Sympathy for the Working Man
When I first saw that shortstop/left-fielder Mike Morse had been suspended for steroids, I figured it was just another borderline Mariner caught "shopping at GNC" (see Jamal Strong, Ryan Franklin, etc.). Why can't your Seattle M's learn that when you cheat you're supposed to win?
But there's more to the story than Mikey trying to break out of the AAA ghetto. It turns out he's being suspended for something that happened down in the minors nearly a year and a half ago. The bigger shock is that he fessed to it, admitting using steroids instead of alledging a shadowy conspiracy. While I normally advocate the Frank Robinson solution for players caught juicing, I'd like to make an exception for Morse. MLB has once again fouled up this important issue. So, enjoy your break, Mike. See you in 10.
