should he be thrown out of baseball for drug usage

Sadly they can't prove it, but any MLB or baseball fan in general worth their salt should not honor his "achievements". Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron are far and away better players than Bonds will ever be because they set their records without the use of body/muscle enchancing drugs.\n\nUnless Bonds outright admits to steroid use, the MLB commission can't do anything.\n\nJust like the OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson trial, everyone but the jury knows he's guilty.

I hope so. Get him out of the AL. He kills the Yankees.

Nice thought but it will never happen.  Bench hasn't been part of the game for a long time.  And even if he got involved with the game he would most likely become part of the Reds organization.

sadly if pitchers keep throwing to him. If I was a pitcher facing bonds he could expect a bean ball every at bat. If I was a manager I'd tell every pitch to hit him with the ball or they'll be benched.\nWhat a loser to baseball and a disgrace to society. Barry Bonds is nothing but a joke.

Never!  Whether the drugs were banned or not, McGwire, Bonds, Sosa and all the others deliberately took chemically enhancing drugs to gain an unfair advantage over their peers.  That my friend is dishonest.  There is no justification for cheating.  Some people in here like to split hairs when it comes to the technicality of their actions.  I don't buy it!  It's like they're saying, " I did not have sex with that woman!"  Define sex, Define cheating!!  It's all the same.  The integrity of baseball is at stake here and the sports writers have an obligation to uphold it.  The fact is McGwire wasn't that good a player.  Check his stats.  Except for the chemically enhanced home runs, his numbers are very unremarkable.  He was not a very good hitter and was a below average defensive player.  Even if he didn't cheat, he does not belong in the HOF.

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!

Haha Barry bonds is a chicken. Wouldnt even fight Springer last night. Then again, he would get his *** kicked as his body is old and crippled enough.\n\nIf you were on his team and he charged the mound, would you back him up? Didnt think so. Doubt his teammates would either. The sooner he retires, the better for the game.

seriously, everyone needs to step off Barry. He's one of the greatest players of all time, steroids or not. Steroids are cheating? I'm not saying i like them or would ever use them, but when he did them it was part of the game. Experts and other players estimate over 1/2 of all big leaguers were using steroids in the late 90s/early 00s. I mean, ho9lding in football is illegal, but most o linemen hold anyway. And they sure as he11 try not to get caught. \n\nConcluision: i'm glad streoids are over in baseball, i'm glad we have had such an amazing player as Barry to watch break the big records IN OUR LIFETIME, and I'm glad he hates the media, they made him out to look like what many people still see him as, an a$$hole cheater who deserves to be stricken from the record books. I think cheering at someone getting hit is wrong. Booing A-rod when he comes back to Seattle is one thing, cheering Bonds for getting hit intentionally is another. People need to get over what Bonds and everyone else did and start to be good baseball fans.

lets see . He is a cheater and a liar . I feel that it does not matter what you did before you cheated .once you have been caught  you should have to step up and be a man ,and take your punishment . the steroids years have hurt baseball how are fans going to be able to trust the players  anymore. I know that no one is perfect but the real reason  behind all of this is greed and jealousy. bonds could not stand by and let sosa and mark get all the attention, they were cheating and people loved them and he thought that if they can do it so can he. well guess what now they are all in the dog house .there is NO WAY that any of them make the HALL of FAME . so let bonds break the record it will alway be tanted and it will be all he has from baseball. long live the memory of  and hank aaron  and roger's 61

I think he's going to end up on the DL again he just doesn't look like he's completely healthy. His last two starts have not been that impressive. His velocity has not been up it's in the mid 80s and he's normally in the low 90s, plus he's been giving up to many home runs.\n\nJune 24\n5.2 IP, 8 hits, 4 runs, 4 er, 2 hr, 2 bb, 4 k, 5.74 era\n\nJune 19\n7.0 IP, 9 hits, 4 runs, 2 er, 2 hr, 1 bb, 5 k, 5.57 era

Keep Him.  At this time last season he had one less homerun and 3 less RBIs, the only difference is his average but there is no doubt he'll finish the season with 30 homeruns, 100 RBIs, 100 Runs and a .280 average.  He never starts the season well.  At the very worst, trade him because just giving him up would not be a good idea.

I would not want Bonds on my team due to the steroid questions that surround him.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his attitude.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his age.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his recent performances.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his salary demands.\n\n\n*Kurt C - Bonds did cheat, he basically has admitted that the substances he thought were harmless, were probably the 'cream' and 'clear' i.e. steroids. \nThe question is whether he knowingly used them, which he says he would never do. And honestly for signing Bonds, it makes no difference, it is a distraction the team can do without.*

You should go out with him, but keep it on the DL, b/c he can get fired.

Nothing will happen but he should be suspended for that crap. You don't send someone out there JUST to hit someone. Leave the pitcher in who was in and get your revenge. That is what the rule is meant to be. Then to PULL him for having enough sense to NOT do it. Come on this crap about oh I meant to have this other guy ready. Uh-huh that is why you pulled him. This AFTER a warning was issued. The Texas Pitcher should be suspended for intentionally hitting the dude twice. Guillen should be thrown out or in the least suspended for his BS rule.

Of course he should. Why not give him the Cy Young as well? I mean, the Yankees have played almost 21% of their schedule already, the season is practically over! Seriously though, let him continue pitching this way into September and then decide. At the end of May of last year Matt Clement was 6-0 with an ERA of 3.01. For the remainder of the year he was 7-6 with an ERA of 5.46. It's nice that Mussina is off to a good start but he has 20+ starts left this year.

hell no....he's gonna start taking batting practice within the next 5 days.  you've had him on your DL for 2-3 months and this guy wants him when he's about to come off.  don't do it!
