Here's one reason why he's a first ballot pick...........





But he does needs to re-hire me as his trainer!

Bet you he doesn't make it first ballot. The writers are going to make a statement about his steroid use. That dumb stuff he said at the Congressional hearing made him look like a fool.

You think it's easy to play 162 games a year.
You don't know too much about baseball do you??
its a hell of a lot easier to play 162 baseball games a year as opposed to 20 or so football games. the list of injuries and severity of injuries is not even close. the fact that Cal can play what was it two thousand or so games and set the record for most consecutive games played and the record in the NFL is like two hundred something by Favre supports this. also just the mere fact that the regular season is only eighteen weeks with one bye week goes to show how tough the sport is. if baseball was so physically tough they wouldnt be able to play as many games as they do.

Baseball players on steriods is a total waste. Its like shooting blanks. No better then a billiards player or a tennis player on gas. I can see hockey or football as they are contact sports plus it helps them recover from injuries....but baseball??? Come on  :( Waste of juice.

No way buddy go swing a bat all day and throw a ball. theres good reasoning for the healing. And strength wise to look at how well these guys hit on roids. Look at sammy when he layed off or the 1st basemen from NY Yanks. Giambi the guy couldnt hit worth shit for a while off the gear. yeah he got his swing back but not as dangerous as when he was on gear.. baseball is a killer sport on rotater cuffs and shoulder injuries.

I wouldn't be so sure.  I've heard a number of commentators say he's not a lock based on his testimony.

Yeah.  No question it helped him, just like it helped Bonds.  Bonds doubled his homerun production from 1 HR ever 16 at bats to 1 every 8 at bats while he was on the sauce.  Huge advantage.

I just find it amusing and absurd that any adult would come before a congressional committee and utter “I’m not here to talk about the past” in response to questioning.  What did he think he was there to talk about?  We all understand not wanting to incriminate himself in the face of obvious steroid use, but come on . . .  Any low budget PR firm or law school graduate could have crafted a better response. 

The guy is a class A moron.  Talk about dumb jocks; I know dumb bodybuilders who are smarter.

I completely agree.  Even falling on his sword would have sounded better.  Or he could have lied like Palmeiro and Sosa.   :)

I bet neither him, nor Sosa make it first ballot. Electing those guys on the first ballot would send the wrong message to fans and to players who may think about using a banned substance.

haha youre right.  I laughed out loud when I saw that.  The dude spoke english rather well when he was hitting 500 ft home runs....he goes to talk to the government....he doesn't speak english at all.

And Palmeiro lies to the Grand Jury!


What a wierd interview crowd that was on that day and their responses.

Man, when are they going to be able to really come up and with the goods and put the hammer down on that arrogant, purjory, lying, tax fraud, adultering, fag sounding Barry Bonds?

Bonds does talk like a homo. I've been waiting ages for someone to bring that up.  :D
 
I dunno about McGwire going to the hall of fame, but Bonds is first ballot. He was a 40/40 guy even before he juiced up and would have still hit 500 homeruns even if he didn't juice up. Hope he signs with an AL team, he would be able to surpass Hank Aaron easy.
