Bonds again

[dirtbag]

In one of the earlier threads, I wondered why we haven't had a single former teammate calling out Bonds. Now we have...

"And the zits," says Jay Canizaro, who played 55 games as a Giants infielder in 1996 and '99. "Hell, he took off his shirt the first day and his back just looked like a mountain of acne. Anybody who had any kind of intelligence or street smarts about them knew Barry was using some serious stuff."

That "conversation" with Griffey sounds pretty bogus to me, though.

Thanks for the link. :)

And anyone who thinks Bonds DIDN'T take steriods lives under a very LARGE rock. :p :D

Or is a huge SF Giants fan. Their usenet newsgroup is pretty comical. Joe Bob sez check it out.

I just question that "conversation" because it happened in 1998 and there are quotes around it like those were Barry's exact words, as if whoever the source is transcribed his words down verbatim for future reference.

Also, though I can believe him telling Griffey that, I can't imagine anyone making an announcement like that in a that setting. And again, the source for this conversation is unnamed. (Props to Canizaro for speaking on record.)

I just finished reading the excerpts from the Bonds book in Sports Illustrated. Makes one shake their head---not just about Bonds, but the entire baseball hierarchy--Giants, MLB--they had to know what was going on--just turned their heads while the cash registers went k-ching all through the homer binge of the late 90's. Remindful of the line in Casablanca when the police chief, played by Claude Raines, accepts his bribes while announcing that "he's shocked" there is gambling going on in Rick's ....:rolleyes:

This guy really gives it to Bonds, but its all true

None of this matters anymore. He can't undo the lies, the injections, the arrogance, everything that follows him today and tomorrow and beyond. The home runs he hits will be ignored, the records he sets empty. To the baseball world, Bonds is dead. And, much like Bruce Willis' character in The Sixth Sense, he's the only one who doesn't realize it.

This guy sounds like a poor schlep who just got dumped by his girlfriend and he's trying to convince himself he's better off without her.

Saying that Bonds will be "ignored" and that he's "dead" is completely absurd. Bonds is the biggest story in baseball right now. There are three different columns about him on the front page of ESPN.com right now. It will be an even bigger story when he gets to HR #713. I'll bet this guy writes several more columns about Barry between now and when Bonds passes Ruth.
