All Selig really needed to do was increase the penalties, increase the testing and move on. Now it seems if anyone slumps, it's because they were juicing. Hasn't the testing been going on for a while now? Bay was certainly being tested in 2005 and 2006 when he was a .900+ OPS beast. Would being off the juice cause a 70 point drop in his OBP?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm tired of the whole post steroid fallout that comes with a good or bad year. Bay is an outstanding talent, the kind you build an offense around.
I agree whole heartedly TRF.
