I never thought his defensive play was all that great.

I hate having my team associated with Bonds but have to remember other greats that were nothing like him like Willie Mays, Will Clark, Urebe, Willie McCovey, and Juan Marichal to name a few.

Gotta stick with my team, but there are some other players out there on other teams that I love to watch, too.

A very public moment in Pittsburgh was the spring training confrontation Jim Leyland had with Bonds, as you said *primadonna* and Leyland got in his face and screamed *I'm tired of kissing your ass* Bonds was traded at the end of that season. Mark McGuire, even more disgusting than Barry- Roid, is in a coaching position some where in baseball. After being on television and adamently denying any involvement of steroid use.......I was also very turned off on Baseball after the *strike*, it took years for it, (the sport) to recover from that.

We have a very young and extremely talented center fielder named Andrew McCutchen. Last I looked, he wasn't in the running for the All star Bid, and thats a shame, as he is outstanding. He runs, Bats and throws. Some have said he is a reminder of a young Barry Bonds......I hate to say being good, when he was young (barry-roid) went to his head.....but will end on a pun. Did you ever notice the disproportionate size of his head near the end of his playing days?
