McGwire said he would have confessed to steroid usage sooner, but he just didnt have the balls to do it........

That's exactly what I posted in the Dodgers forum. GMTA.

The effect of hitting coaches is overrated anyway.

The Cardinals had a great offense, i don't think it would have mattered much who their hitting coach was.

It's good for McGwire to be closer to home but it's only a bigger headline because its about one of the more controversial figures in baseball.

Horrible person going to a horrible franchise run by a bunch of clueless retards like Kasten. They should spend less time trying to improve and sign Scutero.

I'd prefer he play his career on sf his whole career, but no point in getting mad at the guy.

That's probably because he didn't want to miss out at a shot at being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
