After everything I've heard and read since the game 2 controversy started, I'm fairly certain that Kenny Rogers was cheating and has been cheating for quite some time. Yes, there isn't any "proof", just a lot of circumstantial evidence at this point.

But my question is this. Will we see anywhere near the outrage over this that we've seen in the past with Barry Bonds and the steroid controversy? The things that Bonds allegedly did were not against the rules at the time. What Kenny Rogers has allegedly done, is and has been against the rules for a long time. People who have called for the home runs of Bonds to not count, or to not recognize his home run total...Should they also call for game 2 of the world series to not count?

Some people claim that this is all part of the game, especially in cold weather. If that was the case then we would see all pitchers doing it, especially in cold weather. And if it was part of the game, I'm sure there would have been rules adjustments by now to allow for it. Jay Howell's 2 game suspension for pine tar on the glove in the '88 playoffs should silence all the "accepted practice" people out there.

With that said, I don't see anything coming from this. The controversy will die out quickly before the end of the series, although I believe baseball fans should be outraged. Let's see how it plays out.

Disclaimer: I am a Yankee fan. I don't care who wins the World Series at this point.
