Finally It's Over
Barry Bonds finally got to 756 homeruns....and lucky for him, he hit it in San Francisco. I'm torn on this. To reach this milestone is a great feat but the possibility that it was reached with the help of steroids just taints it way too much for me to applaud Barry for acheiving it. I've heard the argument, "Steroids doesn't help you hit a baseball." Yep you're right it doesn't, it helps the baseball you do hit go further though. So if Barry has been using steroids, how many homeruns of his may have fallen short if he wouldn't have been using it? That question alone, without the answer of whether Barry has used or not, makes it hard to accept this 'new record' as legit. But hey, for now, I guess it is so we will have to wait and see if A-Rod or Pujols, or maybe someone else, can break the new record.
But at least it's over. Hopefully now, I can listen to something else besides talk about Barry Bonds when I listen to sports station regarding baseball.

Hey .. I know I had you in my neighborhood.. I have no idea what happened. I added you back into my neighborhood.. welcome to the Warped Reality :D
I have to say I feel the same way about McGwire and the Maris record. If I'm one of the Maris kids, I'm thinking "my dad's record fell to some guy who hit roid-runs". No proof there, and I do a lot of justifying...well, he's not as big now because he's not pumping right before game...but that voice in the back of my mind says it's not a pure record.
I wonder what they really think of their records.
