I don't think it's eating at anyone. I think sports fans just have strong opinions on the matter but I'm sure veryone on here agrees that it's not a matter of life or death.
We'll watch ARod break the record, and then we'll see how close Pujols can get to breaking ARod's. If you compare both of their first 6 full major league seasons, Pujols is on virtually the same track as ARod was: Games AB Runs Hits HR RBI Avg. ARod (96-01) 887 3562 741 1123 236 709 .315 Pujols (01-06) 933 3489 748 1159 250 758 .332
Gotta be careful when you make predictions.....cuz 7 years later, some of the previous comments look silly and outlandish. And at the time they were made, some were a stretch. Running off at the mouth is a terrible sports fans' disease.
The GOOD NEWS is degenerate juicers like Bonds, McGwire, and Palmerio will never make it to the Hall of Fame. That has to be a hit to their PED ego's!
