Bonds is back

I just heard that Bonds is medically cleared to play as of this Monday. Do you think this can make a difference for SF? How do you think he'll perform the rest of the season?
How about next season? He's only 11 HR's behind Ruth. Do you think he'll catch him this year?
And he's only 52 behind Aaron. Will he ever catch him? Does anyone care?
Regards
Gary

    The only reason I care about Bonds is because I bought a bunch of Bonds rookie cards several years ago. Now I feel like my collection is somehow dirty.

    Make that two.

    I was hoping he would just ride off into the sunset.

    I think you mean limp off in to the sunset. Or hobble. Or better yet, crawl, like the filthy dog he is.

    And the fact he did it using performance enhancing drugs like steroids and human growth hormones doesn't affect you one way or the other?

    I've suspected for a good, long time that he's dirty and known he's a grade A jackass. His admission he took steroids only further made him lose any sense of credibility.

    Bonds will play next year, too, because he's scheduled to make $18 million...no one would walk away from that. I wish he would...it would give the game to the younger superstars and get that dirty rat out of the game.

    Yes, I stand corrected. Better he crawls off like the cheater he is.

    I don't think him breaking the record will be exciting, other than to stir up most baseball fans who are going to hate to see him as the all-time HR leader. Even many players from other eras are speaking out against him. Too bad there wasn't some way his records could be banned, or at least given an asterisk.

    provide concrete proof that mantle ruth etc.. never took any performance enhancing drugs then i will care? problem is no one will ver be able to. more and more stories come out about roids being used in the 50's and 60's and as far back as the 30's... so im sorry i still will always have my doubts about drugs even back then.

    Mantle was on steriods, now? (Jack Daniels, maybe - but c'mon!) Babe Ruth on steriods? Of course no one could prove or disprove this now, but I'd bet that the steroid era really didn't hit baseball until the mid to late 80's. Right around the time guys like Bonds, Canseco, Juan Gonzalez, Giambi and McGwire came into the league.

    Yeah the Babe was injecting roids and digesting HGH on a daily basis...there's no way he could do the things he did otherwise!

    I think it's apparent looking at the league numbers year by year that the mid 90s is when steroid abuse and growth hormone dependency became the norm in MLB. The numbers are there to prove there was a dramatic increase in power numbers, things MLB didn't care about, they needed to get butts back into seats after the strike.

    Goog...now that he is back he can go on the banned for steroid use list.

    If you had a commissioner with integrity instead of a former car salesman, maybe the records would be banned, along with Big Mac (now just a cheesburger) Sosa, Palmeiro, and the rest of the bloated buttock injectors. What I would love to see is every pitcher walk Bonds on every single at bat, so that he never hits another homerun.
