Barry Bonds may miss season

[RogerZBT]

Is it wrong that reading this made me happy?

ESPN story (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2018994)

A dejected Barry Bonds said Tuesday that there's a chance he might not return this season because of multiple knee surgeries.

"Right now I'm just going to try to rehab myself back to, I don't know, hopefully next season, hopefully middle of the season. I don't know," Bonds said. "Right now I'm just gonna take things slow. I feel bad for the guys because I want to be out there for them."

Heh. At least someone can join me in the "early round draft pick injury" club.

[morgan180]

because he doesn't want to play w/o the juice and hit 35 home runs and everyone start asking questions.

flame away.

Really this could be the best possible outcome. Ruth and Aaron keep their places while Bonds still goes to the HOF as one of the greatest players ever.

"I really don't have much to say anymore," Bonds said. "My son and I just going to enjoy life. My family's tired. You guys [the media] wanted to hurt me bad enough, you finally got there.

"You wanted me to jump off the bridge, I finally have jumped. You wanted to bring me down, you've finally brought me and my family down. Finally done it. From everybody, all of you. So now go pick a different person. I'm done. Do the best I can, that's about it."


Barry Bonds is the most disgraceful sports figure of the last 10 years. What a tool.

[Jack of Arcades]

Bonds is certainly polarizing.

We haven't drafted yet, but this certainly changes my perspective on keeping Alou for $22.

[PassiveCaller]

I think Barry gets a lot worse of a rap then he should. He seems like a person who's bitter at people who don't truly understand the inner dynamics of baseball and are judging him and I don't blame him. I don't feel sorry for Barry and I doubt Barry does either but steroids don't make you great maybe they helped keep his body from dropping off like it has now but he's still a great player...

Look at Jeremy Giambi who confessed to steroids and how his career turned out.

This will suck most for the Giants who suddenly will find themselves with almost no chance of making the playoffs.

If there is any justice in the world, Bonds will never play another game.

all of this bonds hating is absolutely ridiculous.

"most disgraceful sports figure in the past 10 years" ?

double please.

easily said by someone who doesn't actually know the person. i think kobe bryant is the biggest prick in the world, but i would never go off and say i hate the guy because i don't personally know him.

i've actually met barry in person and he was nothing but nice to me and my friends.

You don't personally know him right? Maybe he was a really cool guy and just misunderstood by the media and the gov't.

For starters, I'm from the Bay Area and the Giants are my favorite team. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

BUT, Barry Bonds has been my favorite player since the Pirates days.

Secondly, I still like Mark McGwire.

Thirdly, I dislike Jason Giambi not because he takes steroids, but because he left the A's.

Obviously, I don't care much for the steroids issue because I think people overreact to it waaaay to much. It's baseball players doing things to maybe (not even proven to) help themsevles play the game better to entertain us fans who hope to watch great things on a baseball field. I don't get it.

Meanwhile, people are supposed to turn a blind eye with a guy like Kobe Bryant who's been accused of RAPE, claiming its his personal life decisions and he's just a basketball player and we should judge him for what he does on the court? I don't get this.

yeah because baseball and dictatorship are the same thing. you know what i mean.

POTD!! comparing Barry Bonds and Hitler. ROFLMFAO!!!!!

[Boris]

That's exactly it. Bonds is taking the most heat becuase he has an abrasive personality. But the fact of the matter is that many of the good guys in baseball most likely juiced during their career. It's not fair to crucify Bonds just because he is a dick.

If you care about stats, records, history and integrity, then roids are a big deal.

If you appreciate MLB on the same level that one might appreciate WWF, than I can see why roids wouldn't matter.

I'm not trying to be insulting... and I'm not jumping to conclusions on Barry and others... but this is the way I see it.

Currently, baseball is a joke IMO. And not just because of steroids.

Seriously though, in all fairness, I am from San Diego and like the Padres, and he absolutely crushes them every time.

He sounds pathetic.......yet again.....it would have been hilarious if a reporter handed him a box of tissues. Damn I feel bad for him and his family, oh wait, maybe if he wasn't such a juiced [censored] people wouldn't bother him.

[Boris]

thank you!

I didn't meet him but asked for his autograph during spring training about 10 years ago (I was 8 or 9). There weren't any other people around asking either. He just said "get out of my way" and like brushed past me instead of taking like 2 seconds to make my entire vacation. Yeah, I think he's a prick. Luckily his father was a nice guy and signed a ball. I think it's possible that he doesn't want his stats to decrease. I don't want to think that but after this whole steroids thing, I don't know what is impossible.

Stats and records have always been tainted, whether it's due to small ballparks, deadballs, bad gloves, medicine, travel, segregation, or the lack of cocaine.

We don't even know how much this helps. I'd like to find out exactly what effect steroids have on ballplayers and ability. But we never will, because drugs are bad, mmmmkay?
