How sweet

Seems commissioner Bud Selig has finally made up his mind and is going to try to be in the there when Barry Bonds breaks the homerun record. You know, unless his plane has engine problems and he just can't leave the tarmac or he has to take a bathroom break, Selig will be in the stands. He issued this statement:

"Throughout this season, I have watched Barry Bonds' pursuit of the home
run record. Now that he is on the verge of tying the record, the time has come
to announce that I will make every attempt to attend the record-setting
moment."

"Out of respect for the tradition of this game, the magnitude of the
record, and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven
guilty, I will attend Barry Bonds' next games to observe his potential tying and
breaking of the home run record, subject to my commitments to the Hall of Fame
this weekend. I will make an additional statement when the record is tied." (source)

It was sure nice of him to include the whole innocent until proven guilty line. Is that some little insurance policy? If Barry is found to have taken the roids, Selig can say, poor little old me, I didn't know there were steriods in baseball. Oh wait, that's not right...Well, you can catch the circus live when the Giants take on the Braves on TBS at 10:15 PM/est. Let's go Braves!

It's been fun blogging with you,
