MLB was in the dumps until when? When McGwire and Sosa were chasing the record. It was exciting! Maybe Bonds saw these guy getting a lot of positive attention and decided to try it for himself. Maybe he did it to prolong his career. If I were making 20 Million plus a year and could take something to continue to make that kind of money, I would. And I think most would. The government has WASTED many millions of dollars chasing irrelevance. Meanwhile, MLB has sat back and tried to act innocent. MLB turned the cheek. MLB knew what was going on and did absolutely nothing about it. RATINGS AND REVENUE WERE THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!! This is not Barry Bonds’ fault. Say what you will about the man. But he was one of the BEST selective, pure hitters to ever play the game. Steroids don’t teach you how to swing (Ask Jose Canseco). In ending my rambling, do you want to know the true sad part of this entire, waste of time ordeal? Many MLB players admitted to CHEATING. Many MLB players admitted to LIEING. And yet they are still playing the game. Meanwhile, Pete Rose is still banned. TALK ABOUT HYPOCRISY!

I have zero doubt that Bonds is the lousy creep of a human being that he has always been accused of being over the years and I wish nothing but trouble for him, but I wish they would cut him loose just so we wouldn’t have to hear his name again. He and Clemens are representative of baseballs sad past and they need to just go away like Sosa and the other losers who threw away their legacy. You have a lousy guy in Bonds and just as lousy people making up the witness list against him. All of this being handled by a government who just might possibly have bigger fish to fry in the world. It’s all an amazing joke.

Wait and see if he’s found guilty over this. The appeals should cost us millions more, chasing a a man for using drugs.

Clemens asked to testify before Congress. He dragged himself into the legal process.

Flaxseed oil can be taken by capsule; using it doesn’t require sticking a syringe in your buttocks! The most damning evidence of all though is the way that Barroid’s head blew up to the size of a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade balloon while playing for the Giants in his mid-30′s. He didn’t knowing use steroids and Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman!!! LOL!!! I hope they hang him!

A lot of baseball players are bleepholes. Randy Johnson is a prime example. Being a bleephole doesn’t make you a steroid user. So if they can’t prove the steroid use – especiallly with Anderson in jail, why is our time and money being wasted with Bonds? Drop it. The whole world is against the guy already. What is it that they think they can accomplish. Move on. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

It’s very easy to dismiss this as a complete waste of time (which it pretty much is), but if the MLB made a concerted effort to investigate this when it was happening, it may not have been necessary for congress to investigate it now. Also, many of them were stupid enough to perjure themselves in front of congress… so there’s always that.

I don’t think it really matters. Casual viewers of ESPN have been following this anyways and have already formed their opinions. If CNN/Fox/MSNBC were covering the trial and brought him in, I could see your point.

This has always appeared as a campaign of “Bonds is a jackass”, which, if you go off the media coverage, he is. This whole thing has been a farce from the beginning and it’ll be a great day when Bonds, Clemens, and everyone else being dragged through this crap finally get to move on with their lives. I’m tired of hearing about these guys and of the government wasting money going after people that MLB/NFL/any other organization doesn’t care to investigate themselves.

I find it incredibly biased that ESPN is using one of the authors of “Game of Shadows” as its trial analyst. How can Mark Fainaru-Wada offer any legitimate analysis, seeing how he has made significant money trashing Bonds?

I don’t think Bonds is necessarily innocent, but to have such biased coverage is irresponsible in my opinion.
