Gee, hooray. Barry Bonds hit his 714th home run, tying him with Babe Ruth on the all-time record list. Pardon me while I celebrate his ability to consume drugs.

Sorry folks, I'm a huge baseball fan, but Bonds absolutely does not impress me. Sure, it takes talent and ability to hit the ball and no, I couldn't do it -- but the home run number is primarily due to taking performance-enhancing drugs as a professional. No big deal. Why didn't he get this far sooner if his professional job is to take drugs and hit a ball?

Sure, go ahead and claim that "everyone does it." That doesn't make it right. The ball is a lot harder than it was in Ruth's day, etc., etc. It really isn't that impressive -- and I'll be just as underwhelmed when he reaches Hank Aaron's 755. The asterick stays. Right on the Right agrees, and Kender says:

Bonds couldn't wipe the shoes of either of those guys.

1 I so agree with you, Bonds is an asshole. There are quite a few great players out there today not on drugs doing what they do best. Take Ken Griffey Jr for example, he is one of the best players out there doing what he does naturally, no drugs. Lets celebrate those players instead of Bonds.

2 I'm not celebrating, that's for sure. I like Matsui of the Yankees -- did you see he apologized for getting injured? He's honestly sorry that he got hurt so that he cannot play. Most of the bums would sit home and collect their paychecks without a care in the world.
