That 'liquor store' comment was disgusting. Period.

ON topic, I saw those milk ads on ESPNEWS. I know if I were MLB, I wouldn't be very amused. Nice satire and all, but the last thing baseball needs is the steroids controversy getting rehashed every minute.

You continue to prove you're an idiot in new ways every day...

Hi, Mr Scumbag....

No Liquor Stores to rob tonight i guess...

Hey, I take offense to that! I may be a scumbag, but I stopped robbing liquor stores a long time ago, damn it!

Pimpin' ain't easy, but it sure is fun!

Pimpin' ain't easy, but it's necessary.

That's why I chase ho's like Tom chased Jerry.

That's a good add. MLB deserves what they get. They have better things to concern themselves with (competitive balance) than who has amusing satirical adds.

I love the b/w locker room photo of the two players "caught with the substance."

Well done.

And Tank, even if you don't like the add, give ESPN.com some credit. They can get MUCH lower than this. :D

MLB officials have come out and said they don't not like these ads, as they should. With the image problem baseball is suffering with steroids right now, the last thing you want to do is remind or hint at steroid use. These ads are nothing to laugh at and they do MLB an injustice. When you're trying to grow this game and recover from major steroid scandals, ads like these do nothing but set your efforts back.

Also, this is not necessarily the doing of espn.com. Actually, the milk people were the ones who created this ad, so blame them for reaching "a new low." The milk people have the right to make any sort of commercial they want, but then again MLB has the right to speak out against milk commercials, too. MLB took a PR hit with the steroid controversies and these milk ads only make things worse.
