Does anyone else feel that professional baseball is going down the toilet?

I grew up loving the sport, but with all the roid usage, the animosity surrounding Bonds, the CONSTANT ejections (the latest being Clemens and Torre), is there any hope for the beleaguered pastime? I contend it all started with the strike in the 90's and went downhill from there. It's becoming more of a "thug" sport than basketball ever was in my opinion. Any thoughts?
