OnTheRocks Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 He is nutty. Before 2001, he never hit more than 50 HR's. Then...he knocks 73 out of the park? 73??? Good Grief! And he has the balls to say that Sterioids aren't cheating because they don't effect your hand-eye coordination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch19079 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 taking steroids is the same as paying the pitcher to throw you easy pitches. i dont care about his personality, or how he talks to the media.... he cheated. its not a, "simple mistake, and now lets move on" type of thing IMO. but baseball fans dont care. they dont. with all the talk, baseball fans dont care. if they really did care, Jason G. would not be playing baseball again. the yankees are so stupid as to leave out a steroid clause they are stuck with him, and are "backing him" cus they have nothing else to do. i understand they have to pay him, but MLB should step in and say, "you cheated. you confessed to cheating. you get atleast a 1 year suspention. you confessed to the fans, so it proves your guilty, but that doesnt earn our simpothy, cus you didnt even mention steroids in your appology, or even say what you are apologising for." i dont like the asterisk or whatever... your individual records should NOT count PERIOD. but fans dont care. they want to see home runs and there yankees to win. this is why i hate baseball and have a lower opinion of baseball fans.

Phlegm Alley Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I guess Canseco is willing to give up his MVP award from 1988 to Mike Greenwell from the BoSox who came in 2nd that year. Do you think Barry would be willing to give up his 7 MVP awards? Notice since he started using steroids he has won 4 straight MVPS. something is awfully fishy and it isn't the presence of Dolphins posters either.

Baseball is the worst sport in the world. They are all a bunch of pansies and I am dreading the day I have to start watching countless hours of SportsCenter devoted to that crap. I rather watch a scrambled movie on Lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 To me this just makes what Roger Maris did all that more incredible. FU Bonds. FU McGuire. FU Sosa. MLB has become a friggin joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 but fans dont care. they want to see home runs and there yankees to win. this is why i hate baseball and have a lower opinion of baseball fans. 249696[/snapback] A lower opinion of baseball fans? Isn't that being a tad bit too general. Not that you seem to care but the Bonds issue to me is a mute point. Baseball knew what was going on in the late 90's but needed to get people interested in the game again after the strike in 94. They knew at some point it was going to come out in the open and they would deal with it then. Now it's out in the open and the point where baseball is back nearly as popular as it was prior to the strike. No matter what people want to say about Bonds, Giambi, McGwire, Sosa, etc. they revitalized a game that was sagging horribly prior to the 1998 season. They are the ones who brought the game back to it's glory. Say what you want to about cheating but keep in mind not one of these sluggers made an ounce of difference on a WS team. I hate the fact that baseball has to go through this and I'll be glad when it's over but just because something you enjoy gets a black eye doesn't mean you just walk away. The games will still be played. Oh, and I can still take my four year old son to witness a game in person. Unfortunately the same can't be said about going to a football game.

When Yankee and Red Sox SPRING TRAINING tickets are going $20-$40 over face value on ebay and attendance continues to increase 10-15% across the board per year it's going to be hard to boycott what is still the second most popular sport in America.

scribo Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Every morning while I'm eating my cereal I flip back and forth between ESPN and CNN. EVERY SINGLE TIME I turned it to ESPN they were playing a different part of Bonds' press conference. It was like nothing else happend yesterday in sports.

Of course they sure do make a difference between a warning track hit for an out and a home run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
