Hidden: Shit, fan. Fan, shit: From a physiological standpoint, in Bond's case, you can't improve his coordination when it applies to making contact with the ball; however, everything that happens after that is directly affected by the use of steroids. Will baseball fans, 50 or 100 years from now, remember or know that he used steroids? I don't really care. He knows and has to live with that fact the rest of his probably abbreviated life.

BONDS is so overrated...and hes an jerk to his fans and baseball....his old man BOBBY BONDS had more class, and was a better ballplayer..i hope BONDS justs fades away, and no more records he doesnt deserve it, neither did REAL ballplayers like AARON and SAY HEY! shame on you BARRY...you suck, please go away do us a favour.

Dear frazer, Thank's for the advice. Unfortunately, with the total comment count approaching 150 in the other thread, I could not be assured of internet superstardom by having my obviously argument-ending opinion seen by posting it in the aforementioned thread. It became obvious that to win over more hearts and minds, posting my brilliant observations on the topic to the front page was the only option. Your's, Ultrarunner (The above is a poor attempt at humor. I am not Ultrarunner. Also, I am aware the apostrophe placement is incorrect. Carry on. Love, weirdo)

Does anyone care to sell (dump) their Barry Bonds "Memorabilia"? I'm offering top pennies for the first 10 sales! As an aside, I will pay top dollar for a genuine used steroid needle from the Bond's collection if the same comes with a certificate of authenticity.

man why are you guys sweating this guy. so what should baseball do just go off and erase all of the last 15 to 20yrs of baseball history because everyone was cheating. So why don't you guys jump off Barry and go blast Roger Clements. Remember now we know that just because you don't show big muscle growth, i.e.(Raffy), that doesn't mean you don't use.

Yeah, like no one had a clue. Let's just put an asterisk* (for asshole) section in the record books for Mark, Barry, and Rafael, anyone whose numbers are so statistically out of sync with probability.

byrdman822, let me guess you're from the bay area right? because I live here in NorCal and that's like the text book answer always given from Giants fans around here. Give me a break, everyone knows Bonds and a lot of others in baseball have done this but that doesn't make it right and for the good of the game if they have to throw some or all the records out then so be it or what they should really do is do what they would do to me or you if we commented a felony and that's throw there ass in prison and then I promise you that that would clean up this mess faster than anything.

Dear Ultrarunner, Please return to Go, where the FPP guidelines are clearly posted. Read them again, or several times if necessary. Then don't post shit like this again. Love, frazer
