'Roids spoiling baseball

Steroids. Even the word feels weird in your mouth. It has tainted a majority of MLB organizations. Let's start off with our beloved Sox. They magically manage to capture a World Series title after eighty-something years, right. Hoorah for Boston. But after our win again in '07, things begin to get interesting. Our main man, Manny Ramirez led the Sox to success for the past decade. But he suddenly begins to give minimal effort and starts fights with teamates. Roid rage? I don't know. But after he gets sent of to LA, it is discovered that he's doing steroids. Tear. Our baseball titles are slightly dented. But then comes Big Papi. His trademark smile has found it's way to every sports follower's mind. When you think of the Sox, Big papi's image is instilled in your head. But all of a sudden, so is a needle. Yeah, you heard me. A NEEDLE. Do you realize how that tarnishis the image of Boston baseball? It's incredible that players have the nerve to continue to play after begin found out to have used the dreaded needle. In closing, I would like to say this. Tear.
