Does anyone care as much as the media about Barry Bonds? In my opinion, any record he "breaks" is bogus.

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 Bonds is in a class by himself.  No class.  He should have learned more from his Godfather about how to be a baseball hero/legend instead of a jerk.

I think Barry Bonds cares where Barry Bonds ends up..but thats about it lol

If McGwire were still playing, he'd likely have the same steroid cloud over him that Bonds does.  While Bonds being a jerk certainly contributes to his being "hassled", most of the trouble is based on the belief that he has not achieved his records fairly.

I am very happy...I hate Barry Bonds and hope he does not break Hank's record.  Hank Aaron did it on talent and Barry is just full of lies and steroids!!

I guess you can look at it as he found a loophole.  We should blame MLB just as much as Bonds.  But, it still doesn't change the fact that what he did was wrong.  I personally think he is a cheater and should be banned from baseball and Hall of Fame.

I think they'll honor it just like any other record, if he does break the record.  They didn't say that wouldn't.  Steroids were banned just recently, and they can't go back and enforce something that was legal back then.  Otherwise, they would have to go back and investigate every single player since the start of baseball in order to have no discrimination and that's not going to happen.

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

no. two reasons. number 1 its eveident that barry bonds has cheated, look at his body 2 years ago and look at his body today. its obvious he used steroids, so that makes hima cheater and number 2 this isnt the all time home run record, that belongs to hank aaron with 755

I'm no Bonds fan but tonight I heard just in his past 5 to 8 years he has really been hitting his home runs. witch i think he was on drugs and Babe did it on hot dogs and beer. But if people want Bonds out of the record book you also have to take out Mark McGuire(or how ever its spelled St. Louis sucks any ways)

I hold Mark McGwire just as responsible for the downfall of integrity in baseball as I do Mr Bonds.  If I had my way there would be asterisks next to all their numbers.  I think there will be.  \n\nTo answer your question, Mr Bonds is still playing, therefore he is getting the brunt of the attention.  By the way it looks as though Mr Bonds is having all kinds of trouble with negative attention...I wonder why?

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.

Everyone knows that Barry Bonds uses steroids.  And the concept of accidentally using steroids, does anyone really believe that?  That's like accidentally smoking crack!  Bonds case should be looked at a little more carefully than it is.  Major League Baseball isn't even really paying attention to the claims of his use.  I think the main reason for this is because he broke the single season HR record, and how would they handle that situation?  They couldn't just take them away there would be too much criticism over that one.  But, he should be fines, suspended, and investigated more thoroughly.  My main question is where was he when they had Sosa, Palmeiro, Schilling, Thomas, and McGwire?

Yes to both McGwire and Bonds.  Nobody has definitively proven they broke any rules of baseball.  Keep in mind that in the speculation of when McGwire took steroids it was not a banned substance.  Canseco?  I don't think his numbers were there.  He was great in the 80's and very early in the 90's but he did not have a HOF career.  He did however have a very good career.

While there have been many allegations, I don't know of Bonds ever actually failing a drug test.\n\nHow many of the pitchers he hit off of were on steroids?\n\nWhen he breaks the record it will be his and unless he fails a future drug test NO ASTERISK.

No, and who cares. It's not like it's the main big record or anything important.\n\nFace it, babe ruth's is history, just another player who played the game...no longer a legend in his own mind.

Absolutely!  I agree with your reasoning, but I want the record away from Bonds even more.  I'd like to see it belong to someone legit so it is not disputed, and then have it stand for a long time.
