3. Wow, Upton. You posted a picture of a guy who "unknowingly" got the most home runs.
Sheesh!

7. I know the source of your problem with Bonds
you wanted Barry to forever stay a member of the Pirates, can't say as I blame you considering they haven't had a winning season since he left.

Barry wanted to go home, back to the great city where he grew up....so he said goodbye to the pollution of Pittsburgh and returned to the beautiful Bay Area. Hence, you can't forgive him and continue to try and hang your hat on these trumped up steroid charges..

Anyway, here's Barry back in Pittsburgh...so you can remember the good old days, back when the Pirates actually used to win.

13. Back up?
On the other thread you just got done insinuating I was cboy...One thing mad, if nothing else, at least try to be consistent.

Another thing mad, I've noticed over the last hour the quality of your posts has deteriorated substantially...wild accusations and so on. Maybe you've had a hard day, perhaps need some sleep...I don't know, but in the future, please try to do better.

15. Upton. Please, for the love of Christ, be serious.
Bonds-cheater. McGuire-cheater. Sosa-cheater. You and cboy defending Bonds. Just absurd. Pete Rose. Not in the Hall of Fame. But these assholes got a shot? What's fucking wrong with that picture?

18. Pre-Steroid obviously
Dude..I'm sure he tested positive in 2003 as well..In fact he's admitted that although he's used the lame excuse "flaxseed oil". But if you put THAT picture next two his San Fran picture...Its a classic case of how steroids change your body. Remember I have a relative who has been on steroids for many years..I know EXACTLY what it does to ones body.

19. He was also a lot younger then
who doesn't gain weight as they age? Plus, there are other ways to bulk up besides steroids. Anyway, if you're such an "expert" on the subject... why didn't you see A-Fraud as a user?

In fact, you and the little cabal of Bonds haters we have here at the sports forum were, before the latest revelations, frequently using Rodriquez as an example of a power hitter who wasn't dirty.

21. We all admire your spirited defense of Mr. Bonds, Upton.
But there is no small cabal of Bonds haters. I use to feel the same way about Lance Armstrong. The bottom line is this. Bonds juiced. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. When all is said and done, this steroids period will be the biggest blight on the history of Baseball. Bigger than the Black Sox of 1919. Bigger than the Strikes that threatened the existance of the sport. In the end, your argument for Bonds is like studying 18th century French Literature in school. Just an incredible waste of time.

22. A-rod doesn't have the "moon face" so it wasn't visibly obvious
Barry Bonds has a classic Steroid Moon face. BTW, McGwire has the same type of Steroid body changes as bonds and so to some extent Sosa. So I'm not singling Bonds out here.

16. No Surprise. But, Let's Talk Lawyers
Lawyers for the U.S. attorney's office leaked this information. They should be disbarred as close to immediately as possible.

I'm not defending anybody on that list. They're cheaters. But, lawyers leaking information sealed by the court should be punished at least as strongly as the cheating players.
