I listened to Greg Papa on the radio this morning and heard him really tearing into MLB for what happened.
As a Giants fan and Dodger detractor (certainly during the Lasorda Years), I think this is a minor blip story.
Baseball managed to get through a season and a World Series (and a pretty darn good one, to boot), and The Sanctimonious - you know, those who objected to baseball even trying to have a season - need to rail on about something. On cue, enter Turner.
With the testing on-site, I actually think the ability to track/trace, if necessary, is there.
(Somehow I doubt that Turner gave the Rays' family member the virus . . . but hey! Maybe that itself is another scandal!).
I'm with Teejers on this -- the Turner story is closer to a minor blip than a scandal. Turner was irresponsible, but he already had been exposed that same evening to the teammates with whom he was celebrating. Turner will probably get suspended for a few games and this will be viewed as a minor transgression by most people, aside from those who hate the Dodgers and are looking for something to gripe about (and I realize there are a lot of Dodger-haters on this board!)
Turner. Steroids. Now this.....
