Barry Bonds Birthday 24July64

To all of the haters who do not like Barry Bonds for whatever reason, you may feel justified in your decision to prejudge someone, just keep in mind that your decision to not forgive the guy puts you on the same level as God. This is the level where you get to decide whether you will forgive him or not..and over something like this...I just don't see the reason for it. Whether he did it or not, there are worse things in life. That goes for his mistress as well. Apparently she is set out to throw him under the bus as well...I may say this to her in response to her comment on Yahoo sports:

"If I had more self-esteem when I was younger," she said, "I wouldn't have been caught up with such a rotten man."

My response: Ms. Bell, Mr. Bonds too, had a lapse of judgement as well by getting involved with you and the only reason for your response and need to thwart his efforts at this time is because he left you in 2003 and you are ticked that you are not with him now. I would hope that Liz Watson would not get concerned about this as Ms. Bell is simply trying to coattail her way and create as much discomfort for Bonds and his family as she possibly can, especially NOW with Barry being right on the cusp of the all-time homerun record. Her ploy includes a future spread in Playboy magazine where she will again, throw Barry underneath the bus..because he is an easy target. The media has dumped on him for most of his career, whether it is of his doing or not..so why would Ms. Bell act differently?


Baseball is a game. We will never know when the steroid era began nore will we ever know if it started with Mr. Canseco or he was simply the most prolific.

No matter whether Barry took the clear or cream knowingly or not, the results cannot be changed nor will the record books. We are all aware of that. There are far too many asterisks to go around.

I will be honest, i do not expect Barry to get 3 HRs tonight (he is already 0 for 1. But I would like to see one homerun tonight..there is no better way to help yourself and your team out on such a great occasion in this record breaking year.

If you want to hate Barry Bonds for what he has accomplished, remember that he was a HOFer long before the steroid scandal began. And if it makes you feel better...provided A-Rod and Pujols do not get injured...they will overtake his record in roughly a decade...so...enjoy..you will probably get your man sooner than waiting another 3 decades..

As far as I am concerned the NBA scandal involving Tim Donaghy is a MUCH bigger story as is the NFL's Michael Vick indictment...THOSE to me warrant more of a "hate' than anything Bonds has done to this point. Donaghy compromised the NBA and its validity of the last 13 years. Vick has knowingly had dogs abused and murdered on his property by people within his family..whether he was involved or not. it is his house and ignorance is NO excuse. As long as it happened in his home, he is liable and SHOULD be held as such.

Michael Vick and His Dogdays

Whoever thinks this is ONLY about race, they're wrong. Whoever thinks that this is about ONLY celebrities or athletes, they're wrong. Whoever thinks that this is anything more or less than the abuse of animals is wrong. C rime was committed and it just happens that the FEDS have convicted him. The Federal Govt. does not convict unless they have a good reason to do so and have the evidence to show that the convicted will NOT get off...a D.A like Nifong may convict without merit or morals (didn't he get disbarred for that among other things?) but Vick is gonna go down on this one and he has no recourse...no one to throw the scapegoat on...look..there are really no surprises about the kids in this Vick Family...I am NOT really all that surprised. In fact if ANYTHING..I feel for his mom and dad...I CANNOT see how parents could actually raise their children to grow up and make these decisions. They HAVE to just be suffering inside as parents. yes Michael Vick is an adult as is his brother Marcus-both of which had issues at VTech and Marcus had his fair share of fun on some guy's calf muscle...thankfully and reasonably so..he was NOT picked up in the draft and his attempt to try out was dismal...he screwed himself out of more money in one stomping than I will EVER make...I also feel for the guy that got stomped on..but HE'LL go into the NFL knowing that neither Vick will be there...If Vick gets less than 5 years...I would consider the whole thing a travesty....ANY CRIME where you take away the free agency or life of another human being or animal should be seen as a murderer. Again, I feel bad for Vick's family...they have to tolerate this crap...

I LOVED THIS...THIS WAS HYSTERICAL....TALK ABOUT A GUY WHO DOESN'T GET IT....

"I feel like it's the Nazi regime coming in here, talking away all of our rights, said Tim Main, as he cleaned up Mike's Ten-Pin Lounge in Alton. "First they make it so you have to wear seat belts, and now they want to put a stop to smoking. What's next?"


HEAVEN FORBID THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO KEEP YOU ALIVE AND HEALTHY!!!!

DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA THOUGH...IT ISN'T THAT YOU ARE ALL THAT IMPORTANT...REMEMBER THE ONLY TWO SURE THINGS ARE TAXES AND DEATH....AND THEY'RE GONNA TAX YOU AS LONG AS THEY CAN...SO THEY'LL KEEP YOU ALIVE IN ORDER TO DO SO!!!!
