When did all this bologna or not stuff about Barry Bonds start up again?

It died off for a while, then the book "Game of Shadows" came out. The authors said they could prove that Bonds was given, and used steriods. The authors are now going to testify proving, as they say, Bonds used steriods.

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.

Those players are not members of the Players Association, and thus the game makers would have had to negotiation with them separately from their agreement with the MLBPA.  The games usually have a fake player with a different name who has the same stats as Bonds (or whichever player).  Barry Bonds is called "Joe Young" in at least some of the games, and if you do a Google search you should be able to find out what the other guys are called.

I totally agree! \nI read an article that was about Barry Bonds BEFORE he made it to the majors.  He was playing in college.  He was so mean and cruel to his good natured teamates (he even broke into the house of one of them to steal some jam) that the coach finally decided to take a vote: should Bonds stay or go?  Bonds was the star of the team, but every player except 2 voted that he should go.  The coach said that since it wasn't ananymous, Bonds would stay.  Good thing, too, because if he had let Bonds go, Barry's 'big, scary daddy' would have beat the coach up.  Barry Bonds has had his hand held, and he's not used to anyone hating him.\nHe couldn't stand the attention Sosa and Mcquire were getting in the homerun race, and so Mr. Attention-seeker got jealous and used steroids, which left him in a big mess. 'Fb2005team3' is right. He was TOTALLY skinny before, and actually a great, HOF bound player!  Now he's a fatso who won't live past 60.

AOL baseball stats indicate Bonds has been hit by pitches 4 times this year. 34 other players in the National League have been hit by 4 or more pitches this year.\n\nIt does not appear pitchers are trying to hit poor Barry.

The Babe was a better all around athlete. He pitched as well as being an outfielder. Only time will tell how Bonds will be judged.

Yes, it's like a deal with the devil. Barry Bonds got a boost in power but he had to give up years of his life for it. Even though he has stopped taking them, the steroids still will play an effect on his body. He knew what he was doing, but I guess he thought breaking the all-time homerun record was worth it. He'll be sorry in about 10 ti 15 years.

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.

Being able to actually "legally" prove that he lied to the Grand Jury can be a tough job! However, I think Bonds knew damned well exactly what supplements and substances he was taking and needs to take full responsibility for these actions. He may not eventually brake Aaron's 755 home run record if he decides not to return in 2007? Poor guy does NOT deserve any more sympathy.  Boo-hoo...Like that old adage: "You do the Crime then You do the time!"

Why does everyone care so much?  I'm getting tired of hearing and watching and reading Bonds, Bonds, Bonds.   Let's not forget that at 30 teams at a 25 man roster, minus Bonds there are 749 other people playing MLB.  Just once,\n can we focus on the good things?

First off, to the guy above me - try spelling "title" right before you type something.\n\nSecond, 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...

It is bogus.  And we need justice to teach our children.\n\nThe investigation about Barry Bond's steroid usage is mainly on if he lied to grand jury.  And yes, there was no regulations about performance enhance drugs.  But many players have admitted they took them - Giambi admitted in grand jury, and he said sorry to fans.  McGwire didn't answer the question in grand jury, he admitted taking "clear", and he is a good role model especailly in St. Louis.\n\nPeople do wrong all the time, but they got forgived by admiting their mistakes.  People who are arrogant about their mistakes are hated by most of the people.  I loved Barry Bonds 10 years ago, but not anymore.\n\nBTW, how many people would cheat to break their godfather's record?

Barry doesnt deserve the record. He isnt even worthy enogh of an asterisk. Barry Bonds is a cheater and should be band from the game with his stats from 1999 - 2004 erased. If you ask me, Barry Bonds was an amazing player and when he started BALCO he destoyed himself. was $7,000,000 not good enogh for him, he needed steroids so he could make more? I will be booing all the way, if he cries, I'll laugh. He will beat the Babe, but lets see him get 300 more home runs without drugs, win 95 games, and use crappier bats, ball, walls 500 feet away, and do it drunk. The Babe is better than Bonds, he has more home runs in less games, that should be the only thing you need to determine whose better. Along with a batting average of .342, I mean c'mon.

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.

You mean which steriods-fueled slugger, or real baseball player?\nBecause Barry Bonds hit the first 9, from 5/1/00 to 5/24/01.\nIn fact, Barry hit 23 of the first 25 Giants splashes, with two from Felipe Crespo (5/28/01 and 7/8/01).\nAlso in 2000, Todd Hundley (LA) and Luis Gonzalez (AZ) hit homers into the bay, but the Giants don't count them as Spash Hits.
