Man, I'm gonna hurl. You can test ( if you want to ) for steroids - but you can't for human growth ? Whats the point ? The guys who were on roids just shifted over to H.G. ... whats the difference anyway ? Bud knows when to look away. All you guys are right - no integrity.

Barry just happens to be carrying the steroid banner presently. McGwire, Sosa, Bud Selig etc... all of them are guilty of drinking from the steroid trough. We do indeed protest the steroid era... and the efforts of Bud Selig. Like a good parent... we do not accept the “everybody does it” excuse... the integrity of the game is at stake. We know the asterisk will never be applied but at least we fans will have said to the future fans ... we knew what was going on and we did not stand by and ignore it. Our asterisk is simply an acknowledgment that we the fans were not ignorant to the truth. Future baseball fans will certainly look back on this time... the steroid era... and they will wonder why no one took a stand and called foul. So this year, we stand up for the past, to show the future, that the now matters. And we will make our stand... in the stands... at the ballpark... for all to see. Our little piece of foam does not attempt to change the record book or right a wrong. That would certainly be beyond our ability and would only add to an already convoluted tangle of words and facts. This little foam asterisk simply allows the fans to demonstrate, in a peaceful simple way, that we were not blind. We were not fooled. And we did not stand by and look the other way while the integrity of the game was ground into the dirt. The Fans http://www.fanslovebaseball.com/ The Asterisk Party

T-Bone - Hammerin' Hank already said he wouldn't show up when Bonds broke the record, but I can't remember if he went back on that threat or not. Interesting scenarios of where he could break it, too...but I've got a sinking suspicion that if it's possible, the Giants will "rest" him until he's able to break the record in San Fran. That's a little too conspiracy theory for me, but it's not out of the question. Everyone should check out the site Brent posted...there's a side-by-side comparison of Jason Giambi when he was with the A's and in the minors. The photo of him in the minors looks like he's about 75 pounds! Un-real. Bonds and Sosa look ridiculous too... AS All right, we’re off to a great start!

I was looking up some more info on Bonds and his steroids use and found this. I thought the pics were pretty good evidence for steroid use. www.wisecamel.com “How much steroids did he have to use to get the record, about a half cup”

I can only imagine the warm greeting NY fans would give him. He'd be wishing for the days when the worst fans would do is throw syringes at him! Better yet would be that he doesn't get to the record until the end of August for a series in Washington. That way he could break the record, then head to Capitol Hill and talk to Congress since he missed the last session. How about during a June series in Oakland? He can take a run past the former Balco site and see if maybe the Feds left a box or two of the cream and the clear behind? More important than Bud Selig being in attendance is do you think Henry Aaron would actually show up to see his record broken by this steroid cheat? The Giants have a mid-August series in Atlanta...intriguing... If he sees enough pitches he could be at or near the record for an end of May series with the Mets.

Other records have been broken but these new guys can not over shadow the acomplishments of years gone by. It's called History. As for A-Rod shattering anything.........I think you're spending way to much time with LaRussa aren't you. Get of the sauce. Barry will hit it and it won’t matter at all.

I say he's got the best juice money can buy since MLB will NEVER be able to detect the stuff he uses. He'll break the record and hardly anyone outside of San Fran will care except the idiots in Bristol, CT. And I'll laugh at the dope who wins the auction on e-bay only to have the record last until A-Rod shatters it in 2013. And 61 is the REAL single season record.
