756*


Let me just preface this by saying that I'm not a big baseball fan at all. I haven't watched a game since I went to a minor league game in my hometown with my father-in-law and my mom's boyfriend...

Why do we get pissed at Barry Bonds for breaking Hammerin' Hank Aaron's home-run record over supposed steroid abuse, yet allow him to play? Michael Vick is in boiling water for fighting dogs, and the NFL is like "um, nah nigga, don't even THINK about coming to camp". The MLB is looking at Bonds like "well, we MIGHT put an asterisk next to your stats in the record books, but you also bring $$$ to the sport". Say I'm wrong. And to hear my boy Enigmatik tell it, "they excluded an entire race of people from playing even though every knows that blacks woulda murked 'em on the field"... no truer words have been spoken on this subject.

Why the double standard? Why kick his back in, but allow him to make bread for you? It's not like Barry wasn't/isn't a hall of famer based on the shit he made before he looked like a juiced up Ving Rhames... I mean, OK, he's broken the record now, right? Alex Rodriguez just hit 500 homers the other night... he's SURE to get murk whatever record Barry will retire this year with (if you think neph will be playing any more ball after this season, you're bugged). Why even go on about this, knowing that Barry's shit won't last 30+ years? It just seems like they want to get his shit done and over with quickly... but they sacrifice the stats their baseball cards and sport is built on. Having that * in the books is a bad look, but they did it to themselves...

Remember the times...
