Stop being such a damn coward, yes YOU Bud Selig, stop hiding and dodging the problem that you have created.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig was the keynote speaker at a news conference in San Francisco last week where he used the opportunity to tout his own
accomplishments since becoming the head man of the American pastime, proclaiming “We are living in the Golden Age of Baseball.”
He praised himself for bringing the wild card and inter-league play to the majors and for expanding the league and has mainly earned praise from the public for his innovations.

Fittingly enough, however, being in San Francisco it did not take long before talk soon turned to steroids and Barry Bonds. Selig said he was proud for the new doping tests
that MLB has implimented, and is convinced that they will save the sport.

But there is another looming problem for Selig. Barry Bonds is 22 homeruns away from breaking the all time homerun record. The odds are he will break Hank Aaron's mark this
season. When asked if he would attend the game and ceremony where Bonds breaks the homerun record, Selig in typical laid back fashion said he would have to see if his
diary was free which actually meant “I want to avoid this if at all possible, and hopefully if I’m out of sight people will forget about me.”

That’s right Bud. Run, hide and ignore, because it has worked so well for you and your sport in the past. You ran and hid after the strike season of 1994 and lucked out because of the efforts of men like Cal Ripken who revived baseball. When the homeruns began to fly out the park in 1998 and the mysterious pills began to show in players' lockers, you ignored it, and revelled in the resurgence of the long ball posing for pictures with Sammy Sosa and friends.

It has now all come home. For the last three years there has been a cloud over the sport of baseball, and with Bonds quickly approaching the homerun record the perfect storm is brewing, and rather than take it head on, make a stand and finally put to bed all this controversy over baseball, Selig is doing what he does best. He is running and hiding hoping it will all blow over just like it did in 1998.

Did Bonds cheat? Probably. Did he do what others admitted doing and countless others have yet to own up to doing during that same time? Yes he did. Is pretending that Bonds and his new record doesn’t exist going to fix anything? Hell No.

I know that Bonds passing Aaron will create a tainted record. It’s not right and it’s not fair, but this is what happens when you ignore a problem: it doesn’t go away it just gets bigger. Now its time to face the problem.

Selig has made his bed and now he must lie in it. I am sick of his back peddling and flaying trying to avoid and dodge any and everything of substance.
During his tenure Selig has transformed baseball from a once magical sport to a side show with congressional hearings, and drugs raids.
Bonds breaking Aaron's record is an opportunity for Selig to stand up, set the record straight on steroids and testing and create a watershed moment for Major League

Baseball. But instead of this Selig is again sitting back and allowing the moment to pass while the sport he controls flounders under his watch.
