Disgusted with Bonds?

[FRPLG]

I agree with SmootSmack that this is compliacted. While I do think it is wrong that Bonds is now going to break this record chiefly because he took steroids there is a lot of me that thinks that a huge amount of players were doing this and to single out Bonds just because of who he is and what he is doing is unfair. Considering that a large amount of players were doing this one could argue that to compete a player HAD to do this. Now it is complicated. I blame the players in general for creating the atmosphere where streoid use was not only acceptable but almost requires. I blame MLB for doing nothing to stop it. Performance enhancement has been in baseball for decades but I think it is time they start getting rid of all this legacy crap and move into the 21st century when it comes to how to operate the sport.

One thing everyone needs to remember is that baseball is FAR FAR FAR different in the way it is run than any other sport. Due to that matter in which it was organized and started it is much more loosely managed from a central source(MLB). It is almost like all the teams are totaly separate and operate alone. This means that MLB itself is very weakened. This is the way it has always been. I think Selig is pathetic but when was the last time MLB had a perceived good commisioner? Yeah it has been decades because the owners work to keep the commissioner relatively weak compared to other commisioners. It is time they started operating this like one business instead of 32 separate ones. Then issues like steroids can get weeded out by a strong central fiugure without fear of being fired.
