You're absolutely right Scotz.

I've never said that I particularly like Barry. Actually, I've always thought he was a prick but the man can play ball. But Bud Selig and the rest of Major League Baseball are just as much to blame for the "steroid era" as Bonds. He was just going along with something he knew he could get away with. Ethical? Absolutely not and I don't condone the performance enhancing drugs but baseball let it happen. Bud Selig acting like he's offended by Bonds breaking Henry's mark now makes me even more sick than the thought of the guys using the stuff.

And you all know I'm a Cubs fan to my core and yes, I have absolutely detested Sammy Sosa from the second he came to my team. Always has been a fake who was always "me, me, me" and I'm glad he isn't finishing his fraudulent career with my Cubs.

I'll take guys like Ryne Sandberg (my personal baseball hero) or Murph (whom Scotz mentioned) anytime. And yes, Dale Murphy should be in the Hall of Fame, there's no doubt about it.
