Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
Actually, I'll tell you why it wouldn't be a good idea.
We have no idea how much steroids affect a player's performance, and we never will unless they become openly legal and records are taken and tests are run. I'm all for testing and the possibility of removing steroids from the game. It's unhealthy for the game. But what's even worse is the fact that we have no idea how performance enhancing these performance enhancing drugs are.

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
I feel Bonds is an arrogant person. A very personal person. I think what the media does and says affects him *a lot* and always has no matter how he tries to play it off. Maybe it's because I'm a Giants fan, but I have always liked Bonds despite his questionable attitude. He is just a person that cannot handle the spotlight of being such a large athlete.
He was a jackass before the steroid thing blew up this year. While the "i just won't my kids to stop crying" is a great exaggeration, Bonds is just the type of person that would like to spend his time with his family and never see a camera again. Go Giants!

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
[ QUOTE ]
The fact of the matter is that Bonds was one of the top ten position players of all time pre 1999 [/ QUOTE ] No, I don't agree. Not even close. [ QUOTE ] Or, at least, on the track to becoming it. [/ QUOTE ] Hindsight certainly is 20-20. But if you asked in 1999, I think most people would have disagreed with you. Nobody could have expected his performance not simply to sustain itself but to improve at his age.

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] This is absolutely untrue. [/ QUOTE ] no its not. 3 MVPs before his alleged steroid use(should have been 4). [/ QUOTE ] So what. He wasn't "on track" to be the greatest player ever. It's a ridiculous thing to say. A lot has to happen to get that title. Such as hitting 73 home runs in a season.

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
I don't think he meant a literal asterik. But people did not give him credit, the extra games were talked about all the time.

People are sooooooooo Naive about steroids.
People have no idea how many people use steroids. Tons of HS kids take steroids for football season, and people are surprised that PRO Baseball players are using them?? Posters on here have kids, friends, neighbors who use them.. But they think, "he just works out a lot."
I blame the league for it and not the players. If you saw people around you using steroids, you would probably feel it almost necessary to take steroids to keep up. If Carl Lewis knew that Ben Johnson was doping, would you blame him for using them too if he knew he wasn't going to be tested? Well, there were tests, so he didn't have to use them. This would be the same case if baseball had strict guidelines all along. Really makes you appreciate Roger Maris.

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
no one considers him the greatest player(in fact that whole argument is stupid to begin with), but he was most certainly on track to being one of the greatest players ever.
