PrintNew batting coach Mark McGwire drew one of the biggest cheers during the pregame introductions before his first home game since retiring after the 2001 season."AP
Amazing that a fan base that loses it's collective mind over an untucked shirt, can over look the fact that McGwire was an admitted cheat and fraud just because he wore a Cardinal uniform. Bunch of hypocrites, they sit up on Mount Busch passing judgment on every minor infraction of baseballs hallowed Code. But than give this cheater a standing O. Teach your children well St Louis

I feel like commenting
but there’s really nothing to add.
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
But untucking is disrespectful to the game.
Taking steroids on the other hand is just allowing you to play the game to the best of your ability and if you don’t make sure you play your very best then your disrespecting the game and everyone who has come before you.
Therefore you need to take steroids or admit that you are disrespecting the game of baseball.
Oh, but remember...
…that steroids don’t improve your performance on the field. If that’s what McGwire says, and if the STL fans believe that, then that must mean they don’t help improve performance on the field, cuz they are all about what’s good and right for the game of baseball.
I agree with you completely
that they shouldn’t be up in a tizzy about playing the game right, but untucking
however, we do have to remember that, according to the rules, McGwire didn’t cheat. The rules were stupid and perhaps he broke some US laws (did he have a perscription? did he traffic the drugs across national boundaries? etc), but he didn’t break any rules specific to baseball. So…he didn’t cheat.
He’s just a scumbucket for doing something to give himself an edge that was so morally questionable
You are missing the most important part
He broke the
UNWRITTEN RULES
Failure is just success rounded down.

Make it green
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Did Tony LaRussa drive him around the warning track?
I’d like to know his BAC if he did.

I thought your ire was reserved for Mike Cameron.
I’m glad you’re focusing on what really matters, the evil that is the St. Louis Cardinals.
Here here!
I would also like to point out that the Milwaukee Brewers are entirely guilt-free in the steroid era, as all of the former Brewers confirmed to have taken steroids sucked anyways and gave us no advantage.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
Yea

No
Chicago isn’t a threat to battle for second place this year.

Irony...
Just like San Fran getting in a tizzy about Prince’s celebration last year. Meanwhile, they employed the most notorious cheater of the Steroid Era. So just to get things straight: Fun group celebration that evokes the childlike joy of playing the game = disgracing the game; Chemically enhanced freakshows smashing hallowed records through cheating = fine if he’s our guy.
