So Baseball is not only going to make an exception for Barry Bonds and allow him to break the HR record while having been on steroids, but now they are going to change the rules of the game just for him and allow the DH in the NL for training games?

What the hell else, allowing him to take 3rd if he walks? What, is Bonds the first player ever who has been injured in the taining camp and cannot play. What the hell gives? I would like to believe the game is bigger than Barry Bonds. Although it may not be bigger than his head.

I'd rail about the insult to the game that this represents and how baseball is going to hell in a handbasket... "Going"...?

I thought all those steroids are supposed to make these guys STRONG?

I m no baseball purist, indeed, only a marginal fan, so I can't get upset about it--especially since it seems to me the Spring Training is even less "real baseball" than the exhibition season in the NFL is "real football."

And why not go with some aluminum bats while we're at it? ;-)
