Bonds seems like a selfish kind of guy (he collects hella memorabilia of himself if I understood that right on "Bonds on Bonds"), but like most athletes I have to assume he wants a championship more than anything. If he was simply about records, you'd think he'd want to go to the AL so he could DH.

If Barry Bonds retired in 1998, he would be a hall of famer. The second he rubbed on the cream, injected the clear, posed for ZMA, he ruined his life. Barry Bonds does not deserve the hall of fame. He cheated. Winners never cheat. Cheaters never win. Besides if he was in the hall of fame, they couldnt make a plaque because his head is too big.

I believe Barry...is a lying cheat.\n\n"I've read what was reported," Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, told The Associated Press. "Barry is looking forward to playing this year and the improved health of his knee and being as productive as he's ever been."\nSounds like someone avoiding the question.\n\nQuote from the book:\nHe claimed in testimony that he didn't know what Anderson was giving him. "At the end of [the] 2002, 2003 season, when I was going through [a bad period], my dad died of cancer ... I was fatigued, just needed recovery you know, and this guy says, 'Try this cream, try this cream,'" he said. "And Greg came to the ballpark and said, you know, 'This will help you recover.' And he rubbed some cream on my arm ... gave me some flaxseed oil, man. It's like, 'Whatever, dude.'" \nLater, Bonds said: "You know me, I'm 39 years old. I'm dealing with pain. All I want is the pain relief, you know? ... I never asked Greg," according to the excerpt. "When he said it was flaxseed oil, I just said, 'Whatever.' It was in the ballpark ... in front of everybody. I mean, all the reporters, my teammates. I mean, they all saw it. I didn't hide it ... . You know, trainers come up to me and say, 'Hey, Barry, try this.'"\n\nThat sounds like a health conscious person to me...\nI mean I put stuff into my body all the time not knowing what it is...Stop kidding yourself Barry.

first off the MLB doesnt give anyone drugs. the current situation surrounding barry bonds is his past use of performance enhancing drugs i.e steroids. if it ends up being proven that he has used these drugs major league baseball will not aknowledge his accoplishments.

Barry Bonds would not still be playing if he had not taken performance enhancers.  Yes, he is a great home run hitter, but no one, NO ONE, has ever doubled their home run-to-at-bat ratio at the age of 39 or 40.  Why?\n\nAdvancing age decreases home run output for everyone.  UNLESS you are elongating your career with performance enhancers.  In short, Barry Bonds is cheating every single player who ever played straight.\n\nFrom 2000-2005, Barry Bonds should have half the home runs he hit nullified.  These are the dates that he is documented as having been taking performance enhancing drugs.  These are the dates his home run-to-at-bat ratio doubled.\n\nBaseball needs to take action on this for the integrity of the game, and for the honor of every Major League player who did not enhance their skills with some kind of substance.  The fans deserve to know that their favorite players can be looked up to for the skills they were born with.  Not for trying to beat the system, and us, for the sake of more money.\n\nBarry Bonds is a great player, and he is also a selfish, delusional, misguided sociopath who thinks the rules don't apply to him.  That is a great message to send to our kids.\n\nHis punishment will send a message that sportsmanship is not dead.  Even though there is trash talking, fights, and huge egos, a line has to be drawn at performance enhancing substances.  You and I can't get away with it, so why should our athletes.

Yes, Barry Bonds should retire. Basseball is a team sport. It seems that Bonds is only intrested in breaking the homerun record and not the welfare of his team. He is over rated.

I totally agree! \nI read an article that was about Barry Bonds BEFORE he made it to the majors.  He was playing in college.  He was so mean and cruel to his good natured teamates (he even broke into the house of one of them to steal some jam) that the coach finally decided to take a vote: should Bonds stay or go?  Bonds was the star of the team, but every player except 2 voted that he should go.  The coach said that since it wasn't ananymous, Bonds would stay.  Good thing, too, because if he had let Bonds go, Barry's 'big, scary daddy' would have beat the coach up.  Barry Bonds has had his hand held, and he's not used to anyone hating him.\nHe couldn't stand the attention Sosa and Mcquire were getting in the homerun race, and so Mr. Attention-seeker got jealous and used steroids, which left him in a big mess. 'Fb2005team3' is right. He was TOTALLY skinny before, and actually a great, HOF bound player!  Now he's a fatso who won't live past 60.

He has a disgusting curveball.  Looks like a high fastball, then falls straight down.  Struck out both Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran looking in NLCS Game 7 without argument... just filthy pitching.\n\nAlso has good fastball (think he touches 94,95 with it) and a slider.  You don't need much else to be a good set-up guy.

Because Bonds is a JERK

I guess you can look at it as he found a loophole.  We should blame MLB just as much as Bonds.  But, it still doesn't change the fact that what he did was wrong.  I personally think he is a cheater and should be banned from baseball and Hall of Fame.

No....why do you think he can barely walk?  That is the only reason he used steroids was to help with the healing process of his knees.  This steroid thing is getting SOOOOO old!\n\nTo those who defend Bonds and say he never used steroids....I have 2 words for you.  Cream.  Clear.  \n\nUnfortunate, yes, but take the blinders off and face it...whether he knew it or not.  Steroids was in his repertoire and that's a fact.

I think he definitely is weaker this season, probably because he is not using steroids anymore because of the new, tougher steroid penalty. ( 50 games first offense, 100 games second offense, and a lifetime ban for a third.) He also does not have much protection in the lineup behind him, so he wont get as many pitches to hit, therefore is porbably not going to break Hank Aaron's career home-run record this year.

I'm with you.  He's a spoiled rotten jerk and I'm tired of hearing about him.  If you haven't read the Sports Illustrated steroid issue about him, it's very telling.  Especially entertaining was listening to him bellyache about racism.  Here's hoping he doesn't break the record of Hank Aaron, who's a hero and went thru HELL to get there!

Considering he's played with the O's, Diamondbacks and Royals lately I'd say most of those names come from those rosters. Palmiero is one that jumps up right away. Curt Schilling is a possibility even though he was gone before Grimsley got to Arizona. Many of the players are likely to be journeymen like himself. However there may be some stars. Grimsley was teamates with players like Beltran and Sweeney.  Sidney Ponson might be another name to pop up.  Barry Bonds apparently has been linked to HG drugs before and it appeared the feds wanted Grimsley to get Bonds for them. So there is a strong chance that Bonds a known steroids user will be scooped up in this. Other steroid users like Sosa and Giambi might be on the list as well. In fact I'd be really surprised if Sosa doesn't turn up in this scandal. He used corked bats, steroids and every other method of cheating, why not the HG formulas?

I think Mike Piazza could re-sign with the Padres for probably a year.  And Bonds I would have have to say retires not becoming the all-time homerun king (which I hope happens) unless a team is really desperate for attendance. But I wouldn't take attendance over laziness and a guy who has nothing left in his tank. All he's good for now are walks.
