This should be interesting.

Where was this indictment six months ago?

[LukePhillips]

I'm shocked. Wait, no I'm not. This was a long time coming. You could label Bonds a potential cheater, but now that lying to a grand jury about it is tacked on, it could get ugly.

On a related note, can I get a tax credit on the the money I gave the government that went to people whose job was to figure out if a baseball player tarnished the baseball record books? I'm tired of the government being involved in piddly-****.

I cracked up when I read this...

Bonds has long been shadowed by allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs. The son of former big league star Bobby Bonds, Barry broke into the majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1986 as a lithe, base-stealing outfielder.

By the late 1990s, he'd bulked up to more than 240 pounds - his head, in particular, becoming noticeably bigger. His physical growth was accompanied by a remarkable power surge.

the head thing could have been due to the fact he was diddling Halle Barre...that would make my self-esteem go thru the roof

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Now, once they prove that he's a lying cheater, can they take the record away from him?

He and Pete Rose can go into business together.

They're both arrogant, lying jerks? Both sarcastically and aggressively mocked their accusers, when they were guilty all along?

[CKeelty]

Cause they both did something banned in their sport. They both disgraced their league and their sport. They both put themselves above the league, and all the people it represented, and all the fans who loved it.

They should have banned Bonds years ago. They didn't have to PROVE that Rose bet on baseball, why should they have to PROVE Bonds juiced?

Maybe its cause Bonds was putting butts in the seats, and baseball kinda sorta secretly off-the-record maybe just a little bit likes the fact that hitters are juicing.

Jeez, do you think?

Bingo.

[junior1cats]

They do both have big heads

So, if he is tried and found guilty of this charge, thereby confirming his use of performance enchancing drugs, will there be an asterik by his records or should they be completely removed from the books?

I vote removed. Although sympathetic bleeding hearts will vote asterik.

[CKeelty]

Removed. He would not have achieved the records without the drugs.
