Great, barry bonds used steroids.. big ******* deal. Seriously its such BS about people talking about a "tainted record" STFU. QQ. Who cares? There are numerous players that have taken/take steroids, and do you see them hitting 756 homeruns? no, i dont think so. speaking from experience, it takes a little bit more than some steroids to hit a 90 + MPH baseball. i mean i could just go on and on, but it just pisses me off thinking about it.. OH and one other thing. His elbow protector. HAHA. "He wouldnt have hit so many without it." you HAVE to be kidding me. it all comes down to, americans just like drama and just hate on everyone who does something good. theres numerous examples, and this is why we are going to fail as a country. gg.

Has everyone forgotten about Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak? I think that is the most unbreakable record in Sports. I would like to hear your thoughts.

Say for example, instead of removing the pitcher from the game, the manager moves him to right field, removes the fielder from the game and then brings in a new pitcher. Would the pitcher/outfielder then be eligible to pitch again later in the game?

For the steroid fiasco that has overshadowed the great game of baseball this past decade? Who deserves the biggest slice of blame pie? The players and trainers for doing it as long as they could get away with it? Major League Baseball for being asleep (or awake and blind) at the controls until the poo hit the fan? The fans and media for perpetuating the controversy?

What do you say?

I know Sandy, Jr. is still playing backup, Sandy, Sr. is a base coach somewhere in the majors and Roberto retired from the Devil Rays but then what happened to Roberto? I used to be a huge Alomar fan, a lot of people were fans. It seems that when he went to the Mets it was all downhill from there. Any info on Roberto Alomar and what he is doing now?

Brett Boone, Andruw Jones, Brady Anderson, Jeff Kent, Rich Aurilia, Jose Canseco, Richie Sexson, Adrian Beltre, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada, Derek Lee, David Ortiz, Pudge Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, Bobby Abreu, Jason Giambi, Todd Helton, Troy Glaus, Luis Gonzalez, and why not even Albert Pujols.

Every person named above had a few incredible years with inflated stats. Then suddenly, has had a serious power outage. (except A-Rod, who is probably still juicing).

Can you think of anybody else to add to this list? If you blame Barry, blame all these guys too, and throw in Bud Selig who now has millions more dollars in his pocket. He could have made them illegal years ago when he first found out.

be themselves. Johnny Damon was way better when he had the long hair/beard jesus look with the Red Sox, now he just doesn't seem like himself, and his stats show it. Same with Giambi. In Oakland, he sported long hair and a goat-tee. George made him shave that thing as soon as he got to NYC. Sure, he had a few good years, but he still probably wanted to grow the beard back. He hates shaving, same with Damon. Also, when Clemens was able to sport a goat in Toronto, he had his 2 best years ever. I say lose the no facial hair rule. And if the Yankees bring in Joe Girardi, who is the biggest jarhead marine style guy ever (he probably gets his flat-top trimmed every week) there will be no chance of the no-facial hair rule being over-turned. I believe Willie Randolph and the Mets have the no facial hair/long hair rule also, but I believe those are the only 2 teams in the majors with such rules. The Mets/Yankees can have mustaches (who wants one of those besides Boomer) and semi-side

I broke my right thumb 3 weeks ago in the state fastpitch tournament and I am staring Fall Fastpitch this week. We had one practice already, and I sucked. I could barely throw or hit. We have practice again tonight, and I really need to do well. Is there anything that I can do to get back to playing like I did before I got injured.

is it really cheating does it make that person really better?
baseball players still need to hit the ball and if they do it is not always going to be a home run.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Before he celebrates his windfall, the New York Mets fan who emerged from a violent scrum clutching Barry Bonds' record-setting home run ball should probably call his accountant.

As soon as 21-year-old Matt Murphy snagged the valuable piece of sports history Tuesday night, his souvenir became taxable income in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service, according to experts.

"It's an expensive catch," said John Barrie, a tax lawyer with Bryan Cave LLP in New York who grew up watching the Giants play at Candlestick Park. "Once he took possession of the ball and it was his ball, it was income to him based on its value as of yesterda". This is not the whole article, sorry.

I need help please. Not that computer savy yet. I have never attached an article or video to my question so you can see it. How do I do that?

Cheating is breaking the rules since there weren't rules against steroids he couldn't have been cheating.

So instead of everyone being mad at him, shouldn't that anger be directed at Major League Baseball for not having better rules?

OK, the cat has 3,000 hits. Every other eligible player in baseball history with 3,000 hits is in, so why no love for Biggio? I mean, if this guy isn't in, who is?

Why are people crapping on Biggio?

The guy who caught Barry Bonds record breaking homerun ball might have to pay taxes on the ball he simply caught! A MLB baseball goes for about $14 dollars at Walmart. But the IRS says it will be valued at around half a million in taxable income and that skyrockets this guys tax base and he is just a college student. How can the IRS say that? This is crazy! Can you say taxation out of control...

I know this scenario will blow some of your minds and no matter how much I emphasize the hypothetical component I'll get a couple dumbasses who wont comprehend it, but bare with me. If steroids were not taken into consideration, that's to say based solely on stats and what you've witnessed on the field, is Barry Bonds the greatest hitter ever? Another way to phrase it: Is a juiced-up Barry Bonds a better hitter than a regular Aaron, Mays, or whoever?

I'd argue yes, with Ruth a close second. I'm of the school of thought that a walk is as good as a single. The four year period from 2001-04 when Bonds' OBP was over .500 was incredible. I can't even fathom his SLG% during that period. Based on his career hits, homers, and OPS, I'd Bonds on steriods is the greatest hitter ever.

Randy Johnson has 284 or something like that, But his with his back I don't know if he is going to pitch again. Mike Mussina is in the 230's probably too old and too far away. No one is close after that. Tommie could be the last.
