TV Sports: Rick Sutcliffe talks about Rafael Palmiero

I've been flicking channels all evening and came across the Cardinals-Marlins game on ESPN and Rick Sutcliffe, former big league pitcher and now color commentator, was discussing the announcement of Rafael Palmiero's suspension for testing positive for a banned substance. Palmiero's been accused of being a steroid-taker, most notably by Jose Canseco, and his denials before Congress a few months ago now sound incredibly stupid. Anyway, ESPN has covered the steroid scandal closely, but in the last few months, it's been on the back burner for them, especially since Barry Bonds has been out all season. But you've got to give Sutcliffe credit for saying that Palmiero's excuses and lack of candor are ridiculous and taking baseball to task for not having a tougher steroid policy. Tonight's entire broadcast (so far) has done a good job of not burying the story within the game. Hopefully, they'll keep digging for more facts and keep reporting the information to fans on all of their broadcasts.
