A new low for ESPN.com

[Saintsfan]

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.

Someone else needs to get a sense of humour.

More than anything I like the subtle message that its not just illegal stuff that will improve your performance.

Personally, the MLB deserves to made fun of. They're the ones who focus on stats, then suspend someone for trying to pump theirs up.

MLB is also the league that winked and looked the other way when 160-pound midgets like Lenny Dykstra came to spring training 30 pounds bigger and started crushing balls everywhere. And the league that ignores Barry Bonds' expanding cranium, Ken Caminiti's death and increased number of ligament and tendon injuries (with steroids, muscles get bigger, but the tendons that anchor them to bone stay the same). Of course, it's also the league that couldn't compel its union leadership to protect their own with meaningful steroid legislation, forcing Congress to step in.

Must be the money...
