Ortiz makes the point that I've been trying to make. Plenty of guys have taken performance enhancing drugs in the major leagues (I wouldn't be at all surprised if at LEAST half of major league players have taken some kind of performance enhancing drug) and none of them put up numbers anywhere close to as good as Barry Bonds. Why can't these other players who've used PED put up the numbers Barry is putting up if steroids helps you become such a great hitter?

Ortiz says "He was using the best?" If you are a complete idiot and can't figure it out for yourself that's a rhetorical question. Of course Barry doesn't have access to some amazing steroids that no one else does. That's the whole point. Steroids are not going to make you that much better of a hitter. They may make you stronger and increase your power and improve your recovery time from injury. Great stuff! But they are not going to make you hit .370 and have a slugging percentage over .800, if they did then there'd be lots of other guys doing it too.

As Ortiz puts it best "I've heard a lot of different things about Barry Bonds, but people should just admit it -- this guy's a bad [expletive]."
