The Plan

People who are angry at Barry Bonds for using steroids are kind of pathetic. Of all the people and groups that might deserve some blame for this sorry state of affairs, Barry is way the hell down at the bottom.

Third place goes to the MLBPA, for deciding that image is more important for their members than, say, functional testicles.

Second goes to the league, for half-assing the entire issue for years.

First place, of course, goes to you, Mr. & Mrs. Baseball Fan.

Why?

Because after the strike, you were so angry at baseball that you didn’t watch it as much. You told baseball you didn’t care anymore. And what brought you back?

Sosa and McGwire.

Two acne-scarred giant-headed monstrosities banging dingers.

You made it clear what you wanted to see, and you’re getting it.

No * for you.
