Substitute "being on steroids" with "sipping on Giambi's juice." So if someone asks me about Barry Bonds I'd say "yeah, he was definitely sipping on Giambi's juice, it's too bad all those records are tainted."
I think Giambi will have an ok year, something like .264 avg, 28 HR's, 87 RBI's. Nothing legally will happen to him.
As for Canseco, he's going straight to hell... there's no questioning that. Just for selling his soul for some C.R.E.A.M.!! There was a good article on ESPN.com about some of the things he says to be factually untrue like playing in game 6 of the world series for the Yankees against the Mets in 2000 (the series only went 5 games).
Still, a lot of guys were on Giambi's juice and Canseco isn't that far off.
I'd love to see a spring training game. Next year I'll definitely try down in Florida. |

Yep, sadly we're gonna have to watch Bonds pass Ruth this year and later Aaron knowing that he took the juice. Unfortunately, we can't retroactively go back and strike out records like Bonds single season HR record, because then do we strike out McGwire's, then Sosa's, then ??? You'd be guessing about what is legitimate and what isn't. As the same time, what about the pitchers that are on the juice. Roger Clemens??? I don't know???
It really does taint things because baseball is the one sport where statistics/records really have a lot of meaning to people (like me). |

| It's impossible to take away records. So whether we like it or not, Bonds is the single season HR champ. And will be the career HR champ by the middle of next year... |
