What a damned joke our commish is.
Funny how Bud has been the acting commissioner for 17 years, but he's only decided to do his duties for the last four or five of them.
"What Alex did was wrong and he will have to live with the damage he has done to his name and reputation. His actions are also a reminder to everyone in baseball -- under our current drug program, if you are caught using steroids and/or amphetamines, you will be punished."
The key word in this sentence is CURRENT. First of all, testing positive in an "anonymous" test eight years ago, certainly doesn't qualify as CURRENT. Secondly, what is his punishment going to be for something he did EIGHT YEARS AGO. Thirdly, we all know that not every player, as Bud claims, that has tested positive for PEDs and steroids has not been punished. What's Bud gonna do? Make an example out of a guy that has never gotten arrested for anything, has always been quiet off the field, and has already been humiliated for numerous events in his personal life. Yeah Bud, real classy.
I still think it's side-splittingly funny that he is JUST NOW deciding that baseball needs to be clean again. I guess he must've had a change of heart after everyone found out that he and his friends literally allowed whomever wanted to, to cheat the game of baseball.
