Baseball Should Come Clean

With the recent leak of yet two more individuals from the list of players who tested positive for steroids in the 2003 voluntary test survey, it is my belief that baseball is slowly killing itself. The problem is, I'm not sure they realize it. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz are the two that were announced on July 30, and who's next to be buzz-sawed? I think someone in the commissioner's office needs to convince Bud Selig to gather up everyone on that list who hasn't already been mentioned, and get their permission (it was completely voluntary, after all) to make the entire list available to the public, let the media have their fun, and get it over and done with. People will eventually forget about it, we can all move on, and baseball can go on refurbishing its reputation as being the grandest game in the world. It seems that just when baseball is at its best and people stop thinking of it as a dirty game, another name gets released, and they are back to square one. I've heard it said that all they want to do is move on with the testing they have in place (which is too lenient) and forget about the past, and doing this will foil any effort by whomever the snitch is to sully the great sport of baseball.
