first of all let me say how happy i am to be today at trinity college. president mcgwire thank you for your hospitality and leadership, recognized nationally as a great academic leader in our country. i m happy my grandson is here. in any event we come into this congress at a really very interesting time. it s been hard to imagine many more times in history that had been more challenging in terms of shall we say the differences of opinion and values that are out there. we come into a congress as you mentioned, joy, that the government is shutdown and you mention the wall. the wall and the government shutdown really have nothing to do with each other. we passed bills yesterday, a package of six bills. i think it s important for the ....
Found one out of every five drugs made by compounding pharmacies fails to meet standards. what we have are drugs that are not regulated by the fda. these are drugs that might be contaminated and we don t know the impact it has on the human body. in ohio, state officials used one of these mixtures to execute mcgwire. a reporter said he gasped and choked for about ten minutes. despite the unconstitutional agony, louisiana is going to go ahead and use the same lethal mixture to execute a man next week. while the number of executions has declined since its peak in the late 90s, the use of these new sketchy drugs in lethal injections is disturbing. executions may be rare in the united states, but they re also ....
See bob costas who s as brilliant as sport castor as there is perhaps ever, said they re doomed if they get tampa bay playing against, you know, another small market in the finals of the baseball in the world series. they just don t want to watch it. we should mention that steroids have done a lot of damage in recent years in the various scandals, tarnishing scars from mac mcgwire to sammy sosa to a-rod and roger clemens. how much of that has contributed to this decline, i would call it? well, i think that people are tired of seeing it. and if you look at the most searched people in major league baseball this year, and i went on and did, it was ryan braun of the brewers who s been suspended for 65 games, and alex rodriguez who s now been suspended for 211 games and is having his appeal, and he has his appeal going on right now during the playoffs. that was very well thought out by major league baseball as well. so, yes, the steroids has hurt, but they profiteered off it. if you g ....
Is it like they are turning a blind eye to what is happening in their club? i think time was that was the case. you know, after the strike and when mcgwire and sosa battled it out for home runs the owners were happy to take everyone s money. now a realization that peds are bad for the game. they have made some progress. until they change the culture and the calculation of players, melky cabrera just signed a $16 million contract after he got popped for drugs! ryan braun signed $105 million dollar extension and a-rod is the richest player in the history of baseball. peds and peds and for them, peds in their mind might be the difference between a major league career and making hundreds of thousands of dollars and working in a factory or a sugar cane field in the dominican republic. so for them the calculation is it s a chance they could take. a-rod has suggested his ....
There are ever more sophisticated means of doing it. i don t think they can get the full-blown effect that mcgwire, sosa, bonds got where they could probably turn themselveses into psi borgs, but with the use of hgh and testosterone and masking agents they can get some edge, otherwise they wouldn t do it, so it s ongoing. but within the game, the disapproval mounts and the vast majority of players stand firmly against it, and you find some of them, like matt scherzer, a player from the detroit tigers, and others saying here s what we should add to baseball s arsenal the right at the team s discretion to void a long-term contract if a player is found, and after he gets due process and goes through appeals, so it s a fair process, if the player is found to have used peds, the team has the right to void the long-term contract. in the case of ryan braun, for example, he loses $3 million. that s a lot of money. but there s still about $100 million left on the contract. if you put in that ....
