he cheated. and now hes basking in what cheating has gotten him. well he better enjoy it for now because this record is going to be broken by a legitimate hitter from ny within ten short years. and whatever bonds accomplished is going to be treated as sourly as is how all roids-tainted accomplishments are.

....until steroids and A-Rod are associated together. This is the steroid era. NO ONE can be looked past. I hear people jerking A-Rod off all the time, drooling for the day he breaks the record. Yet, no one is associating his muscle growth, to that of Bonds or anyone else using enhancing drugs. I'm not saying A-Rod is using them, but it's just comical how people don't even seem to be raising the possibility.
All you people who are getting hardons over the thought of A-Rod breaking Bonds record..... how you going to feel if it comes out that A-Rod or Clemens or any other stud was found to be using the same growth hormones?

Congrats at best for the record, but there is no fucking way this guy is "the best player we will ever see." Home Run champ and best player are very different animals.
I just hope Barry's body holds up for him as he ages. The "secret creams" have been known to have adverse effects on your body.
Now pass me that shit your smoking!
:bunnies:
Right on the money!
With today's technology and popularity of the athletes, it's so much easier to find out if & when an athlete is using steroids. We can't say for sure that Aaron wasn't using them. The amount of tv coverage, sports writers, methods of investigation and communication techniques that we have today, is enormous, compared to what we had in the Aaron playing days. He could of hid any kind of steroid use so much easier back then.
Im not even a Barry Bonds fan, i just appreciate the history of breaking the record. Barry has been the best player in the game since the late 80's so to say he is only where he is today because of steroid use is ignorant. No one since Babe Ruth has comanded the respect of opposing pitchers and coaches like Bonds. Even when he is going bad at the plate he is still on base twice a game! And as far as him cheating there are two areas that have to be considered: 1- The game is dirty, way more than most of the public cares to realize. Look at the list of great hitters and pitchers that have fallen to average since the testing began. Hard to only blame Bonds for the mistake of the majority of his peers.
2- There is no proof he even did it. Don't get me wrong im not saying he didn't, in fact i believe he did, but you cant persecute someone because you think he did.
Cheating is doing something to makes the game an un-level playing field. By Bonds juicing he was giving himself the same chance at success as all the other stars in the game. Again i dont condone it, just the reality of the game in my opinion.
