I wasn't a surprise to me, actually it was about time! I suspected it all along.

So how is this different than McGuire lying during that hearing they all had due to the Canseco Book and allegations? Gimme a break.. they are coming down on Barry because of the Home Run Record and this is what is making this one so much more a big deal- I hope he gets off.. like everyone else has..
YET parents who purposely create a fake boyfriend and harrass a young girl Knowingly and she hangs herself because of it may not be charged with a felony?
Seems like out justice system is a bit unbalanced with priorities here..
JMHO

I am not surprised about this at all. Both Speedy and myself had written posts about his use of steroids and his character. You can click on our names to find the posts.

In the news this morning the lawyer representing Bonds feels that his client is being “over prosecuted” because of his popularity. Wow playing the race card already. The biggest difference between Bond’s and McGuire is that McGuire pleaded the fifth that means he didn’t say anything to prove guilt or innocence. It is when the general public hears someone pleaded the fifth the defendant is considered to be hiding something. In actuality this forces the prosecution to have to come up with the evidence to prove guilt. Right now the charges against Barry Bonds is not about whether he used steroids or not but did he commit perjury to a grand jury. Bonds denies that he “knowingly” took steroids (haven’t we heard that before?). I doubt a prosecutor would go “after” him if there weren’t significance evidence stating otherwise. I am sure we have not heard the end of this and I think other players will be brought into this “knowingly” use steroid case. Didn’t something similar like this happen with a group of ballplayers and bookies in Chicago.

Bonds is already in the Hall of Fame in the record books. But I hope that Bonds does not get into the Hall itself. If he does I hope I am dead and gone.

“Bonds and his lawyers long have accused the government of targeting a high-profile, unpopular player merely for political gain while pondering if the investigation was racially motivated.”

If you take a look at the players who have made it into the Hall look at their actions both on and off the field. How many HOF members have disgraced the game? How many have contributed to the community? Continued to be ambassaders of the game even though they are no longer playng. Being in the HOF is much more than numbers on the field. The HOF is also about the players off the field.

Maybe they should re-name it the Hall of Saints. Now who shall sit in judgement of our major leaguers?
I agree that many players have been great humanitarians etc and generally nice people..but I think they should be elected to the HOF based on what they did on the field.

Corrina: You should be indicted!

For looking so good!

How is your new life?
