I hope Bonds hits 713 home runs and get hits by a bus. I can't stand that racist!

ROFLMAO!!!!! I can't stand his attitude. He waited his entire career to play in a World Series, and what does he do when he gets there? He bitches and moans about the media. He doesn't deserve the record anyway, because he's juiced. I will never acknowledge or accept him as the homerun champion. He gets a great big asterisk beside his name in my book. Aaron never cheated.

Don't know what you're talking about. When Bonds got there he had one of the best performances in series history.

"Aaron never cheated"

Don't know if that's true or not, but players in the 60's and 70's weren't exactly choir-boys.

Amphetamine use was rampant, and it's naive to think that players didn't use anything and everything to get an edge.

And, if you look at which player position is testing positive for steroids in MLB, it's been mostly Pitchers.

So does their use of Steroids "cancel out" the edge Bonds got by allegedly using steroids?

And as pointed out earlier, Bonds put up some amazing numbers in the WS

The reason Bonds dislikes the media (as do many of us) is the way they treated his Dad, former Major Leaguer Bobby Bonds, who they crowned "The next Willie Mays"

When Bobby Bonds couldn't live up to the media's artificially high expectations, they roasted him in the press.

Bonds see's the media for what they are, and that is why he's not a media friendly ballplayer.

I can't fault him for being a jerk to the media. If I could mess with them as much as possible, hell- I'd do it in a second.
