Clap,

Major League Baseball is killing itself right now. Everything about the game is overtly about money, which is how the whole steroid mess came about from the beginning. All of those guys will get whatever they deserve.

I'm helping coach my 9-year-old's softball team right now (though they've had more games rained out than played so far). Its hilarious. She pitches an inning each game, and has the demeanor (a scowl) down pat as she goes into her delivery. About 1 in 5 pitches is a strike; no matter, each time she throws a strike, she gets a huge smile and practically throws her arms up in celebration. As I watch, I can't help but think that these truly are the best days of our lives.

Bud Selig is realizing that many fans will leave pro baseball unless the droids are stopped from playing.
Who here even wants to watch Bonds at bat? That's as close to pro-wrestling as it gets.
Bud is even considering negating their stats.
That would be grand. He's waiting for the investigations by congress to complete.
