I think what we can all learn from this bad situation is that baseball gms should try to draft more sleepy diabetic pregnant men.

Holy shit Sears you just gave me a serious flashback with that program picture...
Spent many summer days at old Three Rivers watching Bonilla, Bonds, Drabek, and especially Andy Van Slyke. AVS used to have a pool of tobacco spit in CF by the end of the games.

ESPN has an interesting gallery of Bonds pics from over the years and I thought the difference between these two pics was the greatest.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/gallery/19379070.html
Before 1998, the most home runs he had in a single season was 46 (1993). After 1998, the fewest home runs he had in a single season was 45 (2003 & 2004)
1998
.262, 34 HRs, 83 RBI
1999
.306, 49 HRs, 106 RBI

Honey, Frank the Tank is not coming back
Yea and Bonds claims he first used them "unknowingly" in 2003..
He thought that it was just head enlargement ointment he had no idea they were steroids..
Actually, Bonds really said that he thought it was flaxseed oil and rubbing balm, but he had no idea they were steroids

Anybody else bothered by the fact that the Grand Jury testimony (which is supposed to be sealed) was released on Giambi one day, then on Bonds the next, right before the Victor Conte interview on ABC in prime time?
ESPN beats the hell out of the story for two days, while showing snippets of the Conte interview that was soon to be shown on their sister station (ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney for the uninformed).
And now next week's issue of ESPN the Ragazine will have coverage of the steroid controversy. Seems like a coordinated marketing effort.
So as a conspiracy theorist, did someone at Disney/ABC/ESPN coordinate the timing of the leaks of the Grand Jury testimony? As I understand it, the leaking of that testimony is illegal.
I'm having a fantasy of someone at ESPN/ABC being arrested and tried for the illegal release of the testimony. I said fantasy because that will never happen. Hell, the Feds may have been the source of the leak, so they won't try to hard to find out where it came from.

Do you realize what this does to the fabric of baseball? There are "magical" numbers that are almost folklore in the fabric of the game:
755. 714. 61. 56 Straight games. 2,130 Straight games. .406 in '41. 511 Wins. etc., etc.
How are baseball fans going to look at Bonds' Home Run total when its all said and done? The most hallowed record in the sport is going to be a farce, and EVERYBODY's going to look at it that way.
And let me tell you something else: if Bonds hits 800 Home Runs, that record will stand as an albatross for a very, very, very long time. Maybe forever.
