Now we know who'll take down #3 at Busch

[Bleacher Creature]

From Bernie's Bits:

For their final five regular-season games at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals have enlisted an impressive lineup to tear down the Busch countdown number in right field: Pujols (No. 5), Marty Marion (4), Mark McGwire (3), Red Schoendienst (2) and Ozzie Smith (1).

Interesting..............

Let the booing ensue.

I don't understand why anyone would choose to boo him. Mark was only following the script set down by the power brokers at MLB to stoke up the fan intrest in a game that was on the last of its nine lives, following the disaster in 1994.

I agree, I have ZERO problem with roids and the players that did and are doing them, but for all of this towns ripping of other big name "accused" roid users, I think many will boooo Mr. McGwire

I didn't know Marty Marion was still alive.

I could tell you why people would boo McGwire, but I'm not here to talk about the past.

Bud Selig, Don Fehr, and all thirty two MLB club owners need to be booed.

Make America Great For Once.

Sounds good. Are they taking down any numbers at Busch though?

Dude. Can. Fly.

I'll tell you why McGwire might get booed. He's a liar, a cheat and he's not a very loyal friend unlike his "friend" TLR. TLR has stood up for the guy and look how he treats him. If he did roids, stand up like a man and admit it. If you didn't, say so. Very easy. I know that baseball "encouraged" it through their no action while the turnstiles turned but the bottom line is be a man. Don't cower behind that "I don't want to talk about the past" crap.

Why make McGwire the scapegoat for a cooperate standard?

[davhaf]

Why the hell would you boo Mark? I hate to beat a dead horse, but it's not about McGwire, It's about Busch. Are they going to boo Hernandez? Cocaine is much worse than 'roids. I've never done 'roids, but coke damn near ruined my life. I would cheer my ass of if I was lucky enough to be there.

Mark didn't do himself any favors with his remarks before Congress, that I'll concede. I don't know if he was told by MLB legal counsel to clam up, or what.

[jusse]

He was a flipping stud in 98....nuff said. Its a day for the Cards and Bush and the Fans. He doesn't even have the homerun record ...... booo birds relax.

Amen to that.

[jhuegy]

I didn't say I would boo him, I just said that is why some people might boo him. I'm a Cardinal fan first and foremost, I would personally ignore him. Same as I do for TLR. I respect and appreciate TLR but I just think he is a jinx when it comes to postseason results, that's all. I will be there on Saturday and I will cheer like crazy for every Cardinal there but I will ignore McGwire. I just don't appreciate his ways after all the fans and the team did for him. I still say that Andro crap was a easy way for him to get suspicious writers off the trail. I think he planted it there and made a big deal about the writer "snooping" in his locker. Then everybody would think, "Oh, Big Mac doesn't do roids"! I call bullshit. I'll ignore the liar and cheat.
