If I recall correctly, since the late ninteies Selig was actually fighting the Union trying to get <I>more</I> drug testing for the players while the union fought tooth and nail to avoid it. Nobody in the media seemed to really care too much either way back then which is funny. Hell, it was the <I>ball</I> that was juiced *wink wink*. At least we were seeing 70+ home run seasons and that's all anyone cared about then.

Now, how much could Selig really have done? Probably more. The guy is a used car salesman afterall.

I agree. The fact is that even strong suspicion is not proof and other than pushing for more testing what would be expected of him? Looking at someone who is very muscular and then saying, "Oh, that guy *has* to be on steroids" is irresponsible slander if he doesn't have some sort of proof to back it up. Scapegoating him doesn't fix the problem.

Yah, that's my mildly educated opinion of it. nt

Lokain January 15, 2008 11:22AM

Java January 15, 2008 11:34AM

Lokain January 15, 2008 11:41AM

I'm not sure what you're referring to...

Ill take the blame for a poorly phrased question

hopelessdwarf January 15, 2008 12:38PM

I think that's an unfair question...

Java January 16, 2008 02:12AM

To me its a matter of integrity/whistleblowing

hopelessdwarf January 16, 2008 08:28AM

How about a "Who is Bud Selig?" option?

Rade January 15, 2008 09:38AM

Option added. We can do that apparently :D nt

Yhorian(VIP) January 15, 2008 04:30PM

Cool. I've changed my vote to that. nt

He's been the commish of baseball for a long time n/t

hopelessdwarf January 15, 2008 10:20AM

He sounded like some American, so I voted guilty for good measure. nt
