That's got to be the most bulshit thing I've heard on the subject. It's 2006 not 1965. No one cares if he's black, white or purple. He cheated.

Believe what the media spoon feeds them? So the Balco reports and Bonds handling of the issue is all contrived? You're kidding right? The media, especially ESPN is not chastizing him. As a matter of fact, they gave him a TV show and cut away from whatever programing is on just to show his at bats when he is on the doorstep of the next milestone. Are those the actions of the evil media conspiracy you are talking about?

Ruth can't cry. He's dead. What does where you live have anything to do with the records of a guy that quit playing 35 years before you were probably born.

You've seen the statistics and the facts. When other players were getting tired and old Bonds was getting bigger, stronger and more fearless at the plate. Are you saying that he did take steroids and it's o.k.? Why? Why is it acceptable to cheat? Even if he took drugs with the purpose to be a better hitter and it didn't work his intentions were to cheat.

If Sosa took drugs he too is a pile of shit along with Mr. Acne himself McGuire and Palmero and anyone else that thought that cheating was a way to make a good player better. Say what you want about Conseco, but as big of a stooge as he is, he wasn't lying. Who else that sat up in front of congress and discussed the issue could say the same thing?

Baseball chose to look the other way and Bonds took advantage. He went to Conte specifically becuase Balco devised a chemical that was not detectable so he could "risk" testing and still stand and lie about his non use of drugs. Does that make it ok because it wasn't a known drug that could be tested for? Does it make it right that he never got cought dirty?

I cannot understand how anyone that calls themselves a fan of baseball, a game so dependant on it's own history and statistics, can stand back and watch Bonds as the spectacle that he is and not feel like whatever was left of the purity of the game is being destroyed every time he steps into the batters box.
