Since the scapegoating of Barry Bonds first began it has become increasingly obvious that steroids during the 1990s & early 2000s wasn't some rare thing in MLB that only a few home run sluggers like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were using but instead so prevalent that the question is more "Who was *NOT* taking steroids?" rather than who was.
Because of the obvious prevalence of steroid use among almost all major league baseball players the witch hunt of Barry Bonds has become absolutely absurd to anyone with more than a couple of brain cells to rub together. And yes, to any silly people out there still trying to scapegoat Barry Bonds:
Your favorite player did steroids too. Get over it. They still were not as good as Bonds and they never will be. Deal with it.
The ridiculous waste of tax payer money that is the witch hunt of Barry Bonds has now been
put on indefinite hold as it's clear that the federal government has greatly overstepped the law in their single minded pursuit of Bonds.
If the federal government wants to go after someone in regards to steroids in baseball they should go after major league baseball itself and the owners of the teams who ignored the issue for years instead of trying to scapegoat Barry Bonds.
Also to the idiot sportswriter (Rick Reilly) at ESPN who wrote
this dumb ass story about Albert Pujols taking all of Barry Bonds MVP awards:
You are a moron. You have completely missed the point of the Alex Rodriguez thing. The point isn't for you to now go looking for a new mythical "clean" player but instead to admit that steroids use was so prevalent during this time that it's moronic to try to give some players credit for being "clean" while taking away the accomplishment of the so called "dirty" players.
Your self-righteousness makes me ill.
And your memory is lacking. Wasn't it just last year that there was
significant suspicious about Pujols himself? Would anyone really be surprised if Pujols did steroids? I would honestly be extremely surprised if he had not.
This is not about finding "saviors" who were "clean" during the steroids era you brain dead fool. This is about accepting the reality of the times. If you want to go after anyone about steroids, go after the owners and MLB itself for not giving a crap that players were on steroids when it was helping the games popularity (and thus helping them make more money.)
