THAT'S assuming his stopping taking them allows the 39 year-old Bonds to function better than the washed-up Sosa and hard-working, yet diminished Giambi.
He should just retire....it's obvious to anyone that he cheated and breaking Aaron's record would be an insult. I'll give him credit for being a legit 500 homer and 500 steal guy and for being an OBP machine who refused to swing at bad pitches but no way was he the nest HR hitter of all time.
If he is taking steroids then the healing process can be affected.
Steroid use can cause excessive bleeding even after they are stopped.
Aw, hell -- I'm just feeling lucky today.
Many have said Bonds will not return to the game until his knee is healthy and he's sure that he can't test positive for 'roids. Either takes time.
I had to LOL when I heard Felipe Alou still has to get his updates from reporters or Bonds's blog. Barry's still a real piece o' work.
Players on the DL are still subject to random drug and steroids testing, and if I'm not mistaken Bonds had to submit a sample this year.
Yo:
I am from Pittsburgh originally, and have followed Barry Bonds' career relatively closely from a statistical and public pronouncements standpoint. His stats are beyond incredible and astounding!
If I could say one thing it would be:
Hey, give Barry some space!
You have to give him props regarding his move to San Francisco.
At that time it was relatively normal for a guy to have a great year at the end of his contract. It is said they are showing what they can do.
Well, Barry took the money (no one can fault him for that), and promptly had consistent tremendous seasons year in and year out. No flops. No years off. He was the man year in and year out.
Give him the props.
I don't know any of the details about when he came in contact with creams and clear, but apparently BEFORE he did...he was consistently excellent anyway.
If I were in his shoes, TRUST is the main thing with every person he has contact with. If his trust is greatest with his wife...so be it. If his trust is greatest with this doctor...so be it. It is his life, his knee, his career...don't fault him for calling his shots.
We live in America with freedom and liberty. Thank God Curt Flood broke the hold teams had on men back then.
Let Barry walk in his freedom...it is HIS! He will live with the consequences.
Finally, Hank Aaron had different pressures. Barry has different pressures. You cannot compare them!
It must be incredibly difficult being Barry. This is a jaded world will live in. It very difficult to maintain trustworthy relationships at all, let alone living under the microscope that is professional sports.
I find it amazing that someone in his position can continue to flash that incredible million dollar smile, and I give him props for being able to still do that at 41 as well!
We don't own him. We don't have rights to him. No one does!
I am thankful for Barry Bonds, for the gifts God has given him to do what he does. He has been an inspiration to me going way back to Pittsburgh.
Allow Barry the freedom to be Barry!
How many knee operations does it take to fully cleanse steroids from a person's system?
Bonds is baseball's T.O. Both loud mouthed, overpaid, spoiled rich ball players who think just because they play sports, they are above and beyond everyone else. I wouldn't give you 15 cents for either of them.
dollars to donuts he doesn't come back...
"After further consoltation with my doctors and discussion with my wife and family, I have decided to retire."
"Don't cry for me, Argentinaaaaaaaaaaa"
Bonds' knee has turned to Cream of Wheat!
(Am I fired?)
What happened o home runs in MLB?
A Jones of Atlanta is #1 with 38 HR's with 43 games to go
Will anyone break 50?
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I wish I could get paid $22 million dollars this year for doing absolutely nothing except working out in the gym a little!
Twist, Twist Señora!
