SPORTSbyBROOKS.com posted a story by Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle about how Bud Selig is ready to suspend San Francisco Giants owner Peter Magowan and general manager Brian Sabean for looking the other way while Barry Bonds juiced up to the size of a small country.
Selig’s motivation would be, as noted by the Georgie Mitchell, Sabean’s repeated unwillingness to remove Barry Bonds’ (alleged) steroid supplier, Greg Anderson, from the Giants’ clubhouse. In the same report, Magowan told George Mitchell “that Barry Bonds admitted using steroids, Mitchell’s report on steroid use in baseball says. Magowan later attempted to withdraw the disclosure.”
So let me get this straight, Selig is going to punish two people for turning a deaf ear and a blind eye to a player who took steroids? Hey Bud, you’ve chosen to look the other way while your entire league has been on roids for over a decade. Now you’re going to punish other people for the same crime you’ve committed? Please.
In other news, Giants fans everywhere are rejoicing over the thought of Sabean possibly being suspended. At least for the length of his suspension, they don’t have to worry about him signing yet another centerfielder, trading young pitching stars for A.J. Pierzynski, or signing another past-their-prime player to a ridiculous contract.
