View Full Version : Barry Bonds is a fucking cheater!!!!
Rounder 03-07-2006, 05:39 PM He should be banned so he can not pass Ruth or Aaron. At the very least all his records should have a big * beside them.
Someone should start a nationwide petition asking for him to retire right now or face a lifelong ban from the Hall of Fame.

I love basesball, BUT comeon, this is for Howard!
Rounder 03-07-2006, 05:42 PM Ok, then Howard or Artie should start a petition!
Timmy 03-07-2006, 05:44 PM Welcome to the now!!! How many players are/were jucied up?
Rounder 03-07-2006, 05:46 PM Anyone who gets caught should be banned, and Bonds may just now have to fess up!
Artie is big sports fan, I wonder what his take is on this?

As damming as the "information" may seem -- yes, at this point this new book is information, not evidence -- the fact is that Bonds has not been "caught" doing anything. Unless somebody can come up with unassailable eye-witness or visual proof, or Bonds tests positive for steroids, he can't be punished for anything.

Artie's sports knowledge is mediocre at best. He just comes across on the show as the "sports expert" because Howard knows so little.

No, it's for Howard's fans to talk about pretty much whatever they want to talk about. Hence the name "General Chatter", instead of "Howard Chatter."
It belongs in the sports forum though.

the way to find out for sure would be to ask artie to bet on whether bonds juiced up or not. based on artie's decision, you bet the other way, and win all the money. simple as that. :bannana2:
ralph hater 03-07-2006, 06:06 PM well...even though this is the wrong forum for this...I'll add my $.02 anyways. He's definitely on something. If you look at his size now vs when he was here in Pittsburgh, there's definitely a noticable difference. I give him credit for keeping it under wraps for as long as he did. But, the pictures don't lie....
Timmy 03-07-2006, 06:08 PM Who has done roids? Reggie Jackson turned into a big dude. Maybe he was jucied? Roids have been around since the 50's

Bonds is a great hitter who became an amazing hitter through the use of illegal substances. He's a liar and a fraud and in any other profession would be out of a job or in jail. He deserves everything he gotten and everything he is going to get. Fuck him and his selfish attitude. I hope he gets cancer and rots away. douchebag.

HAs Bonds even been arrested for anything? Let alone convicted.
Plus baseball bans a bunch of shit thats still or was legal.
If its illegal activity that bothers you, then every player who smacks their wife or gets into a bar fight should then be tossed out of the league???
Fess up, you dont like Bonds cause of his bad attitude.

There are a lof of great hitters that have used steroids. Why haven't they hit better than Bonds??? It all comes down to the fact the Bonds is the best hitter.
EVER.
I know it's a tough fact the face because the guy is an asshole... But you're in denile if you don't agree.

I get your point, but comparing spitballs to steroids is akin to comparing possesion with parking in a handicap.
It's obvious he used. I have no respect for him, McGwire, Sosa, Palmero, etc... and all the others who deny it up and down.
Basically I dont like him 'cause he's a liar.
As a season ticket holder whose seen my seats escalate in price from $8 to $95 it pisses me off because its a direct effect of the "juiced" era and inflated contracts.

My point is that people harp on "cheating". Spitballs and corked bats are cheating plain in simple. Thats been in the rulebook since forever. Roids is cheating too, but why is so much made about it than other forms of cheating???
And now roids have created more expensive seats?! Man thats a stretch.
Hugomarink 03-07-2006, 06:52 PM Your sucking of Bonds' balls is laughable, yet not surprising.

Dude, you're an ass and your attacks on me are unwarranted. Read my post again. Oh, what's the matter, you can't handle simple logic? All I said was that Bonds can't be punished until MLB can prove he did something wrong. For all I know Barry Bonds may end up getting sent down the river for all of this, but as of right now he's as much a right to play as any other player in the league.
It's amazing how you haters get so crazed in your loathing and refuse to even think rationally. Instead you just froth at the mouth and spew venom merely because you THINK you know everything.
blugrssdude 03-07-2006, 06:52 PM Barry Bonds took steroids? I also hear Howard is coming to sirius, can anyone confirm this?
meta4ikl 03-07-2006, 06:56 PM And now roids have created more expensive seats?! Man thats a stretch.
Not much...homeruns sell seats...supply and demand
JerseySternFan 03-07-2006, 06:57 PM now, if anyone is as stupid as to think steroids are not going on in every sport, you are sadly mistaken. This is a game of cat and mouse here. The people who are going to cheat, know how for this reason: They know what tests are being done.
All it takes is a good chemist to mask the drugs they look for. Really not that hard. Steroids have been going on in baseball for over 25 years. No one was saying anything back then, but now they are because of Cansaco.
As much as you might hate that guy, as much as you would like to say he is an attention hog and only looking out for himself, he did blow the lid off of baseball.
Cocaine is another drug that has been used for well over 25 years as well. Drugs will always be part of the game, and that includes steroids too. They still don't test for Growth, so that will be used for a while too.
They are used in football, baseball, even basketball (remember Karl Malone in his prime? look at malone the year after they were banned by the NBA), hockey, track and on and on and on...
All these books that will come out, have no solid proof. I can write a book without any first hand knowledge, no interviews, and no research and can give you the same amount of info.
Barry Bonds is not an idiot. Do I think he used steroids? WITHOUT A DOUBT! Remember tho, it does not matter what I think, there is still no proof of it that he "knowingly" did anything illegal.
If anything thinks he was injured all of last year, you are dumber then a hooker who is expecting to get paid with a $3 bill. He spent the majority of the year out of the baseball season so that he could keep testing himself to make sure all the tested steroids were out of his system. When they were out, he came back and was waiting to be tested. He will get tested, it will be publicly known, and he will pass it and everyone will have to shut up.
A bigger question should be, is McGwire. He was doing steroids since his second season in baseball (thank Jose), would not answer the question about him doing steroids, and lied about rededicating his organization to make children aware of steroids. He is someone who should not be in the Hall Of Fame for all the same reason people want to keep Barry out.
If Barry and Sammy Sosa do not fail a drug test, then they should be included in the Hall Of Fame, no questions asked
blugrssdude 03-07-2006, 06:57 PM Barry has no flesh in his knees, it is all bone to bone, he has mentioned he hardly has anything left to break Hank Aaron's record but he is intent on breaking the White man, Babe Ruths record. Barry has praised Hank Aaron as one of the greats, many times over, but won't acknowledge Babe Ruth. That's typical Barry Bonds theology. I hope he slips on a rain tarp and can never walk again, let alone break Babe's mark.
jim90291 03-07-2006, 07:06 PM i want to hear artie and gary talk about this.

Bonds will break Babe's record by the end of the first month of the season, and that is people try to pitch around him. He would have already had the record if he was not walked as much as he was. He was walked 750 times in the past 5 season (last year he only played 14 games and had 5HR's).
Expect him to hit about 40HR's even if pitched around, and expect him to come back and break the record and retire after. At that point, if he keeps testing negative, no one will have any choice but to vote him into the Hall Of Fame and call him one of the Top 5 players of all time (possibly the best) without question.

Thank you for rationally and logically explaining this to the idiots here (Hendry and others). The only quibble I have is your statement about why Bonds was out last year. I believe he was tested last year at least a couple of times while he was out and tested clean. I tend to think he legitimately was injured and that he has also had to adjust what he was taking to stay ahead of the steroid tests MLB is using.
meta4ikl 03-07-2006, 07:13 PM i'm gonna go look a pictures of puppies and kittens...
JerseySternFan 03-07-2006, 07:13 PM I believe he was tested last year at least a couple of times while he was out and tested clean.
they only tested players in spring training, where he was not there, and after games, which he was not at the stadium for.
Timmy 03-07-2006, 07:14 PM I like how firts it was "cheating" and then the outrage was because it was a "felony". Cracker please! People hate Bonds period. THey are just hanging their hats on the roid thing.
Fuck, anyone remember Lyle Alzado? He was juciing in the 70s. People act as if roids are a new thing.

I expect you're right. But, remember that Bonds was a first-ballot Hall of Famer even before he allegedly starting doping. So his HOF credentials should never be in question. And, using steroids was not technically cheating because at the time MLB did not have rules against it, which is why so many players were doing it. I think the best the Bonds haters will ever be able to accomplish against him (providing Bonds doesn't test positive from here on out) is to get some kind of notation on all records -- not just Bonds' records -- set during the "Pre-Steroid Ban" era.

Fuck that! Who gives a shit. I wanna see homeruns. If he took roids thats fine by me.Let the players do it if they want.I don't care. How does any of this effect me,you or anyone else. . It still takes a good eye and a great swing to hit the ball,something he's always had. If people are pissing and moaning about performance enhancing drugs they should also say something about weight lifting.

He was a "good" player before he started juicing, he cheated because he wanted people to think he was a top 10 all-timer, without the steroids he barely makes the top 50. It is a shame because there are so many players in the game that didn't cheat that were just as good or better. Take Barry Larkin for example, the best SS in the NL for over a decade, and people laugh when you compare the two. Barry Bonds is basically just a "Larry Walker" without the juice.

He was an MVP even before the juice. I'd say thats a great player. But he screwed himself and will be remebered as a cheat and liar.
JT2003 03-07-2006, 08:43 PM I wish he just said fuck it and quit. He admits he won't be able to play many games this year, and when he does he is useless in the field and slow as fuck on the bases.
He hasn't played day game following a night time game in years, and that was when he was healthy.
I would rather have the 19 million he makes a year spent on 2 or 3 very good players.
Ssikdogg 03-07-2006, 09:47 PM WTF! None of this shit should matter to you people. Really, In what way does him or any other ball player doing roids effect you. If any of you did them I'd bet my life they wouldn't make you a better ball player(if you play or did play!)

Take Barry Larkin for example, the best SS in the NL for over a decade, and people laugh when you compare the two. Barry Bonds is basically just a "Larry Walker" without the juice.
Niggapleez. He was, and is, a once in generation player. He is the first ever 400/400 player and a 40/40 with three MVPs, all before he is alleged to have used steroids.
JerseySternFan 03-08-2006, 02:15 AM Hate on Barry all you want, but he did what he felt was right. Put yourself in his shoes. You are a good player who can demand $9Mil a year....but you take some steroids, which MIGHT (probably won't in his case because he did not do as much as people are leading you to believe he did) take 2-5 years off your life, and make $18Mil a year.
If I was faced with the same situation, I would jump all over it and start sticking myself with a needle. For him, and many others, the financial gains out weight the public's view on them. Remember, people forgive, not matter the crime....and in this crime, he hurt no one.....
Don't believe the all the hype you read, because those guys who wrote the book are just looking to flip a fast buck. If these guys had this info back in 1998 when they claim he started, why did they wait 7-8 years to come out with it now? Why not back then? Why not when Jose opened the can of worms?
At the same time, the pitchers were doing steroids too, and he still over-powered them.
BeerPal 03-08-2006, 02:23 AM Who the fuck cares if Player A takes steroids and Player B does not? IT'S A FUCKING GAME! It's entertainment, you fuckwads! When I go to the ballpark, I wanna see the Giants win and I wanna see Barry hit one out. If they play well and beat the shit out of the Dodgers, I'm happy. That's all that matters. I don't give a rat's ass if he or anyone else is on the juice.
Gay Chef 03-08-2006, 04:53 AM Artie's sports knowledge is mediocre at best. He just comes across on the show as the "sports expert" because Howard knows so little.
A-fucking-men...
No wonder he looses so much money gambling....
Someone with Artie's sports knowledge picking games is like a three-fingered retard in the UFC...
Baseball sucks.

:btu: See you at the ball yard! DUCK THE FODGERS!
BeerPal 03-08-2006, 10:41 AM He should be banned so he can not pass Ruth or Aaron. At the very least all his records should have a big * beside them.
Someone should start a nationwide petition asking for him to retire right now or face a lifelong ban from the Hall of Fame.
Your vitriol is based on unproven accusations from a book that you haven't read, and in fact, hasn't even hit the bookstands yet? Pretty fucking smart. Why don't you direct some of this retarded energy at any of the hundreds of other players that use performance enhancing drugs? What do you have against Bonds that you don't have against other players?
Hugomarink 03-08-2006, 12:09 PM I would take you on in a baseball trivia contest any day of the week you dope
Whether or not you know more baseball trivia than I do has nothing to do with the debate at hand.
fuj0w111 03-08-2006, 12:50 PM How come whitey Mark McGuire was a nation hero even though he was more jucied than Bonds??? Oh wait. Bonds is a black guy, so everyone can bust on him. Everyone looks the other way when the cracker is cheating.
Bizzz, wrong try again. I doubt that McGuire will get into the hall of fame.
Hendry 03-08-2006, 01:08 PM If the book isn't true, if they lied in any way, Bonds would sue them, right? Don't hold your breath.

You're probably right. We'll see what happens. Regardless though, the book is not evidence enough for MLB to ban Bonds and or strike his numbers from the books. Especially when they were complicit in the level of steroid use in the game. Bottom line, MLB obviously knew what was going on and they turned a blind eye because it was good for the product. This is why MLB is not going after Bonds. If he tests positive from here on out he'll get his just due. Otherwise, he remains in the game.
JerseySternFan 03-08-2006, 02:43 PM even tho the book said Dusty Baker knew knew he was taking steroids, Dusty Baker openly said yesterday that he NEVER knew or saw Bonds take steroids....this book is going to lose credibility right from the start when the people they claimed game them the info, turn around and deny it
