OK, all you Bonds/Balco apoligists.....CHECK IN!!!!

Back on Sept. 14, there was a Bonds thread here, and I laid out my case against Bonds (unconscionable cheat) and the other Balco clients---and I was subsequently flamed and napamled to a crisp by SF fans calling me a 'hater' saying I knew nothing about baseball after watching it for 20 years, and people coming up with the most insane defenses to account for Bonds' freakish surge in playing ability (in the twilight of his career, no less....You posters know who you are, and it's time to take your medicine


just a couple of snippets from my post on that thread (I cut and pasted my posts just for this enviable occasion)

"If you're tight with Barry (you have defended him here admirably) maybe you can ask him yourself next time you see him...I am confident that time will eventually prove me right on this matter...all it takes is a little investigative journalism, and a whistleblower on the inside..."

"p.s.: I was never a Fred McGriff fan, but when he first retired, a journalist asked what he was most proud of. his answer? "The fact that I still have the same body I came into the league with." just food for thought."

1. I didn't weigh in one way or another, but...

Good for fucking you. You want a medal or something?

[Blue_Tires]

2. no, no medal

just basking in the vindication of being right (again) when 30 ppl told me i was dead wrong

3. Not just Bonds.

they're all jerks

the thing that pisses me off the most is the way the NY media is destroying Giambi right now but had little criticism of Sheffield last summer.

If you're on the juice and hitting home runs you get a slap on the wrist. But if you're on the juice and not performing you get run out of town on a rail.

Typical of our new moral values.

5. The same shit happened to me

I glad that juicer and his fans are having to finally eat crow.

Strip that mofo of his records, put a HUGE * by his name, and never let him in the hall.

6. All I can say is if people thought pro-ball players were natural

Then what the fuck were they smoking?

Ball players (of all sports) have been doping since the 80's. They just found a way to get around the tests, that's all...

8. Not just ball players

Track & field has had a lot of drug problems, but at least they crack down and have harsh penalties for violations

7. I ain't no apologist.

Bonds' 2004 season has been said to be the best season ever by any player. And the numbers aren't from drugs.

Not saying he didn't TAKE them- obviously, he did. I'm saying that when you compare his numbers to others who took them, there is something there that is NOT in their numbers.
