LOLsorda defending Piazza's alleged Steroid Use
"He worked so hard. I saw him in the weight room working out all the time."
Because steroids just magically put muscles on you?

I wish you hadn't brought this up.
Not much of a choice we’ve got here. Either we reject Jeff Pearlman’s book of unproven hearsay and align ourselves with the opinion of Tommy Lasorda; or, we accept Pearlman’s smears in order to talk shit about Lasorda and his (probably very very roided) nephew.
It’s like choosing between Hitler and weird brother of Hitler.

I think Piazza is Lasorda’s godson, not his nephew. Anyway, there was a recent article in the NY Times where the writer, Murray Chass, said that Piazza’s back was covered with acne for years, and then in 2004 when steroid testing began, he showed up for spring training acne free. Now either Piazza needs to let us know the cure so millions of teenage girls can feel better about themselves, or Piazza was probably doing roids. As for Lasorda, he continues to show his ignorance, an ignorance shared by many managers and other baseball hireups, which allowed this steroid culture to flourish to begin with. Using steroids cuts down your body’s recovery time from vigorous exercise, which allows you to work out harder and longer. Lasorda should stick to what he knows best, having sex with hookers and watching lesbian porn.

I think this steroids witch hunt has gone a bit too far. Analyzing back acne?

Oh, analyzing backne has been going on since the beginning of the steroids freakout. Witness Sammy Sosa.

I’m getting an image of Kenneth Star counting the number of pimples on Piazza’s back to present to congress

I’m not trying to argue that it’s not true, only that no matter how reasonable Pearlman’s conjecture is, it’s still conjecture and it’s still Pearlman. Watching Piazza and Lasorda twist in the wind would be extremely fun under normal circumstances but having it happen this way makes the witch hunt so… distasteful. Like it always is, I suppose.

You know, Lasorda’s son died of AIDS, right? Or is that supposed to be the funny part?

Goes too far, I think. Lasorda is fair game, but I don’t think family tragedies are.

The story of what happened to his son made me hate Tommy’s character even more. His long history of bigotry and ignorance is ridiculous. That pic was more of a snark comment to his obliviousness.

I don’t prefer to dwell on that part of his life, but the idea is that, to this day, Lasorda will not acknowledge what happened to his son, claiming that he died of “cancer” because he is ashamed that his son was gay.

This is so stupid
Everybody in baseball is going to continue to think that every team but their own is full of roiders. It’s starting to really piss me off.
Bonds is a cheater!!! But Piazza was such a sweet young man… He couldn’t have used steroids.

I gotta say… I had Piazza’s back (ne) on the roids issue, but if Lasorda is defending him, I might have to change my mind.

Piazza says he was always clean, remember?
