I am no fan of Bonds or baseball in particular, but is there a bigger media whore in the sport than Curt Schilling.
Shut your mouth! That blood was real!
Possibly having cheated on his wife or on his taxes isn’t pertinent to the Bonds home run issue....but steroids are.Those who believe that Bonds *hasn’t* taken steroids are the same folks who believe that Clinton really *didn’t* have sexual relations with “that woman” and who still believe in the tooth fairy.
The local Bay Area media are salivating all over themselves as they do the countdown to tying and exceeding the HR record... obviously, nothing else as mentioned by Schilling is worthy of mention by them..
Young Barry was able to perform as an All-Star without “assists”, now that old Barry is again “assists”-free agian, it seems nothing really matters as to what came between.
MLB ... What have you become?
Guess Curt is referring to Kimberly Bell and her revelation that Barry shot-up Steroids in front of her.
Hank Aaron will ALWAYS be the HR king!

Bonds admitted to using steroid in his grand jury testimony. He tried to excuse his use of “the cream” and “the clear” by saying he didn’t know what was in them. This was total BS. Schilling just said what every sports fan, outside of the Bay Area, and every other athlete felt. He didn’t just blurt this out, it was an answer to a direct question. It was part of a weekly radio interview; the only interview he does with the press other than post game press conferences on the nights he pitches. The only reason he does this weekly interview is because the radio station donates the money to an ALS charity. How, then, do you come to the conclusion that the man is a “media whore”?
He admitted to taking the cream and the clear, but said he thought they were flaxseed oil and a pain relieving balm.
He has definitely admitted to taking steroids, but has not admitted to knowingly taking them.
“Bonds told a U.S. grand jury that he used undetectable steroids known as “the cream” and “the clear,” which he received from personal trainer Greg Anderson during the 2003 season. According to Bonds, the trainer told him the substances were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a pain-relieving balm for the player’s arthritis.
According to government attorneys, BALCO founder Victor Conte has identified the designer steroid THG as “the clear.” A testosterone-based ointment was identified as “the cream.” Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery testified that Conte used flaxseed oil containers to send “the clear” to athletes.”

“but is there a bigger media whore in the sport than Curt Schilling.”
Ping to you.I suspect the Red Sox management is getting tired of his act.They declined to give him an extension on his contract before this year.
FWIW, Bonds is no Hank Aaron and Bonds is no Babe Ruth. Bonds is not fit to tie their shoes. Heck, he’s not fit to tie Pete Rose’s shoes.
I am rooting for Bonds to break the so-called “record” that Aaron “holds” because it is so phony to begin with. Aaron hit 755 homers in almost TWICE the number of At-Bats (12,364) as Babe Ruth (8,399). If the Babe had hung around as long as Aaron, he would have had over 1400 homers! Ruth’s record was a far greater feat. Aaron does not deserve the record. Bonds has very nearly equaled that heat, having had only 1,000 more at-bats as Ruth. But to me the greatest record is HR/at-bat, and it is doubtful that anyone over 500 HRs will ever equal Ruth.
I’m a steroid-free weightlifter.
He used steroids to bulk up as he did. No question about it.
What baseball and the fans do with that is up to them.
