what is your take on the syringe being thrown on the field where barry bonds was?

Its kinda weird how everything all of a sudden went directly to Bonds using steroids. Just a few months ago everyone was heated up about the issue with congress. But back to the question, think about if you were hank aaron and this man who has been cheating his whole career is about to break your record. How would you feel? I think that some of the fans are showing there disagreement with his choices in life to use the steroids. Im not saying that it was right to throw the syringe, but but it was kind of funny and barry deserves the embarassment. And once they prove he has used steroids, things will get much worse in terms of fan abuse for barry.

i assume your refering to steroid use and baseball, but probably yes, if i could take something that would enable me to do my job better, and because of it i would recieve promotions and a higher salary, it would be hard to say "No."\nYou bring up a very interesting point with your question. It kinda makes you see the other side of things, and i appreicate your question...\n\n...but i still cant stand Barry Bonds.

He might be a jerk, but MLB didn't do anything to combat the use of steroids in the game, so while he might have used them, he found a loophole to be able to get around it. It's immoral, but it's just as much Bud Selig's fault for looking the other way while this was happening.

Very funny question but i think someone from either team will knock him out after the third run around. The announcers would probably be like is this guy on some kind of new and hallucinogenic substance that the physical cant detect? Joe Torre would probably be like would someone get him off the field get an ambulance or just shoot him damn it?

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 think that they should keep the politics out of the World Baseball Classic and treat it like the Olympics. By not letting the Cuba team play, it will leave the critics too much lead wat to debate the outcome of the VERY FIRST World Baseball Classic. Since it is the 1st one, I believe that it is very important for it to be as successful as possible with as few problems on and off the field as possible. I am very excited about the pride that all the MLB players are taking in this event. \n\nOne more note on Cuba baseball. It is just totally strange to me that the 2 most successful MLB players from Cuba have been involved in Steroid cases leading to me wonder about how great the Cuba baseball organization really is. I am sure that they have good players, but the ones that have made it to the MLB have either been a flop or have been tested for steroids. \n\nI say that the USA team will be more concerned with the DOM REP team than the Cuban Team.....

Half of Shea Stadium booed when they put it up...\nPersonally, I'm glad the media frenzy over Bonds is over.\nThe only other name I'm as sick of hearing is Terell Owens...

I believe Barry...is a lying cheat.\n\n"I've read what was reported," Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, told The Associated Press. "Barry is looking forward to playing this year and the improved health of his knee and being as productive as he's ever been."\nSounds like someone avoiding the question.\n\nQuote from the book:\nHe claimed in testimony that he didn't know what Anderson was giving him. "At the end of [the] 2002, 2003 season, when I was going through [a bad period], my dad died of cancer ... I was fatigued, just needed recovery you know, and this guy says, 'Try this cream, try this cream,'" he said. "And Greg came to the ballpark and said, you know, 'This will help you recover.' And he rubbed some cream on my arm ... gave me some flaxseed oil, man. It's like, 'Whatever, dude.'" \nLater, Bonds said: "You know me, I'm 39 years old. I'm dealing with pain. All I want is the pain relief, you know? ... I never asked Greg," according to the excerpt. "When he said it was flaxseed oil, I just said, 'Whatever.' It was in the ballpark ... in front of everybody. I mean, all the reporters, my teammates. I mean, they all saw it. I didn't hide it ... . You know, trainers come up to me and say, 'Hey, Barry, try this.'"\n\nThat sounds like a health conscious person to me...\nI mean I put stuff into my body all the time not knowing what it is...Stop kidding yourself Barry.

He made a routine grounder in front of the bag and he turned around and slowly jogged to the base all while the runner was hustling at full speed. It looked like he was out in the replay but the ump called him safe. This would have been the third out of the inning but Washington went on to score 4 runs that inning. Adam has had ADD since he was a kid and while he doesn’t place the blame on his ADD it has caused him a few minor problems in the past. Adam is not conceited or arrogant…he made a mistake. The first thing he did after the game was apologize to the manager and to the pitcher. Baseball has to be the worst sport to have ADD in because there is so much down time that can lead to distractions. And while I can’t speak for my fellow braves fans I know I’m not made at him anymore.

I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids. ESPN the Magazine just had a story about him with a picture of him in '93 and one of him recently. Same pose (stretching before going to bat with the bat over his head). He didn't even look like the same person. However, I'm still undecided on whether or not he was aware that he was using steroids. But, it seems to me that'd be kind of hard not to realize that you're getting that much bigger that fast. On the other hand, you still have to have some talent and hand-eye coordination to make contact with the ball. So, it's not like steroids were the only thing that have propelled him to third all-time in HRs. There's talent there, too. But, I love the Giants and I love watching Barry play. I'm glad he's so close to the HR second place record and I hope he breaks Ruth's second place record and comes back again next year. His agent said that he expects him to return next year, just not sure for what team...be a DH in the AL or continue to play for the Giants? I think everyone should just lay off him, though, and let the man play baseball...for goodness sakes' it's just a sport...and, Ruth and Mantle, etc. weren't all exactly saints either...

When the book first came out, I bought it out of morbid curiosity. As you are reading it, you come away with the sense that Canseco is full of himself, acting as this "Steroid Messiah", and stating that all performance enhancing drugs are the way of the future and, if used in moderation, is the wonder drug of the new Millennium. In retrospect, as more and more dirt is getting exposed, while Canseco is a jerk, etc., he was actually on the pulse of the hgh/steroid issue long before anyone was aware of the problem. When the book first came out, I don't think anyone believed him and his statements about the seriousness of the problem. Now it looks like he was only scratching the surface. While his "outing" of his teammates may be looked down upon as backstabbing, in the long run, I feel it will help the game get back to being on a level playing field for all players. Sad that it took this scandal and book, but the end will justify the means I feel.

No, he is not.  Did you see how poorly he did this season when they were testing for steroids.  I think that he stopped using them this season so he would not get in trouble.  If you use steroids, why do you deserve to be on the all time homerun list? Plus, there's the whole cork in the bat incident.  He had to cheat to get his homeruns.

Sadly I would have to agree with you and say that everyone was turning a blind eye to the steroid problem.  The strike of 1994/1995 struck a serious blow to the game that really it has not recovered from.  I hope the independant investigator takes a long look at Selig.

Yes, the Giants do rule. I've always thought Bonds got too much sh*t from the media and from people in general (I've been away from the Bay Area for 8 years, namely in New York City and Detroit, and it seems people in the rest of the country HATE the guy).  Yes, the roids are very probable.  But man, when every damn player and manager in the MLB (and they know better than we do) is awed by the guy's abilities, even though a lot of them probably knew he was doin the roids, it's time to give the guy a little respect.  I think it's sad that he took the steroids.  But you're right, there's a MAJOR double standard for him and all the other pillpoppers.  Just because he's cocky and not always smiley and happy-go-lucky, and then he's black to top it off!  He was getting death threats for daring to go after a white guy's homerun record (both McGwire and Ruth) years ago, so you might say the cockiness is warranted.  Also, the roids were NOT outlawed by the MLB because they LOVED the attention baseball was finally gaining back, nor by the law in general.  I disagree wholeheartedly with their use, and would wag my finger at Bonds (AFTER shaking his hand, getting his autograph, and thanking him for helping the Giants so much) if I met him, but you JUST CAN'T DENY that he's still one of the F-ing greatest players of all time.  Better than McGwire, Sosa, Palmeiro, Sheffield, and Giambi by FAR.
