Junk Bonds

May 21st, 2006 · 4 Comments · 18 views

Barry Bonds tied Babe Ruth on the home run list this past weekend….and who really cares?

The whole thing is sad and disgusting. Major League Baseball is a joke, thanks to the steriods, HGH, the Player’s Association that protects the cheaters, the Owners who are to scared to do anything about it, and the fans who keep coming back to the ballpark.

As far as Bonds goes - he’ll never be legit. It’s one thing to cheat. It’s another to be a complete horse’s butt in the process. ESPN gets some of my wrath as well. A ‘documentary’ on Bonds as the victim?

Here’s what just blows my mind…remember when Jordan quit basketball to play baseball? Remember all the grief he got from magazines and tv shows? Why? Because we are selfish brats and we were robbed seeing Jordan put up ungodly numbers and win 8 titles in a row. And maybe we did get robbed that - but the man didn’t cheat and he treated the media and his fans well.

Contrast that with Bonds who from day one has acted like spoiled brat. And this isn’t over. He’ll try to get on an American League team as a DH next year, he’ll try to reach Hank Aaron and we’ll talk about it again.

Then when he retires we’ll talk should he be in the Hall of Fame. The answer is no - he shouldn’t. He shouldn’t be playing baseball right now. But he is. And he probably will. And it’s all a joke.

    Absolutely, Bonds should be fired from baseball. He doesn’t deserve to be mention with the greats such as the Babe.

    Preach it, brother! Why he’s still playing is a guess! It’s a good thing cycling or track & field folks aren’t running baseball. There would be a lot fewer players involved in baseball, including Bonds.

    OK, so I’m ranting a bit.

    I agree Grant Bonds is embarrassing to baseball and so are the people who won;t stand up and do anything about it. In saying that though you can’t say that all of the league is a joke there are some true and honest teams out there.
