rams80 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Why was it okay for George Ruth to hold the single season and career home run records, but it's not okay for Barry Bonds?Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer.Bonds did it through chemistry.That's why.Nobody knows what he did it on. We weren't there.Well then, it's ok for Ruth because baseball hadn't made up the concept of slapping asterisks on records yet.Also...RichardWitham needs a valium, or a couple of beers, or to take some time to walk in a park and look at the Golden Gate.

jkrdevil Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Here's an interesting magazine article on Bonds from Muscle and Fitness June 2003 entitled "The King of Swing". Here are some excerpts.But Bonds' rejuvenation owes itself to more than sets and reps. He's now calibrating his athletic performance at the cellular level. Since winter of 2000, Bonds has worked closely with San Francisco-based nutritional consultant Victor Conte of Balco Laboratories. Conte precisely measures the nutrient levels in the outfielder's blood, and then prescribes specific supplemental regimens to correct imbalances. Like the managers of every National League team, Bonds has noticed the difference."I'm just shocked by what they've been able to do for me," he says. "Before I didn't understand how important these nutrient levels were, because I was just listening to old standard nutritionists who tell you to just eat 4,000 calories a day. Everyone's body changes over time, and every individual is different. To have your blood drawn and analyzed can tell you what your body produces more of, what it lacks. You're able to create a program that fits for you as an individual."This attention to detail is the latest advancement in sports science (see "Personalize Your Supplement Program," March 2003), and Bonds is a true believer. Given the chance, he spouts like an evangelist at a revival meeting about the importance of mineral levels and blood work."People don't understand how important this is," he explains. "I visit Balco every three to six months. They check my blood to make sure my levels are where they should be. Maybe I need to eat more broccoli than I normally do. Maybe my zinc and magnesium intakes need to increase, and I need more ZMA. Nobody ever showed it to me in a scientific way before, how important it is to balance your body I have that knowledge now.""I remember a line in a movie: If you wake up in the morning and all you want to do is sing, then you're a singer.' I wake up wanting to do my job. I want to play baseball, I want to train."Of course, adds Bonds, it helps to have a few irritants on your side. "Victor will call me to make sure I'm taking my supplements, and my trainer Greg will sit near my locker and stare at me if I don't begin working out right away. I have these guys pushing me. I'm irritated by them most of the time," he says, chuckling.http://www.snac.com/mag_king_of_swing.htmOf course Victor and Greg both pleaded guilty and served time for distributing steroids to professional athletes. Mostly in exchange to those that endorsed BALCO's legal product ZMA. As you can see Bonds was a ZMA endorser (this article was a ZMA promotional piece).

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 i really don't understand all the hate for bonds. he hasn't been proven guilty for anything that he has done. we do live in a society where we are innocent until proven guilty. now if it turns out that bonds actually did use steroids, then there is a legitimate argument. Right now, let it go. Go about your daily lives, drink a beer, look at the babes thread, maybe get laid by some women on Maple Street near 4th and Vine. but gentlemen let it go, bonds hit more home runs than Hank Aaron. now move about your daily lives.

jkrdevil Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 i really don't understand all the hate for bonds. he hasn't been proven guilty for anything that he has done.That's because he was given immunity for testifying in the Grand Jury. He will never be proven guilty in court on steroid charges because he will never face those charges. That doesn't mean we the public can't weigh the evidence when discussing this subject.

That doesn't mean we the public can't weigh the evidence when discussing this subject.Once upon a time, OJ Simpson was found not guilty of double murder. People still think he's guilty as hell in spite of that.It doesn't matter what happens in court. The right people have been dropping his name when it comes to investigating doctors prescribing illegal drugs to athletes, his reputation is going to be forever soiled and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about. Fanboys can bitch all they want, Barry is always going to be suspected of cheating and no amount of talk or defense of the man will change a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 [Fair enough, but I couldn't think of a good Occam's razor argument. I think the simplest explanation for Barry Bonds hitting a lot of home runs is that he's a really good baseball player. That works, right?There's no arguing how good the guy is. I just wish there wasn't this cloud over his achievements. The guy was supernatural before all this. If he did cheat, and I really believe he did, he never needed to. I have said it before, if Bonds had stayed clean in this era he would have gone down as the best ever. Now there will always be a cloud of doubt over his career. It's too bad.
