Mark McGwire's Brother is a Scumbag

ESPN - A new book proposal, submitted by the admittedly estranged brother of Mark McGwire, claims the former major league slugger used both steroids and human growth hormone during his career. In the proposal, first reported Wednesday on Deadspin.com, Jay McGwire alleges that Mark used Deca-Durabolin and that he introduced Mark to performance-enhancing drugs in 1994. The McGwire brothers reportedly haven't spoken to each other for years. The book, "The McGwire Family Secret: The Truth about Steroids, a Slugger and Ultimate Redemption," is reportedly being sent by Jay McGwire to several publishing houses in New York. Deadspin.com said that it has been turned down by "many" publishers. "Mark is a man I think most would like to forgive because his reason wasn't nefarious -- it was for survival," he wrote, according to the proposal. "My bringing the truth to surface about Mark is out of love. I want Mark to live in truth to see the light, to come to repentance so he can live in freedom -- which is the only way to live. "

Alright Jay McGwire can cut the shit with the "This is out of love and repentance and shining light blah blah blah." EVERYBODY knows you're in it for the money, dude. Everybody. There can't be a single person in the world who really thinks Jay McGwire is heartlessly throwing his estranged brother under the bus "out of love." Yeah, love of a million dollar publishing deal maybe. And I can understand why the publishing companies are pushing this away like its a poop-on-a-stick. Because EVERYBODY knows Mark McGwire used steroids. Everybody. There can't be a single person who really thinks McGwire blew up like a balloon and starting jacking 600 ft homers 65 times a season based on a strict pilates program. This is probably the reason the greatest slugger of the 1990's can't even get 15% of the Hall-of-Fame vote let alone the required 75%. There is nothing startling or remotely intriguing about a "Mark McGwire Used Steroids" book. Now if it was about how McGwire threw steroid parties with Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and a handful of transvestite strippers, maybe it'd be worth a book deal... but not based on this lame-o 'exclusive'. I guarantee that Jay McGwire's estrangement and this book deal are because McGwire wasn't giving him money back then or now. Well Jay McGwire wasn't wowing America in a heated homerun chase with Sammy Sosa was he? So he can piss off, he never deserved money from Mark McGwire and certainly doesn't now.
