Barry Bonds hits 755 to tie Aaron

Well, it is timely that Barry Bonds hits 755 less than 12 hours before the close of my latest poll on Steroids/HGH/Drug use in baseball prior to the rules changes...

a whopping 47% of respondents (in what is FAR from a statistically significant sample) feel that over 50% of players were "Cheating" in some form or fashion. No one said it was less than 10% or over 75%...

That being said, this is what I have to say about Barry Bonds...even if he cheated, he wasn't alone. If greater than 50% of players were doing something to enhance their game, then he was facing "Juiced" pitchers. If that's the case, did he have that great of an advantage? I'm not so sure...he was still that much better!

Does this make me think that Barry isn't a dope? Not a chance. Does this make me feel any better? Not really. I feel more betrayed by Baseball and Bud Selig than I do by Barry Bonds in particular. Baseball needed congressional hearings to move on what everyone knew was wrong...Horrible...Bud Selig is the worst commissioner in any major sport and has been for way too long!!! Horrible Horrible Horrible.

An interesting side note, Bonds hit his 755th off of Clay Hensley who was suspending in 2005 for violating the leauges Minor league steroids policy.

What makes people act the way they do?

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?

NEW POLL: What percentage of baseball players were taking steriods, HGH or other enhancing drugs (like amphetamines) before the rules changes instituted by MLB?

Which would you prefer?

You're at the Final table of the WSOP. You get dealt 2 Aces. What do you do?
