Ever since they let this drug addict play ball because of his “record-breaking” streak, I’ve turned off all pro baseball. Bonds is a skunk, and the baseball commissioner is a bigger skunk for sending a message to America’s children that being a druggie is okay with him.
Baseball with its pro-drug attitude, ancient habits (coaches dressed like little boys, unlimited foul balls, 7 or 8 warm-up pitches when a guy comes in from the bullpen [where he already warmed up]) is only one step above the excitement of a 1-0 score in a 90-minute soccer game. Barf! (and Snore!)
Baseball is also allowing a little bit of thug mentality to creep in; you’ll notice how a handful of players now wear their caps like thugs on the street, a little crooked/off-center. Some are really bad. You’d think there’d be standards in the sport. (Maybe there is: “no more than 11 degrees off center.”)
