Jimmy, I can't agree with you more. I am sick of all this crap regarding Bonds...I understand he is chasing one of the most elusive records in baseball history and that a dark cloud shadows him where ever he goes, but lets face it a lot of players did steroids. Just read Jose Conseco's book "Juiced" and it all as come true. Everyone from Sosa, Giambi, Palmerio, McGwire, Bret Boone, Brady Anderson...the list goes on. On top of it all you take Sosa, Palmerio, Boone and Anderson and they have fallen off the map. Sosa was on a downward spiral but the minute hard testing came out he simply fell off the earth. Yet a man and arguably the best hitter of the past 30 years is still here and showing all that he is more than capable. In the past 7 games he is batting over .400 with 3 homers and double-digit RBI's...on top of all that he is 2nd in OBP and 1st overall in walks. This all for a guy who takes off about every third game. If the pitchers want to challenge him he will start to hit and the Giants will begin to run away with the pathetic NL West. In my mind there are tons and tons of players who took steriods and since Barry has never tested positive I will enjoy watching him chase history with an aling knee and elbow. The bottom line is he can hit and 714 will soon be a 3rd place statistic as Bonds rises to 2nd all time. As for getting to Hank...we will just have to keep watching.
