Mark McGwire's New Job Making Things Just A Little Bit Awkward

And not I'm not even talking about the headline here: "Cardinals Wrestling with McGwire’s Coming Out." That's not the awkward part! The awkward part is that, as CTSB writes, Mark McGwire can't spend every single day of spring training ducking media questions about his potentially steroid-infused past. Or can he? That's what Cardinals GM John Mozeliak seems a little bit confused by:

“There is going to be a wide range of what people are hoping to hear.  For me personally, we’re not there yet as far as what it’s going to look like,” Mozeliak said about an eventual press conference. ”Hopefully in the next week or so we can work through that.

“Clearly my energy is focused on players and looking at how to improve our 2010 team. Understanding that, the McGwire situation has to be recognized. I don’t have a timetable yet on when we’re going to do things or how we’re going to do them. But it’s not something we’re ignoring or hoping will go away.”

Which means that in a few months, Mark McGwire will talk about the past. I can only hope it goes as well as that time he talked about the future.
