Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

Wait, didn't Bonds already admit to taking steroids or did I miss something? Didn't he say he didn't know what the trainer gave him and he thought it was something else?

Publicly? No. According to "supposed" leaked grand jury testimony? Yes.

Is that comment in reference to Joeboo's post? Because he's right.

Thank you.

It's also the reason why I think many "big name" guys haven't been caught. People have been clamoring for a big name guy to get nailed all year and don't realize why these guys aren't getting caught.

IMO it's not a scandal to protect certain players by MLB like many suggest. It's that a big name player is using the expensive cutting edge steroids that a urine test can not detect. The lower level player can't afford those and is probably why many more lower level guys are getting caught.

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

No no no... what I mean is that people said that he used this time as a crutch to get off of the juice. If, from how I'm reading it, joeboo is saying that he's still on it, well... I never figured that that was an option. I thought that it was supposed to be apparent that he is off the stuff for good.

Why wouldn't it be an option if HGH is undetectable with the current drug testing standards used by baseball?

That's why I said earlier that Palmiero was dumb for taking such a low level steroid. One that's been detectable for years now.

Urine testing is a few years behind blood testing and the same steroid Raffy took was detected in Ben Johnson during the Olympics in 1988 (blood test). So it's safe to assume that a urine test could detect that steroid by 1995.

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

Personally, if I were a professional athlete and my body and well being was what supported my family, I'd know every little thing that I put into it or on it. Heck, I'm that way now and I work in a corporate environment.

If someone (even a close friend or trainer) said "Take this". My first question would be "What is it and why?". After I was told, I'd still look it up on the internet to make sure it was safe. In the end, it's all about personal responsibility. There's no one to blame, but one's self.

I heard it on the radio... heard it was, yet again, a blown call. Gotta see it on Sportscenter, though.

I always thought that too. Their bodies are the money ticket. But with Bonds he got big over a 10 year period, not over a year. Each year he got bigger. I remember one year he put on about 20 pounds. He couldn't swing as fast, so he went back down to 195 to 200 lbs. And he started tearing up again. To tell you the truth I don't know if he did steroids are not. But as a die hard Giant fan I don't care. I just know if you had Bonds on your team, you would love him too lol. He is just that good.

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

Hell yeah I'd want Bonds on my team. I still can't believe back the Padres could've got him when they still had Sheff, McGriff, etc. Thanks a lot for f'ing it up whoever was the owner/GM at that time.

Yeah he is amazing, every time I go to a game I can't believe how Manager's fear this guy! And they should. Sheff, Mcgriff ANd Bonds, one word, wow!

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

That'd be one hell of team and I would've been a Padres fan sooner maybe. Don't forget Gwynn...

Re: Barry Bonds to Bat Fourth on Monday

Anyways, enough of that. If Bonds was healthy to being the year, who knows how well this Giants team would be playing? IMO his presence alone would have an impact.

On a personal note, I feel kinda proud for the Padres nowadays that they pitch to Bonds, regardless of how bad he's owned them his whole career.

Yeah losing Bonds for the whole year was big! And Scmidt not really on hurt us too.
