I saw Bud Selig on a show and they asked what happens to McGuire's record now that congress has outlawed Andro. SElig said "nothing he isn't guilty of anything. Noone has been found guilty of anything in court."

I sat and smiled to myself, because 84 years ago a man sat down with 8 Chicago White Sox and told them they were banned for life. They were found innocent in court. BUT in Judge Kenesaw Landis' eyes those men were responsible for people losing faith in the game.

What Selig and the union are doing today is far worse than what those 8 men did to the game. Far worse than what Pete Rose ever did to the game.

For Selig and the union have made a mockery out of the records that baseball has built itself upon.

Selig and the union have thumbed their respective noses to the fans and allowed their own greed and power trips to affect the very fabric of the game. They have destroyed the integrity and the beauty of the game. They are guilty of the highest crime that a sport can commit and that is allowing its players to use substances illegal to the general public.

Hell even the WWE is stricter on drug use and that should tell the MLB and union something.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
