Selig and MLB won't embrace Bonds and the new record publicly, but they were quick to put up all the 'Bonds 756' gear up for sale in their store! Shameless!

Bonds is despicable, Bud Selig is disgraceful, and their lawyers are disgusting. The sword rattling of the trial lawyers is among the putrid reasons why Selig is tepid in banning Bonds from baseball. Both Selig’s and Bonds’ own attorneys warned that any financial losses Bonds might suffer as a consequence of negative publicity generated by MLB or the commissioner could fall squarely on the shameful, slumped shoulders of Major League Baseball. And so as cowards while Bonds and others juiced themselves into the record books, MLB and Selig remain cowards with their caution. Despicability, disgrace and disgust converged last night.
