Simply put, we are experiencing an ethical crisis in America.

in sports scouts are always searching for the next prototype athlete - they look for physical attributes that fit that prototype - i.e. after Ripken made it, every scout was looking for bigger, athletic Shortstops... in football every scout starting looking for large, speedy QB's modeled after Randall Cunningham, Dante Culpepper etc
thing is, in the case of Bonds, why arent scouts combing the high schools looking for deformed Egor freaks with giant craniums???
I'm telling you, he didnt start hitting monster HRs until his head ballooned. Think about it. Its not the muscles - its all about the giant freakazoid head!!
sure he did roids and thats what caused his head to blow up. But I bet theres some naturally big headed goons in elementary school that we can start training to hit a curveball!
Trust me. 10 years from now all baseball players will have enormous heads and hit 72 HRs a year. It'll look like a field of bobble heads

yet football, ignored the fact the broncos won a title when most of the team was doing roids... it's selective outrage, generated by the same liberal media that you also despise....
people need to really rethink the entire thing, and see the big picture... we either remove all the players who have been accused or caught or move on.
look at it this way... we now know there were no wmd's, yet we stayed in Iraq. We also know Bonds has hit 756 home runs and may have had used drugs to make himself a better athlete... it's a fucked up world! I can see through the bullshit and it doesn't change a war or a persons choices.

Well, I don't think a nat'l championship can be reversed just because half the players were roided up. I know a war can't be reversed. Yes, the liberal nat'l media does a poor job. I'm glad you finally see. And Bonds has the record but it's tainted. Double asterisked, if you will.

This whole thing hinges on Bonds distain for fans and the media.He's been an asshole which he's entitled to.but you reap what you sow..perhaps even some racist stuff too (from him) so people arent exactly pleased he's got the record.Baseball lost me years ago....not due to drugs but due to the imbalance of revenues and the owners and players greed....Fuck em all....NFL is right around teh corner....

it's all tainted... and what is a taint? Well, I nkow where my taint is, and nobady wants to go near it... it's funny. we have national elections where cheating is happening. we've got companies ripping off the country, contractors milking the u.s. govt. out of billions of dollars, celebrities who are famous for nothing, or even worse, being stupid and untalented... Yet, a guy like Bonds, who has hit 756 home runs, is being attacked, for something unprovable. Yet he did hit those home runs... and Aaron himself called him the king... and i'm suposed to be outraged b.c some reporters want to sell stories. Maybe most people don't care that bonds has had an intense work out regime since he was akid or that willie mays and his dad taught him everything about baseball. let's ignore the fact, every baseball player talk about bonds positively, yet the press has hated him b/c he avoided them from very early on... I'm judging the man too, but i'm judging him on a lifelong basis, not just snippets. I've seen him pitched around and walked, defensive shifts put on ect... and that was part of the game, not a cheating move. and baseball had a drug problem even before roids, had cheating throughout, so who the fuck are we to blast one person. pitcers who threw to him, were caught on roids. regardless, the time frames and specualation of these times get pretty blurry, and that is b/c we don't nkow all the facts, and might never know. Even if Bonds took super dooper make you crush em' drugs, he never had any advantage in baseball , that wasn't there for anyone else, b/c baseballl allowed this stuff to happen. ironically, even after the spotlight about doping, and testing ect... and being treated like shit, Bonds has still performed very well, in his 40's. and that in alot of ways, proves, that it's not about skill, that the person, has a skill and a strong enough character to rise above. and the thing i like, he doesn't give a fuck. When it comes down to it, he loves baseball and loves playing. i don't know one perfect person, but flawed people, can have integrity, and i see way more integrity in him, than i do in most athletes, and he's not the the best person in that regard... but he still excels above alot, while being treated like agreat satan. Do you think Jordan, Gretzky or Elway did stuff? i'll tell you why Bonds is being spotlighted. He has always hated sports reporters and he's ne of the greatst athletes of all time. This is why Palmeiro and sosa and McGuire are forgotten. They had flukes, no consistency. bonds has been consistent for 23 years...

no greed , racism or disdain for fans there...lol! Bonds is all those things, you're spot on... Except, he does care about some fans, and i've heard some great stories, he's human, and has to deal with fame like many. I heard Mick and Keef can be dicks too.

If the record were legit, then it would be the talk of the town. Fortunately I haven't even heard a mention of 755-6 the past few days, so at least Barry can have his celebrations all by himself.

I think it kind of sucks that Hammerin' Hank isn't the leader anymore.
Did you ever see the video of Hank hitting 755? He didn't stand still, raise his hands in the air like a hero, and look selfish. He ran as if he hit a double to left-center.
That is disrespectful to the opposition, as well. 99% of players would get beaned the next time they went up to bat for showing up the other team like that.
Barry's never been humble anyway, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

The Pirates are planning a tribute to Barry Bonds upon his return Monday. This ought to be interesting.

I mean, in the streets, no one is really giving 2 shits.. could also have to do with the fact that the O's have sucked for about a decade and people here forget about baseball. Still think its weird that the Babe is 3, and as Boomhouer says, Hank is #2.

Remember when Ripken disrespected baseball by delaying the game 1/2 an hour running around the field. DiMaggio never did that... wtf? Dude, we create these idols and then tear them apart... God damn america is retarded...lol.

Ricky Henderson is the greatest. They brought a microphone out on to the field and he told us so.

Yeah, I remember.
And then after the game he came out and signed autographs for anybody and everybody that wanted one.
And he wasn't wearing a "2131" hat either...

Yeah, that was fucked up.
But Ripken didn't do that every time he added a game to his streak.
Barry watched every home run he hit. He did little twirls and did a "take that, motherfucker" thing every time he hit a dinger.

Dude, I just flipped through the channels and they're showing the HR Derby from Philadelphia in 1996.
Barry wasn't ripped at this point. But McGwire was.
