Today Congress questions MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, Special Investigator George Mitchell, and Players Union Boss (and slimy weasel) Donald Fehr, on the Steroid-Asterisk era in baseball. It should be interesting, if only to watch Selig & Fehr both dance and weave around questions regarding their seeming do-nothing stance for YEARS on the use of steorids by players in baseball.

Carol Slezak in today’s Sun-Times asks an interesting question of baseball fans, more specifically Cubs fans, and the anger and angst that is being debated regarding the Cubs pursuit of (one-time ha-ha-ha) steroid user Brian Roberts of the Baltimore Orioles.

What do you think? Should the Cubs take the moral high ground and back-off any deals with known steroid or HGH abusers?

I would argue the Cubs don’t need Roberts, simply because they have a good, dependable player in Mark DeRosa, and trading Marshall & Gallagher in a potential Roberts deal could be a big mistake if the #4 (Marquis) and probable #5 (Dempster) pitchers falter.
