Andy Pettite admits to HGH. Where is the Punishment?

Is Bud Selig still alive?  Where is he and is he even watching what is going on in his own sport?  It seems like ever since he gave himself his own contract extension, he has been hiding.  I do not understand what he is doing.  Players that were named in the Mitchell Report have told us they did   take the substances that were mentioned in the Report.  Andy Pettite has even held a press conference to admit to using HGH and apologized for what he has done.  But is that enough?  According to Bud it is.  No he hasn't come out in public and verbally told us this.  You could tell by his actions.  He is too afraid to punish these players because it was during the era he was the commisioner of baseball.  It would look bad on his part if this activity was going on under his nose and he recogizes it by punishing some of the stars of our game.  He will not do this.  He is going to look pass all of this because it was the Steriods Era and it is now a time to move on.  He doesn't care.  To his credit, he helped gain the popularity of the sport back by intorducing our modern day Incredible Hulks in the season of 1998 when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire slugged it out for the famous Roger Maris record which is now tainted.  Selig has made millions during this era.  Actually, billions.  He thanks the players for this.  They helped make him look better as they injected each other while supplying a fake realm of baseball to its fans

You can not do this Bud.  You will be ruining this sport.  It will set a bad example for everyone, especially the kids.  Stop punishing the minor leaguers who no one cares about.  Go after the Pettites, the Giambis. the Brian Roberts.  Punish them.  You are disgracing this sport if you do not.  If you do not punish them, it will bring a ripple effect around the world.  Every ball player that is trying to make it big will think even if they get caught, they will be ok because they know they will not get in trouble. Stop with the slap on the wrist Bud.  You need to punish the players that admitted.  Give them your 50 day suspension.  You go to do something.  Kids back in the day had the real modern day heroes of baseball in the Willie Mays, Hank Aarons, Billy Williams, Ryne Sandbergs, and the Ron Santos.  These players during these time did it the right way, the clean way.  And they all had success.  You need to show this once again to the general public.  You need a better steriod policy like the one the NFL has.  The NFL participates in having its players tested 12 times in a single season.  12 times.  Thats more than Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds have told the truth.

You need to do something Selig, or you will be losing a lot of buds.
