Not bad, subby,

Approximate size of Barry's head

That's okay. No matter how poorly they hit, they're better off with him not around that much. No need for any consultant's sofas.

Sources say Bonds dreams of eventually expanding his head role.

How about, NO?

He had a prickly, surly nature as a player. He didn't pose in official team photos, Its too late to become part of the Giants family.

Let me respond this way:

On Saturday, I was at the Brewers-D'backs game and was sitting in the left field bleachers. I was one of the many giving it to Ryan Braun (considering he tested positive after Game 1 of last year's Division Series against AZ, we feel particularly inclined to give him the business). At one point, I started calling him "Barry Bonds." Others picked up on that and joined in.

When you are still the poster child for being a lying SOB about your obvious use of steroids, you don't have any place in the sport.

Next up, Donovan McNabb to sign with Eagles to be QB coach and Jose Canseco signed by MLB to oversee drug testing.

I wish, compassionately, that Ba(massive)rry Bo(ego)nds would diaf.

Ryan Bonds or Barry Braun would have been a nice mix of the two.

Yeah, but we're simpletons around here. Can't make everyone think too hard, especially when drunk.

some of you people are still drinking the kool-aid ESPN served when they tried to push the narrative that Bonds is the only roids user in the league, then when Palmerio, Sosa, McGuire, Clemens, A-Roid, Jason Giambi, etc etc etc got caught all the sudden they got off Bonds's roid shrunken nuts.
You all probably bought A-Roid's "oh but I don't do them anymore, I just hit the exact same number of HRs every year because I never needed them in the first place also did you know gullible was removed from the dictionary recently?" excuse because you're all idiots and ESPN told you to.
Bonds was the best of the era, and everybody was on roids. You'll get over it.
Also baseball sucks.

I'm not trolling. I've defended Bonds since day 1, when a Bonds thread used to be 500+ comments. Now there's just a few of you left. You are all basically the equivalent of the birthers.

OK, then. Yes, they all cheated. And all of baseball turned a blind eye to it. From Bud Selig on down, everyone was ignorant of it (and probably on purpose in most cases).

The difference between Barry Bonds and all those others you mentioned, except Clemens? The others have fessed up to their cheating. Bonds still hasn't admitted to it and he was the most obvious of the bunch simply for his abnormal growth. McGuire, for everything he did, was always a big guy. Giambi the same.

Moreover, Bonds didn't need to cheat to have a place in baseball immortality. But his ego got in the way. If he never gives anyone a reason to believe he cheated, he's a 1st ballot Hall of Famer without question. He may never have hit 70+ HRs in a season and 750+ in his career. But hell, he could've still played today and been close to Aaron's mark. A-Rod is the same today.

Until Bonds admits that he used steroids, he will be mocked, ridiculed and scorned.

Mark McGwire admitted it, fat lot of good that did him

It's really not a surprise that since Barry Bonds didn't want to play the sportswriters' game they did everything possible to make people hate him. Combine that with people totally misunderstanding the effect of steroids on baseball players (hint: they are not magic "now you're 25% more awesome drugs) and you have a villain.

Rght, because all of us are such imbeciles that we think Bonds was the only user and we all think what ESPN tells us. You are so right and so much smarter than us. Yes you are. I admire your insights and thank you for opening my eyes.

Lowering you to 1/10 for doubling down on what was a piss-poor trolling attempt to begin with.

lowering you to ignored. Trolling does not = "wah he doesn't agree with me and I have no rebuttal whatsoever" when you figure that out maybe u can come back and play, but probably not.

Bonds admitting he used steroids accomplishes as much as Pete Rose admitting he bet on baseball. A-Roid got away with apologizing, and continuing to cheat, because he was in his prime, popular, and a Yankee. Bonds is an old fat guy nobody gives a shiat about.

I never hear anyone talking about him unless they're noting that he's still the hitting coach for the Cardinals. Seriously, I don't hear it anymore.

Rose made his own bed by continuing to deny things well after the evidence came out.

I guess the moral of the story is this: if it can be proven that you did something, just be a man about it and come out and admit it. Otherwise, you become a Braun or Clemens or Bonds or (insert a politician or celebrity name here) and screw up your career or life forever.

ElwoodCuse: Mark McGwire admitted it, fat lot of good that did him

Seeing as he's got a paying job in Major League Baseball, I'd say it did him more than zero good.

Dude I barely browse fark these days and it's only taken me two days to know your ID as a troll. Some are decent efforts but as a whole they reek of desperately wanting attention. Need to scale them back, add more aloofness..

Not only is Bonds a cheater (like most of his contemporaries) but he's a dick as well. Hell, he's one of the reason's I've never liked the Giants. Baseball is a lot better off with less juicers even if there is less scoring and hits.
