GO BARRY!!!

Did you ever see Barry Bond’s rookie card. It’s amazing what roids can do for the physique.

again..i never said he didn't take steroids.

i just refuse to judge him when he has never tested positive.

He admitted to taking the "Clear" which is a designer THG steroid, designed solely so they won't test positive, hence the name "the clear"

Roids may not better your Batting average, but will increase the chances it be a home run...

if someone has a great batting average, but can only push a double... good player...

if someone has a great batting average, "enhances his performance" and takes roids, that double can easily be turned into a homerun...

Mark and Sammy know whats up.

Roids can definitely improve your batting average. If you hit the ball an extra 20 feet, that can turn a fly-ball out into a home run.

Not to mention the fact that it speeds up your recovery time, which helps with longevity. So, for a second I'll buy the "it doesn't help you hit the ball" argument, but if steriods lets him play for 3 or 4 more years then he normally would have, thats a difference of probably 100-150 home runs.

Who is the alltime leader in homeruns???Barry Bonds! This is about his record, give it a rest.There is NOTHING that can be done. He is the homerun king.....

 

[bigspizz]

So...we are now guilty till provin innocent?......Sounds sovereign to me.

 

[me_wee_todded]

until the grand jury gets him for perjury regarding his steroid use, and until A-Rod hits 1000 homers ( he is way ahead of where Bonds or Aaron was at his age, youngest ever to hit 500, and without a wiff of steroids)

Yep
Arod is a great player. I was sad when we (rangers) lost him.

That is a coincodence.....He was "happy" to have been a part of the whole thing. I smiled like a little kid!!! I'm just happy for him. Can we let him be? please? I will not further debate "roids" Go Barry......Come on guys lets show a little respect to the alltime champ!

I'm not sure what # homer Hank hit off Mike Bacsik Sr but it was not the record breaker, Al Downing threw the pitch that became #715.

Show a little respect? I respect Hank Aaron because he appears to be a man of integrity and class. He did not want to be part of a media circus, so he taped a nice congratulatory message. As for Barry and the rest of the Juice Crew; you get respect when you earn it. Barry, Giambi and Sheffield all "unknowingly" took steroids. Palmero and a bunch of second stringers and minor leaguers have been caught. McGuire and Sosa just clammed up. IMO, they will never get much respect from most old time baseball fans.

I do find it amusing how the Balco boys have been treated- Giambi gets a pass from most people because he is likable, Sheffield is completely forgotten (not sure why) and Bonds gets hammered the most because he is a surly prick.

For the record-
I am a Yankee fan and when the grand jury testimony was leaked I was all for throwing all three out, even though it would have crippled my teams chances at not winning the World Series that year ( :j/k: about the WS).

And I would also check Roger Clemens about every 15 minutes. Talk about a guy who was a skinny beanpole his rookie year. :WTF:
