Other than the fact that McGwire obviously did juice, everything else Bonds does or says is utter crap. I hope no one is willing to pitch to the man. Nothing but intentional walks every time he steps to the plate.

We go from Hank Aaron, who had to play in the face of adversity and survived death threats, to Barry Bonds, who creates adversity and makes death threats. Sad.

McGuires use of "Andro" was legal at the time...case closed.

Bonds use of some of the crap he is suppose to have ingested, well after these were banned is grounds for having his records expunged.

You read my mind, I think it would be GREAT if every pitcher intentionally walked Bonds every single time... How long before he would just quit baseball??

I can't wait until Bonds snaps and spews all he knows about the rest of the players using the stuff. No way Bonds takes the fall alone. Also, those guys at the Chronicle who wrote the book have the goods on pretty much every player in pro ball who is/has used steroids (and the numbers are as huge as Bonds' head). I wonder how many will get outed in their book.

"Also ignored was Bonds’s working out at a gym known as a venue where steroids were readily available."

I'd defended Bonds in the past. It looks like others were right and I was wrong. However, nearly every gym I've ever worked out in was a place where steroids were available....

And it's going to have to be every time, because in '04 he was walked 232 times (an all-time record by a mile) and still managed to hit 45 HRs.

He's determined to pass Ruth's 714 at all costs, and unfortunately he'll accomplish that. Whether or not he can catch Aaron's 755 is antoher question entirely.

How about a one-pitch intentional walk?
