While everyone was busy being shocked -SHOCKED! - that Alex Rodriguez used steroids at the height of the Steroids Era in baseball during his tenure on a team that apparently used the same trainer as Ivan Drago in Rocky 5, you may have missed an even more surprising nugget.  A-Rod's name was one on a list of 104 players who tested positive for steroids in the not-so-confidential test in 2003.  104 players.  One hundred and four. Think about that for a second.

And guess what? It is just a matter of time before that list becomes public.  So, rather than spending your nights weeping over the lost innocence of your childhood game, let's try to have some fun here, okay? OKAY? I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE TEARS, BASEBALL.

Let's have a Steroids Pool. Here are the rules (if you've ever participated in a Death Pool, these rules will sound familiar to you).

• Submit a list of up to 15 names (send them to me here with the subject line "Steroid Pool"). 
  
• Once the list is made public, if you correctly identify a player on the list, you get one point.
• If nobody else picked that name, then you get three points.

So there will be obvious choices (Bonds, Giambi, uh, A-Rod), but also some incentive to pick a less obvious name.

There is no deadline for this contest, because there is no official deadline for the list to be released.  Winners will be announced when the list becomes public.  But don't delay - I think that might be sooner rather than later.
