If everyone in racing is using fuel additives then you need them also to be competitive. No different in baseball.
Pitchers are lasting longer and recovering quicker with steroids and skewed the record book.
Hitters are stronger not just because of steroids, but because of better training, diet and technology.
No amount of steroids will give you the talent and hand/eye coordination to do the hardest thing is sports, which is hit major league pitching.
Statistics are simply that. You don't have to like the outcome for them to exist. Barry Bonds is pretty much a dick but he has hit the most homeruns, end of story. Maybe Hank Aaron hit one with a corked bat and so should have one less homerun. Who knows? |

They don't allow olympic atheletes to take performance enhancing drugs.........
same criteria should apply to baseball..............
part of the reason I don't follow baseball like I once did....
as far as I'm concerned Hammering Hank still holds the record.
Bond's heads gonna explode one of these days. |

Hey Twister, good to see ya back
I share similar views on Bonds & just had to YAWN when I heard he broke the record 
Shared this story from a local writer/newspaper in our clubhouse at the other place that I thought was pretty humorous
You'll probably find it humorous also
This director to it was on the front page...
Congrats, Barry.
Now go away
Count Jim Ingraham among the many who still consider the great Hank Aaron as baseball's all-time home run king.
Ingraham has a simple request for Bonds: Leave. The sooner, the better. Page 6
The Story>>>
Record isn't fit for this new king
So we finally have a new home run champion.
Wasn't that exciting? Wow. What history.
I don't know about you, but for me: chills.
Gimme a moment here.
OK. Thanks. I'm fine now.
Whew! How electric was that?
So you wanna get something to eat or what?
Congratulations, Mr. Barry Lamar Bonds. You've now hit more home runs than anyone ever, while being completely miserable about it for most of your career. How, we mere mortals can only wonder, do you do that voodoo that you do so well?
Seven-hundred and fifty-six home runs. A little perspective. If some journeyman, just for the sake of argument let's call him "A-Rod," hit 30 home runs for 23 consecutive years, he would have to hit 67 more after that to break the record you, Mr. Barry Lamar Bonds, have so humbly set.
That's right, you, sir, Mr. All-Time Home Run Hitter With A Considerably Larger Cap Size Than We Ever Previously Remember You Having Back In Your Days With the Pirates, are a true Man of Genius.
There. We said it.
We all know it. Including you.
You are king of the home run world.
You're the greatest player, dead or alive, ever. Bar none. Ipso facto.
No, really. We're not worthy. We're pretty sure you could have invented some pretty neat things if you had chosen science as a career instead of baseball. Surely you could have mastered politics, had you chosen that path.
You're probably the best-looking guy in baseball, no doubt about that. Whatever your salary is, it should be way more than that. For the rest of your life, you should never have to stand in line for anything, be put on hold, be given a vibrating pager so you'll know when your table is ready at Friday's, have to wait for an elevator, a rebate check or a sunny day.
People should compete for the right to clean up after you. Because you're bigger than that. Bigger than us. More important than us. Always have been, always will be. Ipso facto, baby!
Now, if you can just do us this one teensy, weensy little favor. Just go away. Leave. It's over. You've done it. Way to go. Good one. Yada, yada, yada.
Enough already.
Be a good little home run champion and run along. The rest of us would like to get back to baseball as we know it.
You know, grand slams, not grand juries. Farm teams, not pharmaceuticals.
Go back to whatever non-contending team it is that you're playing for, hit a few more home runs, make some more money. Whatever.
Just leave.
Here's the deal: We'll forget about you now if you'll forget about us. Everyone comes out a winner, right? You're obviously tired of us. We're clearly tired of you, so let's just call it irreconcilable differences and let it go at that.
We can get back to baseball and away from discussing you. And you can get back to you, and away from dissing us. Because if you really want to know the truth, we don't really care much that you don't really care much for us.
We don't care that you seem to be perpetually unhappy about voluntarily sticking around long enough to hit more home runs than anyone has ever hit. It's your life, and you can do what you want. But we've got lives, too. We've got worries and troubles that would gag your checkbook. We live in the real world. You live in yours.
Truth be told, we really don't have much in common at all except for our mutual interest in the most famous single record in the history of sports.
Now that you hold that record, breaking the record held by the previous office holder, whose quiet dignity and elegant career are everything that is right about baseball, we are faced with a choice.
We can celebrate your achievement by saluting you, what you did and how you did it. Or we can acknowledge your achievement only because it allows us to reaffirm our belief that there is a right and wrong way to be great, and many of us like the other guy's way better.
So while you may have broken the most famous record in sports, the record you broke was only a number.
The record on how to be great is still held by Hank Aaron.

I don't care if he was on steroids, had a loaded bat, and a lucky charm stuck in his kaboose. He hit 73 home runs in one year, while breaking the record for most walks in a season, highest slugging % in a season, and averaged hitting a home run every 6.5 times at bat. I don't like him, but that SOB can hit the freaking ball. As far as the steroids go, who knows who and how many years thats been going on. Steriods DO NOT give you hand and eye cordination, and thats what it takes to hit the ball.

Sure it takes power, but thats overrated. Its more about first seeing the ball to the bat, then hitting the ball solid with the fat part of the bat. Its also got a lot to do with how you apply your body to the swing, legs included. Talk all you want about him and I repeat again, I DO NOT LIKE HIM, but he is one of the greatest hitters that has ever played the game. He had the greatest single season with the stats I mentioned above and I'm telling you, steriods don't do that. The talent has to be there.

So I guess he is a cheater like most NASCAR TEAMS...LOL
Damn where do we go from here...
If you ain't 1st your last, ask Kyle *****, instead of Ricky Bobbit!!!LOL
But when he cheated it was legal, as in no rules?
Then we should ask NASCAR to start retracting wins and championships.
Bottom line here...
Call the kettle black as you may, but Brain Fagpance and company will always have more guilt than major league baseball org...
So shut the F**K up, and get over it, I love my NASCAR CHEATERS, how abou you?

No... it is not even play. Maybe i shouldn't have commented on baseball on a racing site. But we have always before talked about any and everything. The post didn't suggest anything to do with comparing the 2.
We have not always seen eye to eye on more than one thing, but have had the respect of one another to not contradict in hateful ways.
So don't tell me to shut the phuck up and get over it. That ain't too cool.

Boink is probably a bit on edge over having to change his name to Team Kellogg next year.
What Bonds has done with steroids is analogous to what Waltrip tried to do at the Daytona 500. Waltrip paid a price. Bonds has not and never will. |

Yeah Team Kellogg...LOL
I'm sure I can't change my team name...LOL
Since I don't play here anymore,
I'm sure I won't get the time of day, but that's OK.
I'm in my second year with the ALMS Series and I am certainly in growth mode
Our telemetry platforms is the same as Champ Car and IRL.
My position in the team has grown, and now I have more responsibility and pressures which is COOL!
The team has confidence in what I do,
I am a guy that is always afraid to fail, keeps me cornered and heading in the right direction...LOL
We got a new crew chief named Buddy Fey, he used to work with Gibbs Racing and this guy has opened me up ten fold, seriously.
After meeting and working with this guy in less than 5 races I'm stoked on the intel.
I wished I could have had a Dad like him, I'd be Crew Chief by now...
But don't count me out.
I am working with PI Research telemetry software programs, all the cup teams quietly use this software on all the development cars, when we were at Atlanta for a tire test days before Sonoma, Hendrick was there with Max Papas doing some shock testing, they had sensors all over that car.
I am setting my goals to upgrade my fantasy life...
Champ Car or IRL
While I don't post here much anymore, I still really enjoy a few peeps that actually took the time to meet me when I was in their area.
Bottom line...I love haulin' ass>>>> speed rocks!!!
Knock on wood,
I haven't had any tickets in my vette, and that is a good thing, because most likely I would get chaffed wrist if I got caught doing the chit that I do.... key word slithess...LOL
I can't say I am living the Americam Dream, but I got to be damn happy because I am moving in the right direction.
I get travel a lot, only go to the physical workplace a couple days a week on average...
Breaking into Champ Car or IRL will mean...
I get to quit my real job...LOL
If any peeps would stil like to meet I can post my travels,
I quit posting because so many peeps flaked, you make the call.
Keep bettin' on racin'.......LOL
Best Regards,
Boink for now.
