Re: Bonds Hits Number 756
I stopped caring about baseball a long time ago... mainly because MLB not caring about its own image and reputation by allowing drugs to run rampant throught their sport.

Re: Bonds Hits Number 756
I used to have this deep hatred for Bonds like the rest of you. I mean sure, he used steroids. So did so many others though. IMO, hes one of the top 5 players to ever play the game, easily, despite that fact. I dont hate the guy.

1) Wrestling does not pretend to be a legitimate sport, its strictly entertainment. Two very different things.
2) I rarely watch the biggest offender of steroids, the WWE. I prefer the smaller promotions with unenhanced, but more athletic performers. I also love Japanese wrestling, and many of them barely resemble athletes, as they have a very low emphasis on the cosmetic aspect of American pro-wrestling. All that matters to them in in ring work rate.
3) Steroid inflated wrestlers tend to suck a wrestlers because their size limits their ability.
4) To my knowledge, The WWE has never kept an athlete out of their Hall of Fame for breaking one rule (Pete Rose), and then honor another for breaking a much worse one (Barry Bonds*). WWE wins on lack of hypocrisy alone.
Major League Baseball is a sham, a hoax, a play. And unlike professional wrestling they refuse to admit it.

Re: Bonds Hits Number 756
A guy on the radio today made a good point, I'll try summarize. And for the record, I don't agree with it, nor did he.
-Barry Bonds, barring if he still uses performance enhancing drugs now, used them when most of the other high-names did. And which, at that time, there was nothing wrong with taking steroids. There were no rules against it, so it was okay. Back in the early days players admitted to taking the reds and greens before some games (speed) to pick them up after a road trip, or something. If Bonds is using the drugs now, then yes, this record shouldn't count, because there are rules against it. But if he only did them for the period up until the rule was made, then it's technically, perfectly fine.
Frankly, I don't agree with it.
And personally, if I was any pitcher who respected baseball in any form, I would have intentionally walked Bonds every at bat, for the rest of his career, so he never gets another home run, let alone another hit.

Not to keep picking on this point because I agree with you to an extent, but do you not think that the problem could be just as prevalent in the NFL? I assume you still watch the Eagles...(I'm psyched by the way, should be a good year) I don't think steroid abuse would make me stop watching the league but when a player like Shawn Merriman (NFL sack leader despite a 4-game suspension for steroids) is rewarded with a Pro Bowl appearance, I don't think we're sending the right message to anybody and doesn't make it much better than baseball.
