Former MLB player and current radio show host Jack Clark went on a tirade Friday where he once again accused Pujols of taking performance-enhancing drugs. Unfortunately for Clark, who had his gig as a radio show co-host for less than a week, the remarks cost him his job.

Less than a day after saying Pujols used steroids earlier in his career as fact, Clark has been fired from WGNU.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

"Clark has brought Pujols’ situation up at least twice already on the air. The first time, after Slaten said last Friday that he long has believed that Pujols “has been a juicer,” Clark jumped in before Slaten finished his thought and said, “I know for a fact he was. The trainer that worked with him, threw him batting practice from Kansas City, that worked him out every day, basically told me that’s what he did.”"

Clark has learned quickly that you can’t just go spouting off at the mouth and saying whatever you want to say when there is a microphone in front of you.

Sure, he may have been told that Pujols used steroids in the past, but without any real evidence he is just another talking head that was crying wolf. Now, he can go cry wolf in silence.
