    Re: Mac admits using steroids...

    What! Big Mac did what? No way! This can't be true! Did anyone else see this coming?

    He came clean ONLY because he wanted this Hitting Coach position with the LaRussa/Cardinals...

    I'd like to to see a player come clean when there isn't anything "in it for them" other than to clear their conscience....

    Re: Mac admits using steroids...

    a damn shame...thats all there is too say. I was a Mac supporter for years through all of this; giving him the benefit of the doubt. Mac, Bonds, Manny, Raffy, Arod...all busted. What a sad day for baseball. If this was the olympics they all would've been stripped of whatever glory/awards they won as well as there teams. WTF baseball?!? This one hurts.

    I do maintain my argument that as a professional athelete you are paid to be bigger and stronger, so over a 10-20 year career they should become larger then life. And yes, while steriods can't give you the ability to hit a ball, it can definately help you to become a freak.

    Chalk another one up to Canseco.

    I wonder if this effects his status with the Cards or if he was asked to come clean by them?! What prompted this?

    <sigh>

    Wade:

    Of course the Cardianls knew this (it was the worst kept secret in baseball); but I'm sure they asked him to "come clean" prior to Spring Training so that it wasn't a distraction throughout the season....LaRussa and the Cardinals had originally stated that McGwire was going to address the media prior to Christmas, but I suppose that Mac was holding off as long as he could....

    I doubt that Mac was shaking in his boots about NOT getting the hitting coach position. I'm pretty sure he could have taken this to the grave with him and not allowed his little kids to find out...Mac's a pretty private person. He could have just said 'no' to the job offer. He knew what would happen if he did in fact say 'yes'.

    Probably feels pretty good for him right now. Many good ballplayers are not in the hall for whatever reason...

    I agree! As an Arod fan, he didn't do it for the right reasons. He did it because he got caught. I don't pat him on the back or praise him for doing it. He would have denied it forever if he could have. He had no choice!

    I agree with this statement as well, he admitted it because he was forced to. But why would the Cardinals want a hitting coach that admitted he was a cheater? I don't get that.

    Steriods or not, Big Mac was a great hitter. He proved that in his rookie season with a record 49 HR's. With time, it will pass. Big Mac will make a difference as a hitting coach. I wish him the best!
