As for the McGwire news - he shouldn't have taken steroids, but I'm more bothered by the way the public and press are foaming at the mouth about it. All the writers who wanted him to come clean are now picking at the way in which he "came clean."
(And I feel the same way about Bonds, Clemens, Pettite, and all the others.)

Well
1. He declined to answer when asked about his usage by a Congressional Committee about it after Cansenco outed him
2. I find the timing of this to be 'odd' after a) he just got a job as hitting coach by the Cards and b) he was just snubbed for the 4th (??) time to the Hall of Fame
I would think this admission would now probably make him ineligible or at the very least unlikely to be voted in, though some disagree, saying his admission may HELP him
