i used to hate bonds but my eyes were eventually opened to the huuuuge mess baseball had become...did he used roids...fuck yeah he used roids...was he one of the best already before using them...yeah he was.
i used to love baseball so i hated bonds for doing this but hes part of a culture and product of his environement...his era imo completely made the history of numbers in the game irrelevant..as far as stats go like hr era on base rbi etc etc...
so ive come to accept things for what they are...and after watching the highlights all night and how genuine barrys joy was and how he said that aaroun sending that message made his career, i got to thinknig.
i feel for this dude...for as much as hes an asshole and a arrogant sob and all around doushebag, its a slap in the face for neither aaron or selig to be there...
yeah barry brought it on himself...
aaron didnt really have to be there, no obligation but when bonds said it made his career to see his message, shit was kinda depressing...what would it have meant for aaron to be there personally...that message seemed like aaron mailed it in, maybe aaron is just a real serious dude but it seemed like a robotic forced message.
but selig had to be there...wether he is unhappy that the record is being toppled under these circumstances but shit happend under his watch....maybe his hands were tied, maybe not, but youre running things, its your league, its baseballs greatest record...selig had to be there.
