why?

Start with the 'lifetime' ban which is just stupid but sounds good term-wise. Wow...a whole 2 years!?! Say it ain't so!!!

Also, if they were really serious, it should only take 2 occurences, not 3. But '3 strikes and out' is catchy. pfft

Next I'm waiting for all the ones suprised by Ichiro's recent revelation of the Mariners(in todays paper). It's no suprise at all.

It isn't a 2 year ban, it is life, with the possibility of reinstatement after two years. What the [censored] is wrong with that????

As for Ichiro, all I can say is "Thank you", fans are dissapointed too.

haha, the asterisk will live on

50-100-Life*

It's great.

Maybe next year they'll nab Tejada, Thome, Uribe, Rowand, etc.

Pudge got off 'em this year. He actually realized he had a HOF career to ruin.

Remember Glenn Bragg, and Ron Gant? God, those guys were juicers. Possibly Felix Jose, too.

I used to marvel at Ron Gant's biceps and think, "God that guy must go to the gym a lot." Now I know he both went to the gym a lot, and did steroids a lot.

Love the new policy. Maybe some of these bums will retire and give some husting AA player a shot.

Why reinstate them at all? They'd have failed 3 times.

At least it will be harder to break Steve Howe's record for lifetime bans, I guess.

It shouldn't be a suprise to fans. They should've seen it coming.
