Steroid Users - Who Do You Blame, MLB or the Union?
So, who is more to blame for the ongoing mess, most recently manifested in Alex Rodriguez's admission that he was juiced? Is Major League Baseball, which scored record interest, attendance and profits when its top sluggers were on the needle, and sending balls into the stratosphere? Or is the the players' union, which went to the wall to protect athletes who committed daily crimes against fair competition, and their own bodies, thanks to the gifts of modern chemistry?
Or could it be both? Or neither, with the malefactors being a few misguided individuals, instead of business institutions?
One take comes from the blog of Ted Robinson, under the heading of MLB Taking Some Hard Hits.

I blame them both. Last I looked, Steriods were illegal. period. to use them is breaking the law. period. as soon as the union and MLB realize that looking the other way or covering for lawbreakers is not the way to run a railroad, i'll have the same respect for current players as i do for Ruth, Paige, Gibson, Dimaggio, Mays and others.

Scott - If you are interested in a game of The Battle for Normandy, drop me an email. I've got one PBEM game going, but I can probably start another.
0900 opens with another CSA initiative and again a March chit is chosen. Good timing with Davis facing troopers ready to open up on him. Davis' brigade rolls change to attack though weak as they are morale-wise that probably is a poor choice. Pettig…

Matt - Been in playtesting for a few weeks now. We have about 20 people testing it, plus a gaming class at Brown University in Minnesota.
Once we get into final phase, I will add you to the list, so you can get a sneak peak and have some fun at the…
too late to playtest? or to looka at the rules?
Matt - thanks. That took some work. Now to get the Japanese attack determination to work just right...
Steve...Looks really, really good. I think you got the DC thing down!
As you play and note some discrepencies or you see something that needs clarification let me know.
The Japanese attack tables may be changed as the RR results seem to be cropping up a bit often. But it does have a lot to do with chit draw for value…
Great pics, thanks Lisa!
I loved that place, you can spend days in there, was able to visit it years ago while stationed in Germany, .
It was during a week long vacation in Paris paid for by Uncle Sam. :-)
