejoins the Yanks, Clemens rejoins the Yanks (and is paid $25 milion for a half season)…..so almost 9 seasons playing together and the biggest controversy since Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Congress allows this? MLB allows this? I guess integrity takes a seat behind Enron.

Our last poll question asked if Bud Selig is doing enough to protect the integrity of the game. Overwhelmingly, 94% of our readers say NO

The integrity of baseball is at stake and Selig is waiting on Congress…..I am sure I can pull some stats on where the approval ratings for Congress are…..24% or something?

If you would like to comment on our last poll question, please do.

Has Bud Selig done enough to protect the integrity of the game?

Brian Mcnamee allegedly has saved needles and blood ridden gauze that could be the smoking gun on Roger Clemens. I am not sure what kind of character this guy is if he saved these things for 7 years. But, if true, Selig needs to ban Clemens.

He strongly denies any use, the same way Rose denied gambling for so long. Rose’s denial is often used as an excuse for not reinstating him, and Clemens should face the same sentence.

Our first poll revealed that 81% of our readers believe that the current widespread use of steroids in baseball has a greater impact on the integrity of the game than Pete Rose’s gambling on the sport.

A 2005 Harris Poll posted similar results

Comments are welcome on our first poll question below:

Which has a greater impact on the “integrity” of the game?
