His reaction was so disrespectful, it was nothing a Commissioner should have done. Then he makes that "Lame" statement afterwards about people are innocent until proven guilty. What does that have to do with the record. He spoke with Tom Glavine after he reached 300 wins last night, but has yet to talk to Bonds!

No, if Selig had any nuts he would ban Bonds from baseball. He knows the Grand Jury testimony, and is protecting Bonds as to not hurt baseball because to some, there is still a tiny bit of doubt about the steroid thing. Selig wants to keep it that way forever because he doesn't want the game tarnished. Baseball went way down the tubes a decade ago over the player's strike. The McGwire/Sosa HR chase revived it. That chase was most likely helped by steroids also. If you look at it objectively, steroids might have saved baseball! It is hard to accept, but hard to dismiss!

There is every indication that Selig plans to be at the ballpark and represent MLB when Bonds breaks the record. He will never have another opportunity to do the right thing and I believe he is making the right decision.

As the spokesperson for MLB he has an obligation to be there. There is no verdict on Bonds other than public opinion, which hurts but is not always correct.
He should be at the game tonight when he breaks it against the Nats and say "Congrats, Barry." He is an embarrassment as a commish.

As far as his breaking Hank Aarons record, it shouldn't even be recognized by Selig. By recognizing Bonds "achievement", Selig is making a mockery of Hank Aaron. Aaron broke Ruth's record with sweat, hard work and HONOR.
Bond's is trying to break Aarons record with nothing but a vial and syringe.

No.
Giant fans would hate him if he didn't come and Bonds would feel mistreated and make some stupid comment about Selig.
It was stupid though when Bonds hit #755 Selig didn't even clap. He just sat their. I mean I understand Bonds used steroids but could you at least show some respect towards him?
