tested positive for steroids in 2003. I now expect the babbling moralists and Inspector Javerts in the federal government who have made destroying Barry Bonds their life's work to go after Rodriguez just as hard. If they don't, it will just confirm what I've always known.

Barry Bond's is a cheat and a liar and deserves whatever he gets. The same goes for any other scumbag doing the same thing.

I love it. All the town criers started hoping against hope Rodriguez would pass Bonds as soon as Barry eclipsed Aaron. As soon as they scrape the egg off their face, they'll get collective amnesia and act as if they never did so.

at this point, there's probably only a handful if guys who i don't suspect of having done it, or at least tried it on my list.

Barry Bonds is no more guilty or innocent than A-Fraud, Clemens, or Jason Grimsley.

Exactly, some people can't accept reality that Barry is an all-time great. Hopefully now that A-Rod and Clemens and Pettite, etc. have shown up positive, some people will begin to give Barry the credit he deserves. Unfortunately, probably not.

Exactly. Bonds is a target because he's not a rat or an ass kisser. I hope any active players who testify against Bonds take a 95 mph heater to the orbital bone.

Imagine that. A federal agency leaking sealed information to further its own agenda. Shocking.

. . . and in the zeal bury A-Rod for being too rich, nobody will pay much attention to the feds crapping all over a legal agreement.

People haven't paid any attention to fascist tactics of federal law enforcement for the last 30 years, why would they care now?

Forget the ethical issue of taking steroids. Legally this whole thing just sucks for the players. They got bait and switched.

Anyone who thinks this isn't exactly what Selig and Co. had in mind all along is beyond naive. After all these years of getting annihilated by the MLBPA, they finally found a way to get over on Fehr and the union.

Bonds just didn't kiss the media's ass, that's why they've been so hard on him. I'm a Dodgers fan so I really didn't care for him as a Giant but he is no more guilty than the rest of them.


I have always been a Griffey Jr. fan and never heard anything about him taking steriods. Has anything come up on him?

I've never heard anything implicating Griffey.

It's sad really. Nobody under the age of about 30-35 watches baseball. Bud Selig has succeeded over the past 15 years in choking the life out of baseball.

I love that the same members of the public and the media who excoriate baseball for steroid use are the mouthbreathers who slobber all over the NFL. Real consistency there.

I'm a partial Dodgers fan but I thought Tommy Lasorda would have been a good commissioner.

The naivete it takes to take a moralist stance with regard to professional athletes is mind boggling.
