Selig should have three leagues: American, National and JUICE.

I realize you’re new here,

No I'm not.

there are MILLIONS who do care as judged by MLB attendance...

I highly doubt those millions of people care about who takes what. Some yes, all NO.

I suppose congress was doing a service to the millions of people in attendance at MLB games by investigating steroid use?

As I said before, Boo Hoo. Who cares!

You obviously don’t get the concept of sports and competition either.

I do not care about this.

Roids are cheating, pure and simple.

Boo Hoo. Who cares.

The minute I see “according to unnamed sources” I ignore everything else.

More of your naivete showing. You think that college athletes all over the country aren’t taking steroids or HGH, even today? And please, your ‘I’m too busy making a living’ is about as weak as the arguments you made on this thread. But make sure you pass along to your sons that mindset, the one that excuses illegality and bad decision-making as long as society isn’t currently enforcing any deterrent against that action. That’s great.

What arguments have I made. Steroids are illegal and stupid, and BFD that spoiled overpaid athletes use them. I’ve better things to think about. Obviously you don’t.

BTW, my son who was the MVP of his HS league in football, played on a CA state HS championship basketball team, was the scholar-athlete in a three county area comprised of nearly 1 million residents, played semi-pro baseball, and now is in pre-med classes (as well as continuing to play college baseball), thinks you're an a-hole.

He's generally a very good judge of character....

I realize you’re new here,

“No I'm not.”

So what was your screen name before you were banned.

“Boo Hoo. Who cares?”

so, if you don't “care” why are you here?

and as I said before, because many play the game and follow baseball;
many obviously “do care”

Class Dismissed.

You’re probably right about Bonds’ character, but we’ve watched him since his high school days, and it’s been an amazing journey!!

The one thing I can say, is that I actually have watched him with people one on one away from the cameras, and he can be a very kind person, especially to kids. I’d also say he appears to be a good father.

Personally I think he had earned a spot in the Hall of Fame before the steroid use......too bad he got caught up in all the nonsense. I have to admit I take a bit of pleasure in the A Rod announcements. When Bonds was first being pilloried I would occasionally try to stick up for him, and one of the main things I’d have thrown at me was what a great player A Rod was, and how he did it all by staying clean. Guess time tells................... ;>)
