– Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports.com, lamenting the lack of offense this season.
Of course almost exactly one year ago Doyel was writing about how steroids have “chipped away at the sports’ soul” over the course of one of the more ridiculously faux-outraged column I’ve seen since I started blogging about baseball. Seriously: read last year’s piece and then read today’s and tell me that the guy has ever had a coherent thought in his life.

Don’t worry Doyel (can I call him Doilie?), the money and the players create the demand for PEDs and science will be demanded to come up with something new to plague sports. Then new tests will be demanded to stop the new drugs. These things are cyclical. Get it? Cyclical? Cycling? Anyone? Bueller?

Can he get anymore “bad boy” than that tough-guy mugshot? $20 says he’s also wearing an Affliction t-shirt.

Reduce the humidifier by 5 percent, HRs will go up 25 to 50 percent.

Craig, if you’re looking for the pro-steroids perspective, I’ve got ALL YOU CAN HANDLE.

I’ll go ahead and defend Doyel. Yes, he does over the top more often than not. But he also does have serious columns and can even be, dare I say, genuine. He is in danger of becoming a caricature of himself, however, not unlike Chris Berman. Having met him and worked with him, I know a lot of the bluster is an act. But he gets paid to be just that.

Even if he’s trying to get a rise out of people, he makes some good points. Home runs created a different atmosphere around the game, and on TV, where most people experience baseball. Baseball’s owners probably miss the buzz created from the highlight shows created by Home Runs.
