Selig always looks like he's just about to drool to me.

Bud Selig's response on steroids: Too much, too late philly.com Rich Hofmann wrote an excellent column on baseball's absurd investigation into steroid abuse. Simply put, Bud Selig's entire tenure has been marked by avoiding important issues, then overreacting when he's forced into a decision. The whole notion of revoking or putting asterisks on records is also ridiculous. Should green asterisks then be placed on records set by the countless amphetamine abusers in the sport's history and white asterisks be put on records prior to the time when the league was finally integrated? Should the Phillies' last National League title be taken away because Lenny Dykstra was (by many accounts) a walking chemistry set at the time? Similarly, should the names of Brady Anderson, Bret Boone, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and so many more people accused of substance abuse be removed from all the recorded histories of the game? There's plenty of blame to go around for the head-in-the-sand approach to steroids in baseball over the last 20 years. At a minimum, the players involved, the union, management, owners, the commissioner's office and, yes, the media members covering the sport, are all certainly culpable. Bill Toomey, Newark, Del.
