You did, but I'm not going to get into this. Are you implying that steroid use wasn't rampant in 1998, 1999, and 2000? That's when it was at it's peak.
All of the teams in the majors had juicing players, and you can't fault the team for the actions of individuals.

The actions of players really only tarnishes individual stats and accomplishments, or the sport as a whole.
You can't pick and choose what rings and wins count seeing as players from both sides were using steroids. That includes pitchers.

We can boo A Rod and Ortiz and assault their character all we want. That's fair as fans. But I've never once heard fans start going after teams as a whole, which is ridiculous.
If you're going to do that, you have to apply it to the entire steroid era. That goes back to the early 90s.
