Led Zeppelin is dedicating a song to Bonds. They’re calling it “Steroids to Heaven.”

Maybe we can come up with an appropriate nickname for Bonds: “Homer.”

Mr Rhoden, if you celebrate this “feat” and ignore the drug factor, what are you telling the budding stars of tomorrow?

Costas, bless him, eloquently pointed out the problem with Bond’s record.

I think it is incredibly hypocritical of baseball to make such a big deal out of the fact that Bonds may have taken steroids. They turned their gaze away from McGuire and Sosa who ABSOLUTELY were roided up in order to regenerate fan interest after the debacle of canceling the World Series, and, to me, to now act as if they are horrified and didn’t know that something was going, is the ultimate height of hypocrisy.

Baseball deserves this result.

They seem to be on the side of wrong on every issue. Gawd, they are truly disgusting.

RHODEN: Oh no, he, Matt, he's a great home-run hitter. Period * . The end.

This "innocent until proven guilty" is an insufferable platitude that is masquerading as high-mindedness, as if those of us who don't withhold all judgment need a remedial course in civics.

Excellent comment by Bob Costas.

For once, I agree with the liberal Bob Costas. Bonds is not a legitimate home run king.

Once again the New York Times continues its tradition of disagreeing with me about everything.

How can they be so foolish?

. . .act as if they are horrified . . .

I think Bonds's overall attitude has the effect of creating criticism on steroids. Regardless, he's now hit the ball over the fence more than any other MLB player.

The media are obsessing over this to make us forget that Your Black Muslim Bakery was an incubator for violence against Your White Christians.
