Here's how one writer explained it yesterday on a talk show:

He will vote for Bonds and Clemens because they would have got there without the juice.

He won't vote for McGwire because he wouldn't even be taken seriously for Cooperstown but for his steroid inflated numbers. Same for Palmeiro.

No matter how strong steroids made Clemens, he still had to have the stuff to get hitters out. Even if steroids gave you the 98 mph fastball, you still had to throw it with movement and with location, and be able to throw your off speed pitch for strikes.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
