Yup...I see this from lots of people who talk about Bonds "disgracing baseball" then turn around and say Mark McGwire's their favorite player of all time. WTF?
You either have to take a stand against all of them or none of them. You can't change the rules just because of a personality, skin color, team...whatever the reason may be.

Yes they are but I have to comment on the answer from Alomew who stated that Clemens is a nice guy. Well if he's so nice why did he throw a piece of the baseball bat at Mike Piazza who was on his way to first base after being walked? Nice guys don't do such things. Clemens like any other roid user is a head case! A legend in their own mind so to speak. All I can say is baseball will never be the same.

You ARE correct. Clemens is being defended it so ironic.
I am tired of that report. Bonds should not be harassed for the simple fact it was not against the rules.
The game should move on. Drugs are against the rules and if Bonds test positive now he should get the same punishment as everyone else. Clemens is no different than anyone else
Lets hold the politicians to the same code of conduct and drug tests as baseball players

i get the feeling that you are headed in a race card direction here. why don't you stop now before you look stupid. Bonds has admitted using steroids "unknowingly" in the Grand Jusry testimony for the crimial proceedings against Balco. He compounded the problem bc according to the Feds he lied in that Grand Jury testimony in which he was granted immunity. This is the same thing that they got Matha Stuart. Clemense has been accused by a trainer. Do I believe he did them. Right now yes. Is this unfair to Clemense . Probably. Is it unfair to Barry to think he did them? The answer is NO bc it is fact by his testimony.

Yes - I am disappointed at the people bashing Bonds yet going to the wall for Clemens. Clemens may be white, he may be a nice guy, he may be of better temperment but he is mentioned in the Mitchell Report as using steroids to bolster his stats and the stats appear to corroborate this. They said if you look at the dates, it appears his career was winding down or his stats were down and then suddenly he is on point and his ERA lowers substantially. Coincidence? I doubt it. I think they are both a disgrace to the game, I think both should be ineligible for the HOF and I think their "legacies" are forever tarnished, much like the Chicago Black Sox.

I don't know it could be you, but then again it could be exactly what is happening. But then again where is the proof that Clemens did what Bonds did what made him become the most hated player in the game?

I think you are right that more people like him. He has that "good ol' boy" thing going and lots of people buy it. Brett Favre has it too. I don't like Bonds but it's not because of drugs. He's so nasty to so many people. The same people that Clemens has been nicer to. Times like this are why he should have been nicer. The media can rip you up if they don't like you and they don't like Bonds. I think many will say this is a race thing, but I think it's a personable thing.

you must be as blind as you are racist
ill tell you one thing i neither know nor care what other people on here are saying about bonds/clemens, but when you see a duck you call it a duck, both bonds and clemens are ducks, and i think they both deserve to be shut out of the hall, for life

Yes you do see it, and the sad thing is they are playing right into Bonds reasoning that he is treated differently. And everyone disagreed and said he was crazy, well now we know he is treated differently, and I hate Bonds with a passion, but you people that do not like him are just giving him more ammunition for his whining how he doesnt get a fair shake.
