Ron Cook: Let's give drug cheat Starling Marte the benefit of the doubt

Related Topics: Starling Marte, Ron Cook

So how are you going to react to seeing Starling Marte when he strolls onto the PNC Park lawn Tuesday night for the first time since he was busted for steroids? I have a suggestion: Boo Marte when he is introduced before the game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Boo him even more loudly when he is introduced before his first at-bat. Then, get over it.

No need to thank me.

Marte needs to know you are disgusted with him. He sabotaged the Pirates' season with his 80-game suspension for using a performance-enhancing drug. Who knows where the team would be if it had him all season?
