Yeah, it's SF Giants Idol.  I guess he's doing it part as a "hazing" ritual for the rooks/new guys, part to try and make himself look like he actually *HAS* a personality (outside of always coming across as an a******).  I guess this is all part of his re-imaging campaign.  Way too little, WAAAAAY too late (IMO).

Sorry, didn't mean any offense by it (well, to anyone but him).  It's just that he's the type of athlete I can't stand: everytime I've seen him interviewed, or making an appearance, he acts as though the fans owe him.  In reality, it's the other way around.  A lot of athletes get that.

Plus, I remember one time when they were playing against the Brewers in Milwaukee.  I was there with a few friends, one of whom had his 6-year-old son with him, who was a huge Bonds fan.  We waited for a couple of hours after the game by the visiting team exit (my buddy's son wanted to try to get an auto).  There were maybe 20-30 kids gathered around there.  When Bonds finally came out, he made one little comment to everyone there: "Get the f*** away from me."  Talk about classless.

Who cares the guy is on steriods like its not obvious you talk to him about steriods he goes crazy. Though it was funny he was dressed up like her stuffed boobs LOL.

[SI]

Wow!  After reading this, that's all I can say.  Lol anyone else predict Bonds bowing out before the season open?

Here's a little excerpt:

Bonds is finished. He might play again, but there is only a chalk outline left around his integrity and home run totals. And the only way he gets into Cooperstown is if he spends the $14.50 for a Hall of Fame admission ticket.

Winstrol. Deca-Durabolin. Insulin. Testosterone decanoate. Human growth hormones. Norbolethone. Trenbolone. Clomid. These are the substances and steroids Bonds is alleged to have injected or ingested. They are the medicine cabinet of a cheater.

I loved the fact that he was injured most of last year and could not eclipse either of the remaining 2 all time homerun leaders. I would love it if he never played another game of baseball for the rest of his life and keep his fraud statistics exactly where they are now. I think it was most obvious that he took, at the very least, steroids.. his physical changes are indicative of that.. but what is really absurd, is this other stuff quoted from the article: "Clomid is prescribed to women for infertility. Trenbolone enhances the muscle tone of cattle. Deca-Durabolin is a medication used in the treatment of kidney failure-related amnesia." This just proves (assuming it's the truth, and I have no doubt it is) that this guy would just put any kind of chemical or drug into his body to make himself a better homerun hitter, period. Not just a better ballplayer, he wanted to absolutely knock the stuffing out of the baseballs and didn't care what was going into his body. The fact that these things haven't done some kind of major damage to his body by this time, or even killed him, he should be thanking his lucky stars. It's a total disgrace and just puts a black mark on Major League Baseball and it's history. I hope that there is solid proof of this somewhere and that it comes to light, and would then hope that MLB bans him from the game and everything to do with it for life.. a la Pete Rose (who did things far less worse than Bonds and other steroid users).

[SI]

Amen to that.  It could also explain why his character changed since he started becoming a "slugger" - 'roid rage.  I always thought that was a steamin' pile of bull myself, but it's becoming a medically accepted "disease."

I have just one thing to say about Bonds.....

Barry Bonds Took Steroids, Reports Everyone Who Has Ever Watched Baseball

March 8, 2006 | Onion Sports

SAN FRANCISCO—With the publication of a book detailing steroid use by San Francisco Giants superstar Barry Bonds, two San Francisco Chronicle reporters have corroborated the claims of Bonds' steroid abuse made by every single person who has watched or even loosely followed the game of baseball over the past five years.

In Game Of Shadows, an excerpt of which appeared in Sports Illustrated Wednesday, authors Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams claim that more than a dozen people close to Bonds had either been directly informed that Bonds was using banned substances or had in fact seen him taking the drugs with their own eyes. In addition to those witnesses, nearly 250 million other individuals nationwide had instantly realized that Bonds was using banned substances after observing his transformation from lanky speedster to hulking behemoth with their own eyes.

According to hundreds of thousands of reports coming out of every city in the U.S., Bonds' steroid use has been widely reported and well-documented for years, with sports columnists, bloggers, people attending baseball games, memorabilia collectors, major ballpark popcorn and peanut vendors, groundskeepers, roommates, significant others, fathers-in-law, next-door neighbors, fellow fitness club members, bartenders, mailmen, coworkers, teachers, doormen, parking-lot attendants, fellow elevator passengers, Home Depot clerks, servicemen and women serving in Iraq, former baseball players, Congressmen, second-tier stand-up comics, Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly, and random passersby all having stated at some point in the last five years that Bonds was obviously taking some sort of performance-enhancing drugs.

Many of those eyewitnesses came forward following Wednesday's revelation with their own accounts of Bonds' seven-year history of steroid use.

"I originally heard that Barry Bonds was on steroids during a Giants game in 2001, when my buddy Phil, who was on the couch next to me, said, 'Dude, that Barry Bonds guy is definitely on steroids,'" said Chicago resident Mitch Oliveras. "After 10 seconds of careful observation, and performing a brief comparison of Bonds' present neck width with that on Phil's old 1986 Bonds rookie card, I was convinced."

"I can see how some people might be shocked about Bonds' doping, but this has been an open secret for years among the people in my industry," said air-conditioner repairman Mike Damus. "I'm sure it's an even more widely known fact in baseball."

"Everyone in our front office has known about Bonds since the 2001 season," said San Francisco-area accounts-receivable secretary Mindy Harris of McCullers and Associates, Ltd. "People in our ninth-floor office, too, and all seven branch offices. None of us were sure exactly which kind of steroids he was on, but we were pretty sure it was the kind that causes you to gain 30 pounds of muscle in one offseason, get injured more easily, become slow-footed, shave your head to conceal your thinning hair, lash out at the media and fans, engage in violent and abrupt mood swings, grow taut tree-trunk-like neck muscles, expand your hatband by six inches, and hit 73 home runs in a single season."

"Come to think of it, we're all fairly certain he's on all of them," Harris added.

"My 6-year-old son and I bonded over our mutual agreement that Bonds was obviously juicing up," San Francisco-area construction worker Tom Frankel said. "I hope that, one day, little Davey will have kids of his own, and that they will be able to easily glean the knowledge that Bonds was a cheater just by looking at the remarkable shift in his year-by-year statistics on his Hall of Fame plaque."

In light of the most recent accusations, which echo what any idiot with a pair of eyes and even the most fundamental knowledge of how the human body works has made in recent years, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig issued a statement Wednesday to address the issue.

"It is unfair to judge Mr. Bonds based solely on the fact that everyone says he has taken some sort of performance-enhancing drug for the past five years," Selig said. "I myself think Bonds has been taking steroids—I'm not blind, after all—but nothing, even an admission by Bonds himself, can conclusively prove that he took steroids, as he has not tested positively in an MLB-sanctioned drug test. Unless that is somehow made to happen, we must all accept his recent unfathomable accomplishments as one of the truly exciting and continuing storylines of this great sport."

When reached for comment, Bonds insisted that he "[doesn't] have time to deal with all these charges."

"I'm not going to respond to these 228 million allegations," Bonds said. "I don't care what every last person in the entire world thinks. As long as my fans believe me, that's the most important thing."

wonder who took more...him or mcguire  :-X

[Bree]

It's a toss up Hades.... :-X

The publisher is someone who tryed to scamm Barry Bonds. They tryed to get money from him but it didn't work that whole book is all false infromation.  If you guys were smart look at him with the Pirates and a few years back he was not big like he is now.  Hes had so many injuries its hard to belive you can still play.  And if the media would get off his back and acutally look at the history of growth in his body it would say so many answers. 

[Homer]

There is no doubt he took steroids in my opinion. The body does not grow that quickly at his age.
