Bonds just hit #755 in SD to mixed reviews by the crowd |
|
Bud Selig just stood there.
Some applause, but more boos from the crowd.
And to think that Roger Maris got an asterisk for his 61st.

5. MLB is corrupt... when the owners allowed Selig to be acting commissioner |
|
while they were determining who would replace the previous commissioner. Selig was the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers while this was happening. I believe a family member is the current owner of the Brewers.

13. Bud Selig oversaw the steroid era in baseball |
|
So yes, he should have been there to see what he helped bring about. In '98, damn near everyone was celebrating McGwire and Sammy, including me. Hell, Sosa even won MVP that year. And of course, the allegations are that he was juiced too. So since Selig likely knew and did nothing, in fact celebrated it, he should indeed be there. And whether one likes Bonds or not, he still has to actually hit the ball, one of the hardest feats in sports. One more thing, when are Clemens, Ryan, and other pitchers who are well over 40 and still throwing 90 plus going to be brought into the conversation about cheating? Clemens has a history of erratic behavior. Was (is) it 'roids? Let's find out. Ryan actually got better as he aged. Was he juiced as well? Again, let's find out. Let's leave no doubt. And let's expell Ty Cobb from the HoF. He was a vile racist and undeniably a miserable human being.

2. Bonds was a total jerk in Pittsburgh. |
|
Plus he was half the size he is now.

15. Looking forward to 756, hope it happens in SF. Hope he reaches 800. |

It's a child's game. I wish some of the people who are so pissed off about this game were equally pissed off about homelessness, people living without health care, the war in Iraq, etc. You know, the things that matter.

21. Or lies about the "screw-up" repeatedly, and cheats into the history books? |
|
Nah, cheaters should be applauded, apparently.

After all the hype about Bond catching Aaaron.. I'm really not all up in a hoopla about it like I thought I would be. I guess I accepted it was inevitable and that's that.
Why did Maris get an asterisk? Was it cause he had more games than Ruth did?

14. That asterisk showed in the record books for 30 years. |
|
IIRC, it disappeared in the Age of Steroids.

16. With all the other crap going on that you can get pissed off about |
|
who gives a flyin fuck how many home runs Bonds hits? Is it more important than the Dems folding and giving bush new spy powers? More improtant than highways and bridges falling apart? More important than all the $ we're spending in fuckin Eyerack?
Is Bonds anymore of an immoral individual than Babe Ruth a notorious womanizer? Or Ty Cobb, a vicious racist and rule breaker?
I'll wake up the day he breaks the record, read about it in the paper and not give a fuck. Just like 1 billion Chinese.
