I will say this over and over . . . why do we care and why does it matter?

going to stop watching?

So then why do you hate Barry Bonds?

Will I stop watching, no. Do I think it matters, yes. I would like to think my favorite players have achieved what they have done naturally and not gained an unfair advantage over those who were doing it the right way.

Bonds lied to a grand jury. That is pretty serious and that is basis of dislike for him . . . secondary to that would be Bonds was a top ten player all time without banned steroids . . . for some reason that arrogance irks me . . . he should have been happy with the legit stats he accomplished.

So it ain't so Rocket!!!!!!!!!

D-Backs and Rockies have their youth on-field right now, and they're winning.

I love Jimmy Edmonds... a great CF... IF he can bounce back
My Padres are trying to plug holes with 50-50 guys who've seen better days
but with our pitching, you gotta think they'll be around at the end of September

Now that Dan Haren is unavailable....the Yankees have gone back on previous statements, and have begun to pursue Johan Santana again...

Hiroki Kuroda signs with Dodgers

Jim Edmonds traded to Padres

Padres sign Glendon Rusch. There's the move to put them over the top.
