Barry Bonds: Why he is innocent of being guilty...

The link above provides before and after photos of the guys who got "pumped up"

Barry is innocent. Seriously... This autograph dodging, racist is innocent of all this steroid talk.
We have to believe that BALCO is full of corrupt guys, making products, that produce super athletes for the world to enjoy. We have gotten fast Olympic runners, bigger (not better) linemen for the Raiders and a best of the best from the bay area in baseball (McGwire, Giambi and Bonds). All for us to watch and worship. What for? Money. BALCO is in the business of making money. You produce big name athletes, you reap the rewards of everyone else wanting to "be them".

Did steroids help Barry? While on CNN/SI I noticed Barry hit no homers over 450 feet before 2000 and has hit 21 over 450 feet. Should the Giant's rename McCovey Cove to Barry's Juice?
I think we'd go too far.

Barry has skills. He can see the ball better than anyone in the league and has developed one of the best swings baseball has ever seen. The guy is a contact hitter... with lots of power. Take Mark McGwire on the other side. He admitted he took Andro-testosterone but probably... did not know it was a "steroid" since it was "legal" to take in Baseball...(But not in other professional sports). The dude bulked up big after 1995. See http://www.apechild.com/celeb/mcgwire.php
Yet, when he batted he swung off his ass to hit towering fly balls. Most of the time when he was out, it was a fly ball to the outfield or struck out. Look at his stats between 1989 and 1991 http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/mcgwima01.shtml Look at that 22 homer year in 154 games. Then he gets hurt, then 1996 comes and he goes 52, 58, 70 and so forth. Roids helped Mark get over the wall. Then he retires, early?? Why? No andro and he, being from the bay, he knew what BALCO was upto? Giambi idolizes McGwire, so he does the same? Barry, his stats, http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bondsba01.shtml totally different. The dude was walked 872 times the last 5 years. The guy has 600 more walks than Mantle with only 1000 more at bats. An astounding 1000 more walks than Mr. October, Reggie Jackson. Both Jackson and especially Mantle, would have taken steroids to enhance their careers if they were readily available as they are today. Mantle and Jackson are power hitters who struck out way more than Bonds. In fact, if Bonds plays 2 more years he'll easily beat Jackson's strike out total of 2597 with his walk total. You cannot compare Bonds to anyone except maybe Ruth. Would Ruth have taken the needle late in his career if he could?

Barry is a big enough dick to be ignorant. Listen to the guy talk. He is ambivolent to the world around him. He ignores the media and has heated recliner in the locker room. Seeing and hearing the guy in the news makes me believe that he has no idea except that he won't give money to white people. See http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/12/03/BALCO.TMP

"One, I'm black, and I'm keeping my money. And there's not too many rich black people in this world. There's more wealthy Asian people and Caucasian and white. And I ain't giving my money up."

So Barry gets a few more homers but he still finishes over 600 without steroids and the world would never no different. He is an asshole!!
