Matt Herges apologizes for steroid use

by GameSix on Feb 13, 2008 2:59 PM PST

DENVER -- Colorado Rockies reliever Matt Herges and first base coach Glenallen Hill have issued written apologies for using performance-enhancing substances.

Herges says he has "no excuse for my actions" and says he's deeply remorseful.

Herges was a stud in 2003 for the Gmen and I'm sorry to hear he's a part of the RoidAges. Oh well we're stupid Americans and will eat up his apology like the fried foods we love.

Both issued their statements Wednesday, the same day Roger Clemens his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, testified before Congress about drug use in baseball.

Nice timing on your apology, Matt.

At least he's being up front about it...most players who've been caught just say someone put roofies the water cooler.

He should also apologize for the way he pitched for us in 2004-2005.

This explains why he kept pointing up at the sky when he induced infield pop-flys. He wasn't actually pointing, he was accentuating his ripped physique and showing off his guns.
