Home run "king" indicted

[Sethomas]

Okay, I'll get to you eventually Blanco, but first I have to remind Hungryhungryhippo that he's retarded. Just a sec.

Hey Hungry! I see what you did there with the whole, "you proved my point" thing without making any link as to what the flying fuck you're talking about. A surprise move indeed, I had no idea you studied in the Peewee Herman School of Rhetoric. Oh, and the inclusion of the hyperlink in your ridiculously prolix quotation of the board's name was a nice touch. I can't really see how it was at all necessary, but perhaps it's a bit much to ask you to say things purposefully.

Okay, Blanco. I saw this thread as an invitation to discuss professional sports in general because there's no reason in hell why the titular issue of Bonds being indicted should come as any shock nor should meet any opposition. I mean, if I were to make a post saying, "Alan Greenspan depletes ozone layer with burning of polyester American flag", with my intent being to express the idea that the ozone hole is a straw man argument, then I wouldn't be altogether surprised if someone started talking about the Federal Reserve or the right to burn the flag.

And by the way, I don't feel guilty for shitting on a pointless institution because it involves lots of money and lots of history. The money part is horrendously oligopolistic, and I'll point out that racism, xenophobia, and high cholesterol are all just as or more intimately tied to American history as professional sports.
