A classy, classy guy like Barry would never do it, I just can't believe the rumors.  He seems so upstanding and honest.  I'm sure he hit 73 homers because he just worked out a little more each day and ate healthy.  He wasn't jealous of McGwire. Barry, tell me you're clean, oh please, Barrrrrrrrrrry!  My world will crash down if you disappoint me.

you should get rid of him sweetheart. yes he won the cy young award but he is not worth all the pain and anxiety. there are long stretches where he is terrible and has a bloated ERA. I drafted him in one league just for value since people like him, and I traded him for barry zito and then he went on the DL. im loving that deal right now!

i think that guy deserves an award for being such a wonderful guy! He is amazing i'm having trouble finding words for this superman! there's not a word i can think of that could describe such greatness oh!, yes, he's the master of all masters, a living legend, a god in a strange sorta way! I don't think he even knows who Britney Spears is? Also, you say he's mental, yes he's very smart! You are right on the stalker part he has woman stalking him right and left he had to hire more security! so be it!

Well, I am not "crazy" about him because I am a male and a Red Sox fan to boot. However, he is a great shortstop, a dedicated player, and epitomizes the enthusiasm and energy one would like to see in all athletes!!\n\nI hope you agree.

I'm with you.  He's a spoiled rotten jerk and I'm tired of hearing about him.  If you haven't read the Sports Illustrated steroid issue about him, it's very telling.  Especially entertaining was listening to him bellyache about racism.  Here's hoping he doesn't break the record of Hank Aaron, who's a hero and went thru HELL to get there!

I don't necessarily "hate" Barry, but I don't respect him or his accomplishments either.  Just as I don't respect Mark McGuire's accomplishments.\n\nIf you cheat, you shouldn't get any respect, and that is exactly what has happened to Bonds.  Sorry, but cheaters never prosper.

I could go on and on for days telling you some of the weirdest questions I have seen on Yahoo. Probably the one I think is the weirdest is the guy who said he had surpassed Wilt Chamberlain in the "sex partner department" and that his number was in the tens of thousands, all WITHOUT a condom.  That was freaky and quite honestly, a little disturbing.

OK, first of all...you spelled "they're" wrong, second of all, as franko said, they are winning, seeing as how they just swept Houston and outscored them 34-5 in the series.  Third of all, you spelled "sucking" wrong.  \nFourth of all - to "ICHOOSETOTEL..." - it would be, "it's a shame," not "it's ashamed."  "That his kids will have to dill with about there dad."  What is that?  That's not even a comprehensible sentence.  And, as if Ruth, Mantle, and Aaron were all such angelic saints themselves.  So, don't even talk about how Barry's not "a Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron."\n\nAnd, to reiterate my answer to Shawn, calm down.  It's not like ESPN knew that Barry was going to strike out.  Who cares about Avery Johnson's press conference?  They lost, they're going to lose the series, so it doesn't matter.  History, regardless of whether or not you think Barry cheated, is history.  And ESPN just wants to make sure that America sees it live.

I think he definitely is weaker this season, probably because he is not using steroids anymore because of the new, tougher steroid penalty. ( 50 games first offense, 100 games second offense, and a lifetime ban for a third.) He also does not have much protection in the lineup behind him, so he wont get as many pitches to hit, therefore is porbably not going to break Hank Aaron's career home-run record this year.

He probably popped a few more vicodins than normal.\n\nThey should let him hit once in the season.  The last 2 or 3 times he started the season, he popped a homerun.  After that they should trade him.  What a fluke.

Mike's Defense couldn't even begin to approach Robinson's. The idea of that is absurd. Brooks Robinson was a defensive phenom the likes of which has not been seen since. We are talking about a man who perfected the barehanded fielding of a bunt and throwing to first in the same motion. This is the man who nearly single  handedly won the 1970 world series with his dazzling display of defense. The fewest errors Schmidt committed in over 100 game in a season was 15. He committed as many as 27. The most Brooks committed in over 100 game in a season was 18. In my mind it is not even close. Brooks is the greatest hands down. As far as hitters at third Pie Trainer was a much better hitter than Mike and a better fielder. Mike is not rated among the top fielding third basement at all by most experts of the game.

Bonds seems like a selfish kind of guy (he collects hella memorabilia of himself if I understood that right on "Bonds on Bonds"), but like most athletes I have to assume he wants a championship more than anything. If he was simply about records, you'd think he'd want to go to the AL so he could DH.

First, until you can prove that Barry took steroids or until anyone for that matter comes up with concrete evidence, facts, receipts or whatever that he bought them and took them then get off his back.  Don't believe everything you read and I wouldn't take Jose Canseco's word if you paid me and I sure ain't going to believe what I read in a book with no factual evidence beyond someone heard this from someone else that he took steroids.  It hasn't been proven yet that Barry knowingly took steroids and he admitted to unknowingly taking the cream and the clear which was given to him in a flax seed oil bottle so he doesn't have a problem admitting something cause he admitted to doing that.  The problem is since he is not approachable that the public hates him, maybe he's a private person and wants to be left alone by the media cause he knows they twist everything, personally I like the guy and I'm pulling for him to break the records cause he's a great hitter with great reflexes, steroids don't improve your reflexes or your skill with the bat, just your strength so he's still a prolific hitter with amazing unheard of stats like OBP and slugging percentage.  Giambi, he was honest so that's that, he admitted to taking them and said he was sorry, doesn't forgive everything but I was never a fan of his back when he played with Oakland so it didn't matter to me either way.  But don't be hard on someone like Barry with no facts and then love someone who admitted to taking them and had facts to back it up in Giambi. Go Bonds!!

i think boomer is going to retire. i can't believe all the hard work he did in rehab and this had to happen. that is a good assumption that Clemens would come back. i hope Weill's is OK. if boomer retires i hope we get Clemens back. GO SOX'S!!!!

It was very amusing. In fact it made me laugh my a$$ off. Remember though, for all his theatrics he did not bump, touch, or physically make contact with an umpire. Nor did he throw anything at an umpire. It was really more show than harmful. \n\nBasically he performed a montage of Managers anger at umpires greatest hits incorporating scenes from past arguments from experts like Lou Pinella, Billy Martin, and Larry Bowa... \n\nHe probaqbly doesn't even deserve his one week suspension, but because of the widespread play of it, they had very little choice.\n\nIMHO his comments after the game about how terrible the umpires are was a worse crime than his heat of the moment theatrics on the field.

I have yet to watch it. I belive he is trying to repair his image in the public eye. It is a total pr scam. Barry bonds dosen't even want to break the record he only wants to beat the white mans record.

I agree with you, but as far as baseball goes, they didn't "catch on" (which isn't a good thing) until the early-mid 80's. I know myself, no joking of a few players who used steroids to get ripped, as in muscle tone and bat speed, and running speed as well as to prolong thier careers. It is a much different "cycle" than those looking to be huge and monsterous. I'll give you a clue on one of them, he played for the Reds and Tigers and his name rhymes with Derek Shavis. People think ball players tak it for one reason: to hit homers. But the effects are much more potent and better when you try to use it for endurance and to get "chisled". How do I know this, I have studied baseball for 10 of my 20 years on this planet, and I have met and talked to a lot of ball players. It doesn't however make it better to not use it to bulk up, but look at why runners use it and marathoners. Imagine trying to run 26.2 miles and having it feel like 5 miles. Imagine the extra step when you are trying to steal a base? Imagine a few more mph on an outfield throw to get runners out? Or maybe even the extra step to run out a long fly ball. Those are the people MOST don't know about. When a player takes it to bulk, they have one thing on their mind: home runs. So my point is they are both cheaters and punks.
