Here’s a newsflash, players cheat. Players juice. I love Jose Reyes and David Wright but wouldn’t shock me if it came out tomorrow that they were on something. We live in a culture where “if you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying hard enough” ismore than just an expression. Millions of dollars are on the line here. Athletes look for any advantage they can get and a lot of them turn to PEDs.

Barry Bonds doesn’t deserve an asterisk because he hit his home runs off juiced pitchers. He was no doubt robbed of hits by juiced fielders. Heck his record tying home run came off a pitcher who had ALREADY been busted for steroid use in the past.

So it comes down to this; if you are celebrating that Bonds has been indicted because you hate him so much, why are you even following sports? He’s done about as much to hurt the game as many of the guys you are cheering, even if you don’t know it yet. Like I said, I love the Mets and support the players, but if you think Guillermo Mota and Scott Schoeneweis are the only juicers on this team, you a pretty naive.

Bet Selig wishes this happened a year earlier so he could have suspended him before he broke the record!

My problem with Bond’s most of all is his denial, and that he had the nerve to blame the press for not leaving his family alone. HE was the one who brought the issue to his family by using illegal substances.

I suppose there are a lot of records held by cheaters. How many spit ballers are in the hall of fame? I just do not think we should take this record, perhaps the biggest in baseball for granted without the hall of fame acknowledging that the record was broken through cheating.

Anyway, I am sad for baseball but happy that Bonds has to face up to his lies.

Boras must be seething now that he’s not the headline.

Maybe he can bunk up with Mike Vick

See you in the yard toughbag
