So cheating to win is okay, just not cheating to lose (if Rose actually did that.) That is an odd definition of intregity. Yes, cheating to win is much different from "cheating to lose." And cheating to win is not OK, by definition (if it were it wouldn't be cheating). Cheating to win affects balance of the competition. Cheating to lose affects the honesty of the competition. Not the honesty of the players, but the honesty of the competition. That's why MLB is concerned about it. They want a sport where teams are trying to win. They don't want All-Star Wrestling. |

I was kind of thinking of "director of recruiting" for Mick Haley....we could send him to Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. and let him look for true amateur VB players ;D  Or you could send Brian G to Germany, not that anything good came out in his last 2 recruits from there. ;D |
