Bud Selig will attend Bonds's Games
From foxsports.com
"Throughout this season, I have watched Barry Bonds' pursuit of the home run record. Now that he is on the verge of tying the record, the time has come to announce that I will make every attempt to attend the record-setting moment," Selig said in a statement Tuesday.
"Out of respect for the tradition of this game, the magnitude of the record, and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven guilty, I will attend Barry Bonds' next games to observe his potential tying and breaking of the home run record, subject to my commitments to the Hall of Fame this weekend."
Bud will be in Cooperstown for the HOF induction ceremony on Sunday. If Bonds hasn't broken the record by then, I expect him to be off on Sunday.

"Grass is greener on my side"
While PETA often undermines its message with its theatrics, there central message remains a valid one - animals should be treated humanely. What Wick is accused of doing (and there seems to be a tremendous amount of evidence against him), is hundreds of times worse than anyone cheating on a game!
It will be interesting to see if the media will grab onto that story with the same ferocity as they have the Bonds steroids case...

Re: "Grass is greener on my side"
There is a huge thesis comparing the celebrity of Jordan to the infamy of Bonds in a society of racial tensions.

Re: Bud Selig will attend Bonds's Games
So, here is the Van Smack statement to the Commissioner of Baseball:
Enjoy the game(s). Please respect security by moving from the archway in right field when asked. It is requested that the minute Barry hits 756, you hail a cab, go directly to the airport and get the hell out of town.

Re: Bud Selig will attend Bonds's Games
While I agree with you, I'm finding it a tad bit difficult to listen to anything you have to say with a handle like that.
WAR BARRY BONDS, WAR TOPEKA TOURSTOP
RACK HIM
Blah!

Re: Bud Selig will attend Bonds's Games
You of all people, who plotted the overthrow of Bart Giammetti's esteemed successor, Faye Vincent in a secret clandestine meeting in the basement of a Chicago hotel. You who, schemed and connived your way into the commissioners job for your own personal financial gain? You who presided over the first and only cancellation of the World Series in the 130 plus years of MLB--a feat not even Hitler, Hirihito, and Mussolini combined could accomplish. You who went in front of Congress in 1994 and lied about expansion. You, who took in the same Sandy Alderson who helped institute the "21st Century" sports conditioning and medical treatment in the Oakland A's clubhouse of Canseco and Mcgwire, to usher in the so-called "steroid era". The same Sandy Alderson who you made your right hand man when he was done in Oakland? You who appointed George Mitchell, notorious player-hater, to be a "special investigative commissioner" to supposedly "restore the integrity" of the game. You who sat like a tree stump in your own taxpayer funded house of ill-repute and declared ASG a "tie", rather than demand that "the show must go on." ...home field advantage in the World Series indeed! A more poignant example of baseball ignorance does not exist in this universe you hack! It is those actions that somehow empowers you with the moral authority to pronounce someone whose jock you are not worthy to carry, "innocent until proven guility"?
Unbelievable arrogance. Infuriating condescension. An insult to anyone old enough to understand the difference between right and wrong. What a humiliating and derogatory thing to say in public. Really jaw-dropping. This is the kind of shit I would only expect to hear from some sonorous pompous asshole on the floor of the US Senate. No wonder he is such good friends with George Mitchell.
