[Dan in Pasadena]

The owners giving Selig a two year contract extension is a travesty. All this crap happened on his watch. They are rewarding him for growing the game. For revenue and merchandising sales growth during his tenure...which I agree has been tremendous....now how do you suppose some of those things happened? The owners (and the union) could agree to third party testing and have let Bud's contract expire and have turned the corner on this whole scandal...but they didn't. All the hand wringing and supposed repugnance at these players who have sullied the game is so much hogwash. They could give a damn. Its about the money and they only care that they have been caught with the reason the game grew....and I am a dyed in the wool baseball fan! Who DIDN'T know many, many players were using something these last years? And we hang on their every comment.
