Guilty By Association??

After several hours of thinking today I finally have had enough of this story. Raul Ibanez felt the need to come out and blast a blogger for "suggesting" he used PED's. Now listen Ibanez has averaged 22 home runs the last several seasons and is off to a career start at age 37 with 20 home runs before the All-Star break. Ibanez went on to say that if he tested positive for performance enhancers that he would give back every dime he ever earned. He wasn't done there folks, he continued his rant by saying that he would go after anyone who questioned his word or defamed/slander him and that these people should be held accountable...really Raul?? . How about myself as a baseball fan being cheated out of my hard earned money? How you ask? By going out and paying inflated ticket prices to make you a millionaire and watch grown men who think they need steroids to hit a baseball, run faster, or throw harder. Where is my refund for being lied to about what I was watching? If you are such a stand up guy, why didn't you rat out someone you thought was using? No one should go unquestioned in this day and age, look at Manny Ramirez this was "the purest right handed hitter to ever play the game" until he tested positive for a banned substance to cover up steroid use. I am taking you at your word Raul, I'm taking your word that you can rest your head at night knowing that you played the game the right way, but you cant be angry with us when so many of your peers caused this age of leeriness.
