Word is Bond

I’ll be so happy when Barry Bonds breaks Hammerin’ Hanks all time homerun record. Don’t get me wrong, Hank Aaron is pillar of baseball greatness, never to be tarnished or diminished. But this is about principles, to me. In my view, baseball turned a blind eye to the drugs as they did in the 1985 cocaine scandal. They knew what went on in their clubhouses. If a child OD’s on cocaine in his parent’s house, guess who’s criminally negligent. Ain’t nothing supposed to go down in your house, that you don’t know about; and baseball knew. Even if baseball didn’t know, . they’re still negligent, because this is foreseeable, and they should have known or taken adequate precautions to guard against these abuses. Furthermore, in light of the ’85 cocaine scandal, the argument could be made that MLB was straight-up reckless because they did not institute a strict zero-tolerance drug policy.

C’mon man, you got guys like Dave Henderson, Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargell using cocaine in MLB clubhouses,  during games. . .?!?! Matter of fact, I think it was Dave Henderson who said that the reason he slid head first is so that he wouldn’t break his cocaine vial which he used to keep in his socks DURING GAMES!!!! IN HIS SOCKS, . . ..DURING GAMES! And you guys got the audacity to come to me with some purity of the game mumbo jumbo! MAN, GET OUTTA HERE with that! (And I’m not even gonna bring up Comisky (who happens to be IN the hall of fame) and the 1919 World Series scandal.)

Its funny how all that stuff can be forgotten, when a geeked up Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa bring the fans back after baseball’s 1994 strike. I remember at the time these idiot sports writers talking about all the homeruns that people were hitting. Looking back on it, it’s obvious how stupid they sound. They were all like: “…are the balls juiced, . . is it a different bat, . . what is ‘causing all these homeruns?” You fools! It was obvious to me, and I’m sure it was obvious to everyone else. But we turned a blind eye to it. These guys were on the juice. These’s no way, you can look at Marck McGuire during his rookie year and Mark McGuire in the later years of his career and NOT surmise that he was juicin’. There’s just no way! They guy was a pencil neck his rookie season, the season he hit 70 his thighs were like tree trunks!

SO, . . . since you turned a blind eye, this is what you get. The “blankety-blank” that you love to hate, is about to be the all time home run king. Serves you right MLB! Serves you right! In a twisted way, I think that’s what drives Barry Bonds; the idea that they created a monster, and now, they have to deal with it. You know? It’s like, all of sudden, nobody’s happy. Nobody wants to see records shattered anymore. Oh well. Too bad. “But wait, we don’t like Barry Bonds, he spit at a sports reporter back in the days. ..” Too freaking bad, he’s at 755 and threatening to go yard. (I bet after he breaks the record, . . he sees more wayward balls than Mr. Magoo’s golf caddy) Its just disgusting, . . Mcguire, who they won’t let in the hall of fame, honored Roger Maris’ family who were in attendance when he broke the single season homerun record. Now, fast forward to 2007 and Bud Selig won’t even watch Barry Bonds play! That’s just ridiculous.

These athletes’s put it all on the line for you. The owners are making hundreds of millions, the fans are entertained, the writers have something to write about, the odds makers are making a killing; at the very least, they deserve the benefit of the doubt. You so called fans, sportswriters and commentators are hypocrites!

So, for all the flip flopping sports writers, commentators, general Barry Bonds haters and so called baseball fans, you should have said something before, but since you turned a blind eye because you were making money, or being entertained; you are hereby foreclosed from complaining. So sit back, . . and enjoy the show. Cause Barry’s gonna break the record, WORD IS BOND!
