A-Rod? Is that you in there?
In honor of the latest members of the MLB’s PEDebacle, roid-ragin’ WCBias.com presents its new and “better enhanced” All-Steroid Team.
(Don’t forget to compare this list to last year’s first-ballot Hall of Shame class.)
The second edition consists of the who’s who of players linked to performance-enhancing drugs, according to a rash of media reports, the latest leaks of the 2003 flunkies (Manny and Papi), not to mention personal admissions and the good ol’ Mitchell Report.
Last year’s starters, who have since been moved to reserve status, have been crossed out for the newest class of PEDers.

- Kevin Brown and John Rocker (just because they’re both such nice guys), Rick Ankiel (use to be a pitcher, couldn’t throw a strike to save his life, disappeared for a cycle second, now he’s back in the Majors as a power-hitting OF? Hmmm, wonder how that happened?) and Brendan Donnelly (replacement player + steroids = ‘roid ragin’ Major League reliever), P
That’s it. Congratulations to all of the new members of the WCBias All-Steroid Team. We’ll see you again at this time next year, when 2010 hopefuls Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Ryan Howard and Carlos Beltrán see if they can’t make their way into the hallowed halls of shame.
Never in my life did I think I’d become a Tim Wakefield fan, but this Bud’s for you Wake. You’re the only one left in the game who I know is real — 65 mph on the Juggs gun don’t lie. Keep chuckin’ them Wiffle Balls yo. You’re all we got.
