They hire Mark McGwire. Something is seriously wrong when the other steroid users can't get a job, but McGwire can? What's at play here?
Well, now Albert Pujols can break Barry Bonds' single-season HR record with McGwire going to show him everything he knows. This will also be the year that the prophet CowboyB Leonitas foretold us about in that Khalil Greene will hit 30+ HRs too under McGwire.
I myself don't even consider the specter of steroids here. HOWEVER, I do question the logic of hiring a .263 career hitter to be a hitting coach. He might be able to teach guys to hit the ball farther ( wink, wink, nudge, nudge ), but better? Really?
cowBoyb/redteam/leonitas/what was that one with the eagle/ and so many others/ oh wait MisterMets. I wonder if he uses steroids to help him sell cell phones
HOWEVER, I do question the logic of hiring a .263 career hitter to be a hitting coach. And let's clarify that it was .263 on the juice, so we might be talking a hitting coach who would've been a Mendoza Line caliber hitter or worse depending how much the juice helped him.

This has Willie Mays and Willie Stargell distibuting the good stuff in the locker room written all over it.

I'm sure that Cybil can use some steroids to lift his 1980s cell phone everywhere he goes. Afterall, he's a midget caryyong a phone that weighs about 40 pounds.

Inferring that McGwire does not qualify due to his lifetime batting average is like inferring that honus wagner would be a great hitting coach because of his lifetime average. Both of them have zero correlation to each other. just because you can hit doesn't mean you can coach and just because you can't hit doesn't mean you can't coach. It is pretty simple.
Do the research yourself before you make silly assumptions.
Tony La Russa, Joe Torre, John McGraw, Bobby Cox, Ron Gardenhire, Dave Duncan, Mike Sciosia...and the majority of the rest were not great ball players..but they are great coaches/managers.
Not saying that he would be a bad hitting coach. My thread is about the steroid thing. The 2 previous Presidents were known to do illicit drugs. Does anybody truly care? Or is this just going to be another BS story to make people feel good because they have something to bash and talk about?

open your eyes, folks
I have posted side by side with Cowboyb and called him an idiot several times for his homerism. I am not even a Cardinals fan. I was going to come on here to congradulate the Yankees for beating my Angels.
