I just think that he's being tarnished because he's not a media suck-up.

That's exactly it. The Keith Olbermann-wannabe sportswriters are leading the attacks, while real athletes like Mike Schmidt, Tony Gwynn, and Dusty Baker are all firmly backing Bonds.

You must be Barry’s brother.

Bonds has been a self-centered jerk since he broke into the league. He has NEVER been liked by major league fans in general, nor by most of his teammates.

He has been wearing that monster brace, THAT NO ONE ELSE IN THE LEAGUE CAN WEAR, for the past 6-8 years. There was a terrific article on FR yesterday about how that brace helps him hit.

Bonds OBVIOUSLY hit the steroids. Everybody knows it. It was testified to in the leaked grand jury proceedings.

Don’t try to feed us a crap sandwich and tell us it is roast beef.

Bonds is a roided up jerk that 95% of baseball doesn’t like. And it would be that way whether he was breaking home run records or not.

yeah, and Willie Mays for gosh sake.

This is a phenomenal record. Like hitting 38 homeruns a year for twenty years. Just amazing!

And ray is spot on. The media has always disliked Bonds and that is his most appealing feature, that he is not a media whore, and not the programmed, "gosh-shucks" pseudo-humble jock. He is a hitting and stealing machine, the 7 time MVP. Hooray for Bonds.
