The Inmates are Running the Asylum

I have finished reading the Mitchell report and both management and labor have to accept responsibility for the steroid problem.

I find it laughable that Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is going to "investigate the problem". Yeah right. Selig is the problem. He never pushed Donald Fehr who heads up the players association to allow serious testing for steroids. Selig needs to resign immediately for the good of the game. It happened on his watch. There is no excuse that a large number of players in the past 20 years were juiced and have put up gaudy numbers that are now questionable at best. Selig has never shown any leadership and if you read through this blog you will see he has made mistakes every time a decision was needed or a leader needed to step in and show the way.

Donald Fehr should also tell the world he screwed up. But, that's fairly obvious in his arrogance and that of the overpaid athletes who pay his salary. Fehr has denied baseball the chance to test as it should have and has been a hindrance to the integrity of the game.

So what happens now you ask? Probably nothing. Neither Selig or Fehr is going anywhere anytime soon while their pockets are being lined. Hopefully the players will wake up and realize the public who has put up with this woeful behavior is paying their salaries and wont tolerate it much longer.

It's time for the players to grow up and take responsibility for their actions. But, given their track record don't hold your breath.
