Ry:  I agree with you, for the most part. The problem with the recent revelations, though, is now I am less of an optimist.

What makes me suspicious is the fact that Ortiz put himself INTO the steroids conversation last week when he suggested that steroid positive testers get a YEAR suspension right off the bet.

When this news broke out, my newfound pessimist attitude thinks: "Aha!  Damage control."
