This is brutal

[Runaway Jim]

Is it any more painful than seeing Babe Ruth in a Braves uniform, or Joe Montana with the Chiefs? There are too many examples of athletes holding on past their prime. coughBrettFavrecough.

Um...agree on Ruth and Favre, but didn't Joe Montana have some very good years with the Chiefs? He took them to the AFC Championship game, didn't he?

It's awe-inspiring to watch Bonds.

I'm amazed to see what modern pharmaceutical science can do.

Until there is absolute proof that Bonds cheated, I think the court of public opinion should give him a break. And wouldn't it be something if word got out that "good guy" Biggio cheated?

nice thought, boots, but "absolute proof" isn't even required to send someone to death row.

For me, my dislike of Bonds is not tainted by steroids. I dislike him naturally, because he's an ass, plain and simple. And he would be that way if he hit 755 homers or 75. He's the kid who would kill his parents and beg for leniency because of his being an orphan.

He'll hit his homer, and it's an accomplishment. I mean, you still have to hit a homer 756 times, whether you're on steroids or Dr. Pepper. But I don't have to watch or read anything about it, and I probably won't.

Baseball, players and owners, created this mess, and they won't clean it up until they absolutely have to. They're not used to cleaning up messes. They're used to having clubhouse boys do it for them.

But what about Schilling saying he admitted he took them when he never did say it?
I'm with Boots on this one.
