Peter Gammons is a Hall of Fame reporter for ESPN. Recently, on WEEI, he said the following, "I'm ok with Russ Springer getting a 25 day suspension, because what he did was an embarrassment to baseball."
Pardon?
A pitcher throwing at an admitted cheater is enough of an embarrassment to warrant a 25 day suspension. But the same admitted cheater chasing one of the most coveted records in baseball history is not? It's not an embarrassment that the Player's Union protects disgraceful players like Bonds?
Hay, Gammons: get your lips off of Barry's bum! If there is an embarrassment to baseball it is the fact that the commissioner is too much of a coward to kick Bonds out of the game for good.
Some of you may not know that ESPN is currently airing a show called "Bonds on Bonds." It's Barry Bonds' way of attempting to garner some sympathy from the foolish people who watch this show. Basically, it's a Bonds love fest! Gammons is clearly unable to separate himself from the opinion of his employer. What kind of reporting is this?
Hey Gammons: stop taking marching orders from the Bonds worshippers at ESPN and talk about the real travesty in baseball: That Bonds isn't being thrown at every time he steps to the plate.
Paul McCartney (is he the real Paul McCartney?) and his wife of three years are getting divorced. What a surprise! And have you heard the reason for their break up?
According to Paul, it's the media! That's right. They blamed it on the media.
Look, I don't like the paparazzi just as much as the next guy, and I still blame them for Di's death (I'm not ready to throw that on the British Government just yet.). But give me a break! "We were unable to work out our differences because we're incredibly famous. Don't get me wrong, one of the reasons that we are so wealthy is because we are so famous. And if people didn't want to see our mugs everywhere we probably couldn't live in this multimillion dollar house and drive a different car per day, and I might actually have to get a job, but this is all why we are splitting up."
Just call it irreconcilable differences. (Here's the kicker: She's been with him for three year and she'll probably get half of what he earned as a Beatle! I think she should get half of what he's earned during these three years but that probably won't happen.)
I'm completely disgusted with both of them, but we all know, that it's just my opinion.

MLB has just handed Springer a 4 game suspension. Basically a slap on the wrist. While I still think that he shouldn't be suspended at all and this activity should be encouraged, I'm also happy that they aren't treating Bonds like a glass doll.
This is a reasonable ruling.
