I understand that some people think Bonds is a "cheat" and a "liar" for the whole supplements issue, and he probably is in a way, but not in a way that's any different from his peers. So many people in MLB use that crap that it's not fair to single out Bonds. I would say the only reason he's been made the poster boy for this crap and not Canseco, Sosa, Clemens, Caminiti or any of the other users both proven and just obvious, is because he doesn't kiss enough reporter ass. I'm not going to excoriate him for something that half of MLB has been doing just because he doesn't give the reporters good enough Uncle Tom.

I seriously don't think the hate towards Barry has to due with his demeanor toward the media anymore (I personally don't like him, but I feel like this is an issue ESPN and other media outlets run into the ground, hence it becoming an issue). I think it has to do with the fact that he's about to break one of the most sacred records in American sports, and 'cheated' to do it.
