These blog posts are really fun. I am enjoying reading how in depth you are with your games, even though I can not remember the actual game from 10 months ago…by the way…I can not wait to read what you have to say about the 1-hitter against the A’s.

If you took it back because you were forced to do so, then I understand. We are all accountable to higher powers that be. If you rescinded it because you thought it sounded bad after seeing it in print then thats another story. You have always been forthright and different from many of the other players. Assuming you actually meant what you initially said, the retraction could have been something like this. ” I am sorry for what I said but stand by it.

One truth that is self evident, is that the home run record is forever tainted. Bonds is only one of many who used steroids. It makes it tough to tell the conspiritors with out a score card. What it does not do is lessen the fact that these cheaters managed to do what all the strikes could not do. Trivialize the importance of baseball and its records.

Personally, I hope he doesn’t break Hank Aaron’s HR record. If he does, it will be nothing to celebrate.

You were right to point out why no one is much interested in Bonds’ chase of the record.

I have no respect for Bonds at all.

Way to step up and apoligize for the comments about Barry. Hope it wasn’t because of any possible slander lawsuits that might get dropped on your lap.

If you haven’t already done so maybe you should seek Barry out and apologize to him. That might carry a little more weight than making a public statement.
