Bonds tested positive......

......BIG FREAKIN' DEAL!!!! This is NOT news! According to Sports Illustrated, the Glossy Lipped one himself, A-Roid ALSO tested positive. The article goes on to say that 104 major leaguers tested positive. So why is the gub'ment so focused on Bonds? Because he was the surliest? Because of his obliterating of the most sacred of records? It has become personal to those prosecuting this case and when the smoke has cleared, will MLB be drug free? Will sending possibly the greatest player of this generation to the can be enough of a deterrent to stop the next generation's super star? All the while Bud Selig sits idly by giving the illusion that all is fine. All is not fine. This investigation puts the nail in the last legitimacy that MLB had to it's claim as America's Pastime. Instead, we endure story after story of athletes and their alleged abuse of steriods. Something EVERYONE already knew. Not even the folks at WWE get as much ink in the press regarding 'roids. All under Mr. Selig's watch. Putting Bonds in the clink and possibly the Rocket next will cement the NFL's place in America's living room as the new favorite pasttime. So while Selig does all he can to protect the owners and management, who undoubtedly knew that at least some players, the Canseco's of MLB, were on the Juice, a greater more destructive fate now dooms MLB as the also ran in fans hearts. A distant second to the NFL. The only thing keeping it from sliding down to third of course is the NBA and it's braintrust rolling out such innovations as the All Star dunk contest and the just added, All Star Horse Game. MLB will be the loser should Bonds go down. It already has to be honest. The only thing that this investigation does, is remind us of how Selig and the other owners enabled the players and sold their souls all for the quick buck, the Renaissance of sorts, following the damage done by the lockout of the 80's. Yes, those nights watching Sosa and McGuire and later Bonds set records thought to be untouchable were magical. They brought back memories of dog days of yore. "Legitimate" records such as Maris' 61, Ruth and Aarons mammoth home runs and Lou Gehrig's Iron Man career were brought back to the national stage. Now the curtain has been pulled back and there stands the man pulling the strings. Thats right. The highest paid man in MLB. Bud Selig.
