Fans don't care about steroids issue

[Bouncer]

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland has avoided publicly discussing baseball's steroid controversy.

Until today when the issue was broached in light of Red Sox slugger David Ortiz's public denial of using steroids on Saturday, even though he was outed by the New York Times for being in the confidential 2003 report.

"I've always thought when something was confidential and sworn to be confidential I don't know how stuff like that comes out," Leyland said. "I don't condone steroids or growth hormone or anything else... For the most part, I don't think fans (care.) The people that probably care about it are the people that probably don't like baseball. So they really got something to (complain) about baseball. I don't think the fans care that much. Or maybe they do, I don't know."

He's right they don't care

It's the writers that care. I think it makes them feel foolish about some of the things they wrote about certain players doing great things and now there words are tarnished. It seems more and more people are lobbying to just get the whole list out.

Would you be pro or against outing the list? I don't think it's right what is happening now, but legally speaking just dumping the rest would be wrong also. What people need to do is just step up and say what they took if they want the "writers" to give them their hall of fame vote - i personally could give a fuck, it's their body the rules were totally different.

I feel for all of baseball it would be good to get the list out. Sure there may be some people that would never be found out, but if you just drop the whole list the smaller people will get lost in the mix and the big names are going to come out anyways.

Baseball is far from being a "die hard" sport in America. This isn't the 1940's now
