So Close…

It will be that much sweeter…
In light of Barry Bonds’ recent breaking of the homerun record, I’d like to say that when that historic day arrives and I reach the 58 milestone, I can proudly say I did it the right way. Over the last 3 years, it’s been clear to most writers and fans that some - if not many - of the Eat My Bomb Guild have egregiously used performance enhancing helping buddies in the ascenscion to the top. And while these performance enhancers were tempting to me, I stood firm and continued to do it the right way. So when I do reach the milestone, it will be with full pride and no sense of emptiness I know that other players feel who have already reached the hallowed number. I find it no coincidence that just to the west of the Dark Portal is a symbol of what these cheaters represent, a Tainted Scar. Because that’s what you’ve done to the game. You’ve tainted it. And left a scar. And no Neosporin on the shelves can erase that scar. That Tainted Scar. By the taint.
