#7 He hit 714. Sterioids or no, asshole or not, its still a lot, and he still hit them.

Other than that, who cares? Its men playing a kids game and making obscene amount of cash for it.

#9 Let me know when he wins 100 games and leads a league in ERA like the Babe did.

#10 Other than that, who cares?

I do - because he has influenced a lot of kids to emulate him. And those obscene salaries reinforce it.

#12 DMFD - if you had keep going with that asterix.... until it was the size of Phobos Barras head it would have been a hoot. Still 9.85 for amazing growing asterix on steriod graphic.

#13 So this is baseball... it's some kind of sport, isn't it?

It's THE sport, the sport of American democracy. Not to be trifled with, which is what pisses me off about Bonds and steroids.

Football, you can have. Baseball has subtlety, grace, athleticism and sleepy summer afternoons interrupted by occasional flashes of power and skill.

#16 Most of you are too young to realize that TV killed our society years ago. The internet is helping to reestablish some form of togetherness.
I know more about how or what you think and feel than I do about the old couple next door. And, I never met the people on the other side of me. Life was different years ago. We spoke to each other.

#17 It'd be more impressive if he'd had the Babe's drug regime -- beer and hookers.
