How stupid is it that Selig is considering suspending Bonds?

I'm not talking about the morals of what Bonds did here.. but it seems ridicoulous for Selig to suspend someone for steroid use when baseball, MLB, and the players association did nothing about it for years. Their lack of action should salvage Bonds violations, I feel.

I think it will be very interesting. I don't know if Selig is strong enough to pull this off. The union will have a hard time fighting for Bonds, but I'm sure will find a roundabout legal way. My guess is this falls apart somewhere and he never gets suspended.

I am also interested to see what happens with some of the IRS implications from this book. And there will be heavy presure on the DA's office to file perjury charges.

I think what the government will do is very interesting. the fact it appears pretty obvious Bonds lied in front of a grand jury should lead to some trouble.

I am a huge Giants fan, and have been all my life. This is a touchy subject for me, and I'm not sure how to react. I will always love Bonds, and nothing will change that. However, his records will never be the same to me, and I will never look at his previous accomplishments (7 MVP's, 600/700 home runs) with such admiration.
