BONDS records

The difference between Koufax and Drysdale is that with Koufax you sorta suspected that at times he threw at your head. With Drysdale, he'd tell you to your face anywhere, anytime that he's thrown at you head before, and will throw at it again. Bonds, Giambi, Armstong, Geracie, Clemens are not quite as bold as Drysdale as a pitcher, but they are laughing at every little kid as they lie about the steroids and HGH they take. It crosses the line when you use drugs to alter the human anatomy.

nascar lovers are another crowd that love to hate Bonds but willingly accept cheating as a normal part of their sport.

Yea, but when someone cheats in NASCAR by underweighing their car their heart isn't likely to explode or die prematurely.

Just sayin...

Name ONE high profile athlete that you are sure DID NOT do drugs.[/quote]

Ruth. I don't believe those drugs were around at that time. Unless that's what killed them? Kofax was offered steroids to prolong his career, he declined.

Who the hell is Geracie, and why do you keep lumping Clemens and Armstrong in with Bonds and Giambi. There is proof of Bonds and Giambi. There is none for Armstrong and Clemens isn't even highly suspected.

I really don't care whether the athletes are roided up or not. I just watch for entertainment and seeing a 112 mph fastball get turned around for a 640 feet bomb would be pretty damn entertaining!!!

The problem with roided up pitchers is that you can't throw a fastball by most major league hitters regardless of how fast it is.

i was watching Tom Glavine's game last night and they showed a clip from his first game when he pegged barry bonds, and bonds was about half as big as he is today, literally half as big

all in all i am not a barry bonds fan, i think it sucks that he is going to break the record

Don't worry...

... he's just holding it for A-Rod.

Besides, the current record is 868; look it up!

Clemens is dirty. He was named in the Grimsley case.

Look back at his career, 4 lousy years at Boston after a brilliant beginning to his career, goes to Toronto where he meets up with Jose Canseco and he is reborn, doesn't happen like that in real life. Look at his size compared to earlier in his career?

And, Canseco is coming out with a new book this fall, has indicated that A-rod is included in this one.

Aphmetamines have been around forever. So has stricnyne and absynthe (sp?). Both used in the early part of the 20th century to battle fatigue. Anyone can hit a good ball in the first game of the season, but what about 100th? 162nd. Wasn't AROD on pace to hit 90 home runs in April?

Amazing how little amphetamines are publicly talked about despite their widespread use among athletes and Americans for the last several decades.

Even now, during exam times at colleges you'll have kids selling adderall, ritalin, anything that will keep them awake and focused.

They've been popular and over-prescribed for decades prior to this. At one point during the 60's, there were so many amphetamine pills being produced, that if they were given to every American man, woman, or child, they would have gotten 50 a piece.
