Well I've heard all kinds of crap on the steroids and nobody had explained how it helps a hitter's hand-eye coordination. What's dumb is to think that steroids can make one an overnight MVP. Nobody has said a word about Giambi's sudden drop in power, weight loss and tumor. Yet Bonds shows none of the usage effects and he's pegged as the user. Maybe he did experiment but let's focus on those who can't play now becuase of it.

MAybe Bonds is being Pegged as the User because he was fingered UNDER OATH! And if you look back, plenty has been said about the fact that Giambi had lost all that weight, and his HR pop.

Sorry BUB, worship your hero, but NO ONE and I mean NO ONe, gets BIGGER , STRONGER, and FASTER in thier late thirties without help.

Barry Bonds is a rare baseball talent, he assured himself of a place in the hall of Fame over 10 years ago. He has been a great player his entire career. BUT, he has always been a guy who would hit 300 with 30 HR, 100 RBI and 30 SB. NOW SUDDENLY after 35, he gains MASSIVE Muscle mass and starts hitting HR like crazy --when every single player in ML history starts dropping off --Sorry, wear your rose colored BLINDERS all you want, Barry is juiced!

Nobody's said a word about Giambi? You truly are misinformed. With regard to how steroids benefit a hitter, you must be kidding. Hand-eye coordination and hitting 'ability' aside, if you are much stronger, you hit the ball harder, farther, and with more velocity than you would otherwise. A 370 foot fly-ball out to LF becomes a 400 foot homerun to LF. And routine two-hopper to the shortstop's left, goes quicker and makes it through the infield for a hit. This can't be that hard to figure out, even for someone who is so blinded by race. And by the way, the ballplayer who has taken the biggest hit to his career accomplishments and credibility, due to his behavior, is a white guy, Pete Rose.

Barry is juiced up- big time...no doubt and he is in trouble for his "statements" under oath which uh... were less than totally candid. One should not lie to a federal grand jury- it's not smart!

its a shame that people can't grow old gracefully.....

yeah, but that terrible McGuire who took over the counter legal stuff....yeah, he's the bad one, right?
