Not especially.

"It is ludicrous to suggest that yesterday's sad revelation has any bearing whatsoever on the Red Sox' world championships in 2004 and 2007. Those titles are not tainted, no matter what the hypocritical Yankees fan in the next cubicle over tries to claim. To even suggest as much is to admit that you not only have a personal agenda in this (a deep dislike or jealousy of the Red Sox, for starters) or a complete lack of perspective regarding what will be recorded as baseball's Steroid Era."

if one is tainted, then they're all tainted.


"The Red Sox' championships are tainted? Really? Then I guess that applies to -- let's see -- pretty much every other World Series winner of the Steroid Era."

Yes, of course.

But, let me guess: You're going to fixate on Clemens, Pettitte, and even Jason Grimsley while conveniently ignoring Manny, Ortiz, Trot Nixon, Jason Varitek, and Pedro Martinez.


"For the sport of it, let's quickly zip through the list, starting in 1995 after the players' strike through the Red Sox' victory in 2004, and see how many of those 10 teams have had a player implicated for performance-enhancing drug use at some point:"

All of them, including the Red Sox.

"So there you go. If the Sox' titles are tainted, then so is every single World Series in a 10-year stretch up until their victory. Especially the Yankees' last two championships."

Not especially the Yankees.  That's an ignorant stance.  It demonstrates that you have a personal agenda in this or a complete lack of perspective regarding what will be recorded as baseball's Steroid Era.
