What a tool!

BWWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! If I read that 5 seconds earlier, my keyboard would have had a bath.

 

AWW Darth, if only he played for the dodgers....

 

Barry Bonds is a worthless ******* who is far to conceited for his own good. I hope she cleans him out. They guy is completely guilty of using steriods just look at his demenor and how NO ONE associates with him on his team.

Out of all of these allegations, I still cannot believe that no one in the media even brings up the Gary Sheffield article that was printed in Sports Illustrated last year. That to me is proof enough that he not only uses but is the most self-diluted individual to walk to the earth. Go **** yourself Barry Bonds! I hope he doesnt try and present himself as a man of God like just as self-diluted Neon Dieon. Yep I hate him too.

Rant over, but I will never ever have respect for people like them.

 

although i do not condone the use of steriods, all of his homeruns did not come from the use of Steriods. many people now are overlooking that he would practice for HOURS upon HOURS perfecting his swing. For example, i was travelling with my dad who was at the time the GM of the Mets. We went to SF and arrived at the park early, the only people there were the giants hitting coach and Barry Bonds. His team was not due to arrive at the stadium for another 3 hours. But he was there, perfecting his swing and crushing the ball out of the park. When i would watch him hit and swing, i would get very excited inside because i knew i was watching a great athelete. When he said that he had taken steriods, I immediately jumped to his defense and tried telling people that his swing was perfect and that steriods will not hit you homeruns, a good swing will.

 

As good as swing you got, you need to have power behind that swing.

 

Are you really that ingorant. Obviously you have never played baseball in your life. Yes, you need a good swing, but you have to have power as well. Why the hell do you think they're all taking steroids? Use common sense here people.

 

As I've said before, the home run king is still Roger Maris.

 

Your dad was GM of the Mets? For some reason, I doubt this.

 

The next thing some of you people will be saying is that you believe everything in Canseco's book, too.

The only post here that is on target is coolestkid's. Steroids have very little effect (if any) on eye-hand coordination and the other keys to successful hitting.

And let's not forget that Bonds has been one of basball's great hitters long before any steroid suspicion arose. IF we are to believe (a very non-credible) witness, he allegedly started in 1999. But at that point, he had well over 400 homers, and had hit over 40 three seasons, including his third highest season way back in 1993.

And as far as his being a worthless, conceited (or whatever) ******, that pretty much describes the majority of the Baseball Hall of Fame. You wouldn't exactly give citizenship awards to Cobb, Hornsby, Speaker, DiMaggio, Carlton, or Bob Gibson, to name just a few.

 

While it is true that roids have no effect on hand eye coordination it does make a major difference in the power of a swing. Serious steroid use can take a 300 foot flyball out and turn it into a 350-400 home run. Obviously anyone playing MLB, has amazing talent and amazing hand eye coordination, that being said the advantage one gains by using steriods gives them a leg up on everyone else. I'm not saying everything (or anything for that matter) Canseco said is true and I'm deffinately not targetting Barry Bonds or anyone else Canseco accused but the fact remains that steroids do give players an advantage, a much bigger one than corking a bat which Sosa went down hard for last season.

All that said Canseco is clearly off his rocker, he's desperate for money and popularity and is exploiting the current state of affairs to earn a quick buck.

 

Oh, I guess thats why Ted Williams was such a terrible batter. He was after all as thin as a rail.

whats this girls name?

lets google her and get some pics up..research this girl people..i want biography..vitals..any kids..pets..gogo!

 

Obviously you have no idea who i am. And i would appreciate it if you think about what you say before you say it. Baseball is my life. Ive been around it since i was born, my brother played in the minors this summer, my dad left the ceminary to play for the detroit tigers, i play every chance i can get and will play Varsity Baseball this Spring.

thank you

thats a very well thought out post, i agree, steroids do give players that use them an advantage, and thats wrong. Bonds used steriods, im not doubting that. But im not saying we revoke his record because of that. His steroids did not decide swing his bat at that low and inside pitch, his mind and his hands did.

 

I'm with you. With all the enhancement these guys are taking, its hard to not discount their achivements. Rodger ate eggs with spinach in them to help him. The roids do work and that's the deal.
As far as an angry woman goes , it could be true or not . I'll bet she got his butt though and know enough to be dangerous.

 

PM.

Baseball, girls, and cars are your life, I believe... Probably not in that order.

Don't let the doubters out there get to you. Remember, there are a lot of posers and trolls on here.

If one little weasel can tweak you up this bad, think of the hard time we'll give you next time we see you.

Those that know you, know you speak the truth.

Who's your dad working and scouting (that's right isn't it?) for now???

hmmmmmmm..............

What town do you live in again??????

Dave M.

 

Ditto.

And if MLB doesn't like that attitude they are going to have to at least make it look like they care about the situation.

 

You're right I dont know you. Rereading what I wrote to you, I was out of line. Very out of line. I appoligize. It wasn't my intention to degrade you or offend you. I tend to get worked up over idiots like Bonds and it bothers me that there are people like him in this world who don't play as a team and only are out for themselves.

Again I appolize for insulting you. It wasn't intentional.

 

Williams never hit over 40 or more homeruns in a year (and 15 of those years were over 100 games atleast), and averaged about 14.8 hits per homerun in his career (521 hrs, 7706 at-bats). Bonds hits a homerun per

Since 1999 (since someone said that is his "steriod period", Bonds has had 2477 at-bats and hitting 292 homeruns, for an average of 8.5 homeruns a hit. Last five seasons all had atleast 45 homeruns.

In today's game, you have bigger fields (longer distances) and much smarter and better pitchers then in the days of Ted Willaims.

 

I can understand (although I don't agree with) people discounting the numbers of Bonds (and McGwire, etc.) for using steroids. But I don't understand calling Roger Maris the home run "king".

Since I'm a Yankee fan, and was a 20 year old NYY fan in 1961, I certainly like seeing Roger get his props. But if you want to be realistic (and ignore the current players), the only "king" has got to be Ruth. The Babe not only had a season of 60, but also one of 59 and two of 54. By contrast, Maris' highest total behind 61 was 39 the year before, and he only hit more than 30 one other time.

And in fact, when Ruth hit 60 in 1927, his figure was more than the total for any other TEAM in the American League. (Just for reference, for Beltre ... last year's HR champ ... to match that feat, he would have to hit 236!!)

You can recognize Maris as the single season record holder, if you wish. But there was only one "home run king".

 

If you believe that today's parks are larger than those in the past, I suggest you check a few of them out.

Here are the dimensions of the park I'm most familiar with, Yankee Stadium. The first number on each line is the distance during Williams' career, the second is the distance today"

Left field line ... 301' ...318'
Short left center ... 402' ... 379'
Deep left center ... 457' ... 399'
Center field ... 461' ... 408'
Deep right center ... 407' ...385'
Short right center ... 367' ... 353'
Right field line ... 296' ... 310'

You can see that the only longer distances today are directly down the foul lines, by a few feet. And many of the other old dimensions are dramatically longer.

I will admit that Fenway, where Ted W played half his games, is not any shorter today than it was during his career. But it's not any longer, either.

 

Tino Martinez will still clear the fence by 1 foot in Yankee stadium, man does he really piss me off.

 

Thanks, I agree with you 100%, his records are still very impressive but that doesn't change the fact that he has an advantage over past players. I think as much as everyone hates to think about it we are in the asterisk era, all current records are subject to scrutiny and there is no way any player will get 100% of fans to believe them.

Good post, it takes a man to face up and admit when they were wrong. I too find the whole steroid thing a little frustrating, hopefully baseball will work it out with the new drug testing policy. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
