Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants broke Hank Aaron's home run record last night. There was much rejoicing, but I wasn't one of them. Aaron got to 755 by skill and athletic energy. Bonds allegedly had, um, help, which to me taints his achievement. The reason I like baseball is because it is still a sport of honor, and baseball has not winked at those who dishonor the institution in the past (see "Black Sox", Pete Rose, etc.). To let this new record stand is to call that honor into question. I'm sorry, Barry, but I can't rejoice with you. I really want to, but......
On a happier note, a certain team we know and love is STILL on top of the AL East, and STILL five games ahead of Satan's highly-paid minions.
