If you follow these simple guidelines, then you will have the keycard in no time. No time at all.

Sex Appeal - Clothes and Cars
Ok, Clothes count for 60% of your Sex Appeal, while cars count for 40%.
Clothes -
Wear clothes that give lots of sex appeal such as the gimp suit which you get in the mission 'Wear Flowers In Her Hair'. You will soon see your Sex Appeal shoot straight up! Also haircuts and tatoos give you sex appeal, but never cover your body in them. Back tatoos give you the most sex appeal.Hair is a big part as well. Sexy haircuts include; Blonde Cornrow; Groove Cut; Pink hair; Detail cut; and an afro always scores a few points!!!
Cars -
A nice car is assential fora successfull date. Pimping out (modding) you car does not do anything to the Sex Appeal. If you get out of a car that has lots of sex appeal, that sex appeal will stick to you untill you get into another car, or change your clothes. Sexy cars include; Banshee; Bullet; Super GT; Turismo; Comet; Lowriders (not as much as the cars stated above); Slamvan; Uranus; and Sultan.
Types Of Dates
Food Date- At the beginning of any relationship, the food date is the most common type. There are four places you can go: diner, bar, fast food, or a restaurant. If you look on the Big Map then you will see the blips on the maps. press X to bring up the icon guide, telling you which blip is which date. Note that each girl is different so experiment in each place to see what she prefers. Taking her to the wrong place may effect your date.
Driving Date- In this date, your girlfriend asks you to drive her round. Then a fun meter shows up on the right. This goes up pretty quickly if you take her to the right places, and drive her at the right speed. You must drive according to their taste because one will want to go slow, and the other will want to speed through the streets. When the bar gets full she will ask you to drive her home, resulting in a successful date.
Dancing Date- Find a club aon the big map, go there and impress your girl with your dancing. You must score at least 4000 points for her to be happy with you. Result: successful date.
Usefull Info
To get lots of sex appeal, get a car such as Banshee, Bullet, Comet. NOTE: as you crash the car, sex appeal goes down, so drive carefully. Also if you crash the car too much with the girlfriend in it then she may die and become unavailable for dating her again.
ALWAYS listen to the girlfriend. If the area seems to suit her, then find a restaurant/diner etc. in that area. She also tells you what date she would like.
DONT neglect your girlfriends, but at the same time dont stalk them. if they are not in dont hang around and wait, find some flowers or a plastic toy to give to them.
A kiss and a present add 1% progress to each date.
BE HASTY - if you dont get to the desired place quick enough, your girlfriend will get bored and want you to drive her home, resulting in an unsuccessfull date. Same applies if you fail to max out her 'Fun Metre'
You get the keys to her car at about 50% and an outfit at 100%
The outfits you recieve at 100% progress with your girlfriends DO NOT bring any benifits, only lots of sex appeal. they look funny also. nothing beats doing the vigilante missions in a copy uniform. Or the ambulance missions in the paramedic uniform. Sweet.
Thats it, I hope this has helped you. Thank you for taking time to read it, just as I took my time to write it.
Thanks to Loly Pop for the information on the cars, things to do with your girlfriend and rpogress made on dates

Underdog A's, Orioles unleashed magic in 2012
Baltimore, Oakland smashed expectations with thrilling runs to postseason
By Lyle Spencer /01/01/13 10:00 AM ET
On the big screen, superstar Brad Pitt made Billy Beane a household name beyond the baseball and literary worlds. Beane clearly is a man who knows how to repay a debt of gratitude.
In the afterglow of the actor's on-the-money portrayal of Beane in "Moneyball," the Oakland Athletics' general manager made Pitt look even better. His behind-the-scenes performance in 2012 brought Beane Major League Baseball's version of an Oscar: the Executive of the Year trophy.
Affirmed by the GIBBYs, MLB.com's Greatness in Baseball Yearly Awards, the best story of the 2012 season was co-authored by the Athletics and Baltimore Orioles.
Awakening the echoes of earlier generations of powerhouses, the Orioles and A's took flight in unimagined ways. Both clubs reached the postseason -- before their implausible dreams were snuffed out by the Yankees and Tigers, respectively, in American League Division Series play.
Sharing a powerful chemistry that lifted them repeatedly to late-game triumphs, the Orioles and A's can now serve as templates for all the hopeful mid- and small-market clubs across the MLB landscape.
"Nobody can predict what's going to happen in baseball," D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said. "Look at the A's and Orioles. Who saw that coming?"
The Orioles made a quantum leap in going from 69 wins to 93 under the reins of manager Buck Showalter, voted Manager of the Year by the 10 million people participating in the GIBBYs. The Birds did it with persistence and perseverance, producing the best record in one-run games (29-9) in the modern era and by going 16-2 in extra-innings games.
Young and far from wealthy, the A's improved by 20 games to 94 wins, second to the Yankees' 95 in the AL. Like the O's, the A's finished the season scorching hot, each team winning 20 of its final 31 games.
The A's stunned two-time AL champion Texas to claim the AL West title with a six-game season-ending winning streak, the last three coming against the Rangers. Baltimore fell two games short of the Yankees in the AL East, winning the first-ever Wild Card playoff showdown against the reeling Rangers in Texas.
The magic in both cases expired in the ALDS.
Bob Melvin of the A's was the Baseball Writers Association of America's choice as Manager of the Year, edging Showalter. Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones was sixth in the AL Most Valuable Player balloting, with Oakland left fielder Yoenis Cespedes -- a Cuban signed surprisingly to a four-year, $36 million offseason contract -- finishing 10th.
Also receiving MVP votes by the BBWAA were Orioles closer Jim Johnson (14th), A's right fielder Josh Reddick (16th) and Orioles catcher Matt Wieters (21st). Johnson was seventh in the AL Cy Young Award voting.
These were teams in the truest sense, playing together with uncommon purpose and chemistry without the star power of some clubs that didn't fare nearly as well.
"I was paying attention [to the Athletics] because of the playoff ramifications," Showalter said. "We didn't see them very much. But you could feel the excitement they had going on out there. I felt great for Billy [Beane] and Bob [Melvin], knowing both of them.
"I guess there were some similarities, just, I think, from an energy [standpoint] and the mentality that was going on a little bit. It kind of snowballed for both clubs. You play so many games. There's no Cinderellas, but I know sometimes, I'm sure, Bob, in a private moment [and the] coaching staffs kind of look at each other and go, 'This is pretty cool, you know.' I'm not so old that I can't take that in and go, 'Wow.' There was many a night where I kind of said, 'Boy, I'm pretty lucky to be a part of this. Hope I don't screw it up.'"
The A's were built by Beane for the future. Nobody figured the future would arrive so soon in the loaded AL West.
Winter deals costing the club starters Trevor Cahill and Gio Gonzalez, closer Andrew Bailey, reliever Craig Breslow and outfielder Ryan Sweeney also fortified the organization with an infusion of youthful talent: Reddick, pitchers Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker, Ryan Cook, A.J. Cole, Brad Peacock and Raul Alcantara, catcher Derek Norris, corner infielder Miles Head and outfielder Collin Cowgill.
"We had two goliaths in our division -- the Angels and Rangers, two of the best teams in the game," Beane said. "We traded our three best players because they weren't enough to allow us to compete. We acquired 10 players [in the swaps with the Nationals, D-backs and Red Sox]. People sort of shut us off at that time.
"It changes quick. This business is so fluid. One good thing about what we did last year was that it was transformative."
Reddick, Cespedes, first basemen Brandon Moss and Chris Carter and outfielder Jonny Gomes gave the A's clout to overcome a .238 batting average and .310 on-base percentage. Reddick led the club with 32 homers, and Moss and Carter combined for 37 in 483 at-bats.
The Orioles also exploited power, with at least 20 homers from five sources: Chris Davis (33), Jones (32), Wieters and Mark Reynolds (23) and J.J. Hardy (22). They hit .247 overall with a .311 OBP.
Before Brett Anderson returned from elbow surgery, the A's were going with an all-rookie rotation. Bartolo Colon and Brandon McCarthy brought veteran experience to the mix before Colon was suspended for 50 games for performance-enhancing drugs and McCarthy was felled by a line drive. They combined for 42 starts.
Anderson made only six appearances. The rookies combined for 101 starts, with Milone and Parker each claiming a staff-high 13 wins.
Only rookie Wei-Yin Chen, at 12-11 the lone Baltimore pitcher with double-figure wins, went to the starting post more than 20 times for Showalter. Miguel Gonzalez, another rookie, was 9-4 with a 3.25 ERA in 15 starts, and Chris Tillman was 9-3 with a 2.93 ERA in his 15 starts.
Showalter also pulled all the right levers, enabling the Orioles to revive a fan base that hasn't been this excited since Cal Ripken Jr. made shortstop his home.
The Orioles had an astonishing run of 15 straight wins in extra-inning affairs, the most since the 1949 Indians claimed 19 in a row.
That spoke to the quality of a bullpen that was their primary asset, going 30-11 with a 3.00 ERA -- fifth best in the Majors. The A's were fourth at 2.94.
The Orioles ended a run of 14 consecutive losing seasons, dating to a 1997 campaign that ended with the Indians claiming the AL Championship Series from Baltimore in six games.
The Pirates tried to make it a threesome of great surprise stories, but the Steel City magic faded late in the season.
Running against the wind, the A's kept winning after Beane had shed $14 million in payroll, down to $52.8 million.
"This franchise has a history of exciting teams and some raucous times," Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick said of the A's. "You go all the way back, it's been that way. Guys who played here liked to have a good time. You can kind of feel it with this team. They're confident and they're exciting. They want to show how good they are."
The A's excelled against the big spenders: 8-1 vs. the Red Sox, 11-8 vs. the Rangers, 10-9 vs. the Angels and 5-5 vs. the Yankees.
"If I had to use one word to describe us, I'd say overwhelming," said Reddick, an emerging star acquired from Boston. "I don't want to say scrappy -- that's been used too much -- or surprising. I think we're overwhelming, to everybody in the league who thought we weren't going to be any good."
The GIBBYs' Storyline of the Year drew co-winners in the shadow of the nation's capital -- Baltimore for "Bucking the trend" and Washington for "Postseason baseball returns to DC."
"That's one award you'd like to win two years in a row," Showalter said, grinning.
Given their relative youth and all the knowledge and awareness gained in the past year, the Orioles and A's are positioned to sustain their quality play in 2013. The only difference will be those targets on their jerseys.

Michigan - 14, (We OWN) Penn State - 9
I'll have up a longer postgame post either late tonight or early tomorrow. Until then, let's hear what everyone's thinking. And most of all...
UPDATE: Thank God we don't have to play Wofford: Wofford - 42, Appalachian State -31.
Then again, it could be worse: We could be the team that lost to the team that lost to the team that lost to Wofford.

Well, you got the "Michigan - 14" part right. That's all that was needed.
D looked great! And, of course, Hart continues to amaze and inspire...
Go BLUE!!

- Jeff said...
I was so nervous that entire game. That was great. Hopefully we'll take it all the way through October without a loss now.
So, the question is, should we be ranked yet? I'm just not sure really. Even though I think we might be one of the 25 best teams, we still don't have the results to prove it.
- September 22, 2007 7:18 PM
- Bo said...
Big question is: Where do Michigan and Penn St. go in the rankings? Does Michigan jump back in depsite 2 losses? If so, are they ranked ahead of Penn St. because of the win? My prediction: Penn St. 21, Michigan: 20.

Benny & Yost - I live near Philly and Penn State fans were talking so much this week.
I have my printer ready with enough paper to cover a couple neighbors houses with whatever you guys post in the next couple days.
could the Lions actually beat the Eagles tomorrow, too? I'll be in Heaven for sure!!!

Good job blue...
When will the offense seal a victory for us??? When Penn State got the ball back with 1:49 left, I had an unusual feeling of deja vu.
Spread offense = L
Pocket QB = W
I guess that makes the Purdue game bigger than we once thought... they move the ball all over the field.

He's still so inconsistent, and he's got a lot of maturing to do, but c'mon, how much f*cking fun is it to watch Mallet?
You never know if he's gonna gun one 70 yards into the stands or make some wacky-pulled-out-of-his-magic-ass pass for the 1st down.
These next few years are gonna be a blast!
- September 22, 2007 7:42 PM

Michigan is now like Superman against conservative/traditional offenses (i.e. Big Ten teams, ND, etc.) and Clark Kent against spread/pro-style offenses.
- September 22, 2007 8:02 PM
- Katie said...
That was sooooo awesome! I love watching Mallet, Michigan's future looks bright! With Northwestern and Eastern the next two outings, they should give him the start and let Henne really heal that knee. Hart had strep throat and PLAYED like a STUD! He is THE best player in college football this year......he is a god! The defense was hot! Oh yeah, one more thing......It was LOUD in the house today!!! They did have the key play signs (also had make noise signs) and I actually HEARD keys today, I had not heard that before......it is the students though.......AND the crowd started the wave and the student section ignored it.....that was pretty funny (the south endzone booed the students...HA!) GO BLUE!!!!

honestly, michigan played one true freshman pocket qb and one in morelli that just isn't very smart or good.
- September 22, 2007 9:18 PM
- srudoff said...
also for what it's worth, the things that everyone is saying about Mallett after his first two games were being said about Henne when he came in for Navarre as a freshman, and look how that turned out.
i'm just sayin'
- September 22, 2007 9:22 PM
- Bill^2 said...
Agreed wholeheartedly with Katie -- just returned from the game, and it was as loud as I can ever recall it being at Michigan Stadium today, particularly on the final (We Own) Penn State possession. Section 14, which was mostly down even in the (decent) early going against Oregon, was more standing than sitting through the game today. It was nice to hear the crowd roar, and not just the student section.
- September 22, 2007 9:49 PM
- JukeBox said...
" AND the crowd started the wave and the student section ignored it.....that was pretty funny (the south endzone booed the students...HA!) GO BLUE!!!! "
Sorry on our part. We f*cked up. We were like, where did this wave come from, by the time we realized it, the wave kinda "skipped" over to the other side. We were totally unprepared. Our bad. But I lost my voice today. I've attended all the home games, this is the worst week for my throat. Guess I'm thinking that there'll be an offweek next week anyway when we go on the road to play NWestern.
Hail to "The Big LOUD House".
- September 22, 2007 10:16 PM
- Katie said...
The student section totally rocks! That wave went around twice, the first time I thought it just caught you all off guard, the second time though, it seemed intentional that you all ignored it. My bad! No matter how you cut it though, the big house would not be the same without the awesome student section!! Go Blue!

Random thoughts...
I don't want to overcredit the last two wins, but I this is certainly a Top 25 team.
We didn't go down the field once, today. Why?
Mallet looked good. In charge. Dare I ask...is there any question who starts when Henne is healthy?
When you're winning, even the cheerleaders look good.
Has there ever been a team more specifically built to compete in the Big Ten (and the Big Ten *only*)?
I don't care how we finish, Mike Hart has to be a Heisman candidate. 5'9" and unstoppable.
Was anybody else hearing the theme to Last of the Mohicans as Hart reached for that touchdown?
Other people saw those creepy JoePa and player masks, right? That didn't come out of my head, did it?
Nice to feel like Michigan again.
- September 22, 2007 10:37 PM
- JukeBox said...
as we renewed our ownership over the Nittany Lions, I'd like to point out that we actually chanted Mike Hart's name twice during the 4th quarter. He was on the sidelines when we did so, and he chased Minor away and took the field. It's amazing. I can't wait to see him in action again.
- September 22, 2007 10:44 PM
- 616goblue said...
The Big House was loud today! Especially that last Penn State possession!
Hart is THE MAN! See how dude limped off the field, PSU called timeout, he shook it off during the timeout and got another first down?
Was Lloyd trying to be Beyonce with his play calling today? "to the left, to the left, all I saw was Hart to the left..."
I swore on that 3rd and 11 in the 4th quarter I saw Mallet channel Bret Farve...avoided the sack, started to run then rifle a pass for a first down - was that amazing or what?
Katie, the folks in section 16 were laughing at the student section missing the wave - typically it is the alumni below the press box that take a time or two around the stadium to get with the program...
Hart is a true leader by example!
- September 22, 2007 11:51 PM
- Matt said...
A big fuck-you to Steve Greenberg of Sporting News who wrote some nasty things about Michigan this past week. In an obnoxious manner, he said that we will "hit the canvas" quickly because Penn State, Wisco, and OSU are "way better" than Michigan. He also dissed the fans. Take that, you little bitch.
- September 22, 2007 11:52 PM
- Matt said...
They were playing the theme from Gladiator. Big thanks to Mr. Crowe!
- September 22, 2007 11:55 PM
- JukeBox said...
hey 616,
Yeah, Hart to the left coz (I think) the right guard and tackle were injured in the 2nd quarter, and had to be carried off during halftime. I hope he's alright. I only recalled one of them being Mitchell, and the other number 70?
then there was the wave. OK, I am one of them that totally didn't realize that waves can actually start from the south side of the stadium. So I missed it... twice.
laugh as much as you like coz we're there to cheer the team on, make noise and not some fancy wave (or key play thingy) that's going on. =P.
well to some extent if we get laughed at by the other alumni/fans we'd feel worse than losing to Appy State lol.
that Mallet scramble + pass was just perfect. look on espn highlights, it shows what a QB can do.
- September 23, 2007 12:06 AM
- tcalero said...
If I'm not mistaken, the wave was started while Michigan was on defense. The reason it stopped is because we need to yell our faces off on defense, not worry about the wave.

As a Buckeye fan, I am glad to see TSUN pulling things together.
I do have a question though. Who the fuck was the dumb ass TB doing the "worm" at the end of the game.
That was fucking embarrassing to the entire B10.
To me, who lived through Cooper losing control of his team, it is a sure sign of Carr losing control of TSUN.
- September 23, 2007 12:09 AM
- JukeBox said...
It' true, I remember looking intently on the field during that time. I am usually more relaxed when we're on offense.
lol @ davin. I recall seeing someone doing the worm thing, but I don't remember who, I was too busy chanting (WE OWN) and (PENN STATE).
did anyone catch who was doing the worm? It's awesome. We should have the same guy doing the "worm" after we beat TOSU in November.

I was referencing that new Nike commercial with Sean Merriman and Steven Jackson. Jackson bulls a pack of Steelers up to the goal line and reaches through for the score...eerily reminiscent of Hart's TD run.

Jim - The creepy-ass JoePa guys? Yeah. You didn't dream them. I wish you had.

- JukeBox said...
darn. I got this from freep.
"Alex Mitchell left with a left knee injury in second quarter and was replaced by Jeremy Ciulla. Mitchell returned when Ciulla was injured later on the same series. Tim McAvoy came in at right guard to start the second half as Mitchell and Ciulla were in street clothes.…"
I hope they can start soon, hopefully by the Purdue game.

The students, or at least the ones who aren't freshmen or noobs, were mad that the rest of the fans would not follow tradition. The wave can only be started by the students on the north edge of the student section. (and it was going the wrong way) So when we saw the wave comming around, everyone was yelling to kill it.

It really is GREAT to be in conference. One more fluffer in EMU but thatwithstanding it's great to be a Mi-chi-gan Wol-ve-rine!!!

yeah I saw the signals to change the direction (or was it to split it?), but come on, we haven't got ONE successful wave since Northwestern last year?? wait or was it Ball State but they were at like our 5 yard line and we're just leading by 8 points and I thought, "why are we even doing this wave thing when we could be losing to Ball State?"
We should totally NOT kill a wave. It's fun and at least it's better timed than last week's. And it's kinda sad when the seniors get a wrongly timed wave started. Well I sort recalled Mallet looking over his shoulder last week wondering what's going on, when the wave was like propagating slowly to the southern sections.
The south part of the stadium is more successful at making waves coz it took them 2 tries to make 2 waves(+1). Student sections failed to start a wave like 3 times last weekend (-1) and failed to kill another 2 waves this weekend (-1). Admit it, we (the student section) suck. (and we didn't even try to make one wave the whole game, when the crowd obviously wants one.)
but our Boys in Blue is getting better every week.

the maize and blue faithful are in a collective good mood when the post game thread is mostly about "who starts the wave..." "what section of the stadium typically needs a couple of times to 'get it' that they need to do the wave..." "the south endzone thought the student section was going to do the 'slow wave' or 'split it' but it continued on in protest of the student section cuz they didnt start it in the first place..."
much more fun than the posts the first two weeks of the season!
BTW Yost, since the "healing pics" worked so well early in the season, how about more such inspirational pix to maintain the momentum?

Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova R-Pro Rhyno is an overstable putt and approach golf disc that can handle headwinds. Great for players with lots of throwing power as the Rhyno stops on a dime and stays close to the basket. It is a must have disc for short to medium up shots and putting into the wind. The Pro-line model is also called a "Soft" Rhyno and is made to be super soft and flexible in an extra grippy plastic that grabs the chains.
It is great for putting, short to medium drives, accurate approaches, and beginners. The Rhyno's Thumtrac gives it a sure grip and reliable performance in any situation.
Speed 2, Glide 1, Turn 0, Fade 3
About Pro plastic in general - it starts out being slightly less overstable. Pro discs are more durable than DX. They provide more grip than Champion. They provide more glide than DX, Champion and Star. They retain flight characteristics longer than DX. They range from firm to extremely soft and flexible.
About R-Pro plastic - its special blend of plastic provides maximum grip with increased flexibility in all weather. They are more flexible and consistently softer at low temperatures than most Pro blends. This makes R-Pro ideal for cold weather play. R-Pro Drivers are stiffer while Mid-Range and Approach discs are more flexible.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Pro colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.
|150 Class - 175 grams
|Champion Dyed
"...isn't just for putting, I throw most of my short mid-range shots with this disc. It is an awesome sidearm approach disc too."
If you want a golf disc with
more Glide, try the Birdie
more Turn, try the XD
more Fade, try the Viper
Other Speed 2 discs include the Classic Aviar, Aviar Driver, KC Aviar, JK Aviar, Yeti Pro Aviar, Aviar.

Letting assumptions into Hall voting a slippery slope
Since there's no way to know all the users, judgment is reduced to a guessing game
By Richard Justice
I'm perfectly fine with keeping steroid users out of the Hall of Fame if someone will just point them out to me.
Go ahead. I'll wait.
Only thing is, be fair.
If you're going to finger one steroid user, be sure you finger 'em all.
Barry Bonds?
Roger Clemens?
If keeping Bonds and Clemens out of the Hall of Fame will keep steroids out of the Hall of Fame, let's lock the door on them.
On the other hand, if steroid use was rampant, then how do we know who used and who didn't?
Maybe Bonds and Clemens just got unlucky. Maybe they got noticed while dozens of others will be rewarded with baseball's highest honor because they got away with doing the same things Bonds and Clemens are supposed to have done.
Maybe this whole character/morality thing has become too fuzzy. Maybe it always was.
One voter told me he wouldn't vote for Clemens, Bonds, McGwire, etc., because he has too much respect for the game.
Oh, Lord, scoop out my eyes with a plastic spoon. There are few things sportswriters enjoy more than preaching about right and wrong.
I love Craig Biggio. He defines Hall of Famer any way you want to define it. He was never fingered as a steroid user, either. Never failed a test. Never was named in a criminal investigation. Never was accused by anyone, as far as I know.
I have no idea whether Craig Biggio used steroids or not, and none of the people who are voting for him know, either. They may think they know. They don't.
And that guy who said he had too much respect for the game to vote for Bonds and Clemens doesn't, either.
Still, Biggio may be a first-ballot inductee while his longtime teammate, Jeff Bagwell, may be passed over again, even though he put up better numbers than Biggio. But there's a perception that Biggio is clean and that Bagwell used steroids, even though Bagwell has never been connected with the drugs except by getting big and hitting home runs.
This is silly. It's one thing potentially not to vote for a guy named in the Mitchell Report. Or a guy named in a criminal investigation.
But it seems insane not to vote for a guy because he fits the profile of a steroid user. I mean, he may have used steroids, but we really don't know, so let's leave him out just in case. That's a shaky standard, and if it's the one we're using, it's going to be difficult to vote for a lot of guys.
I don't like the idea of steroid users standing up there with Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron on induction Sunday, either. Honestly, it kind of makes me sick.
But this is what happens when performance-enhancing drugs enter a sport. It's in all of them, not just baseball, by the way. Everyone falls under the umbrella of suspicion.
Our choices as voters are:
Vote for the best players and stop playing the guessing game regarding steroids.
Stop voting.
Pretend you know more than you do and are protecting the game by not voting for Bonds and Clemens.
Steroid use is not a gray area. To use steroids, a player has to find a dealer. In doing this, he has to break the law. He knows he's breaking the law, too. He also knows he is putting his reputation on the line.
Yes, there was a culture in which it was OK. Players believed their union would protect them, and until 2002, it did just that.
There was also peer pressure. If some of the best players on earth had to use steroids, then the average -- even the above-average -- player probably felt he had to use them, too.
What about the 25th or 26th guy on the roster? He might be the guy with a family who's trying to avoid another year in the Minor Leagues, or he might be trying to do just enough to score one significant contract to pay off the mortgage.
"It's a huge moral dilemma for a lot of guys," Brad Ausmus once said.
It cuts many different ways.
"So I show up at Spring Training after working my tail off all winter," Luke Scott once said, "and the guy at the locker next to me has added 15 pounds of muscle. I know how he did it. He knows how he did it.
"But he comes in and has a great spring and you guys write all this great stuff about him, and the organization falls in love with him. No one cares how he added the muscle."
That's the thing about Clemens. His competitive fires raged, and if there was a substance that allowed him to get better, to continue being the best, Clemens was probably going to have a tough time sorting out his ambition and his judgment.
Does that make him a bad guy? We want players to care about their teams as much as we care about them. We want them to pay the price, whatever that price is. In the past couple of decades, science has given players options that players from previous generations never had.
What would Willie Mays and Hank Aaron have done if the same options were available? That doesn't make steroid use right, but it's a great temptation for people who are driven to be the best.
Did they think they would be disgraced if they were found out? They probably only looked around and said, "I've gotta keep up."
A few years ago, when Commissioner Bud Selig asked his historian, Jerome Holtzman, to look into baseball's different eras to try to figure out steroids' place in the larger history of the game, Holtzman heard stories that players were injecting themselves with various substances in the 1950s.
They probably weren't getting a competitive advantage out of it, but the intent to cheat was there.
It's all too cloudy. I love the Hall of Fame. I think of it as a sacred place in terms of this game we all love.
I also know Clemens and Bagwell and Biggio and McGwire. They were really good players. They were also part of a generation of players fueled in part by steroids.
We will never know who used and who didn't. I'm tired of the guessing game. I feel it's insidious.
So I'm voting for the best players. Here are the names I checked: Bagwell, Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Edgar Martinez, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, Tim Raines, Curt Schilling and Alan Trammell.
I didn't vote for Kenny Lofton, Fred McGriff, McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Mike Piazza, Sammy Sosa and Larry Walker because I ran out of space on my ballot. There's a case to be made for all of them.
