I’m with you! Below is a post I made on another thread...thought you might appreciate it! ;>)
Flame on, but I was there, and it was AWESOME! Personally I see Bonds derangement syndrome as similar to Bush derangement syndrome. The press has made a decision to pillory both of them, and we are expected to just take the press at their word. I don’t accept the press assessment of either of them.
Performance enchament talk, talk of stupidity it’s all the same to me. I believe what I see and some of what I hear. In Bond’s case I have watched him since his high school days at Serra in San Mateo. The man has always had talent. What he may or may not have used, you can’t take away the fact that he is an awesome athlete. The press has chosen to make him the poster boy for steroid use. He has never failed a drug test, and what he may or may not have used was not illegal at the time it was used. Bud Selig turned a blind eye in the early days, and now wants to use Bonds as his whipping boy. So be it. But, I choose to believe my lying eyes over the press’s words. What I have seen over the years is AWESOME.
Flame on. ;>)
