Tannerfan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 So what are the predictions for Barry Bonds in "05? 20 HRs, 70 RBI's? Maybe 2 or 3 doubles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I don't know, but all of a sudden, is Bonds too old to break Aaron's record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I likED Bonds.....now I can't stand the fact that he holds the record of hrs in a season and the possibility of having the record of hrs in a career.

Huh? I see him having another season like the last few. He no longer needs the roids, he has the best eye in baseball and that goes a very long way.

YASNY Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 It will be interesting to see what kind of year he has. Very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think he has another 200 walks, 40 bombs. I don't believe he was on steroids in 04 and he looked mighty good. I imagine (maybe only in ST) that a couple of pitchers might try to challenge him just to see what's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Whose to say they'd even detect these things if they are looking heavily for them. From the way it sounded the stuff he was using at Balco was 99.9% undetectable. You'd basically have to know exactly what you were looking for to find it. Regardless I'm like qwerty and think he'll have another huge year, unless he gets hurt or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmmbeeer Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think I remember reading that he doesn't start swinging at the ball until it's like 20 feet from the plate, which means he has much more time to decide whether he's going to swing or not. The guy is unbelievable..even though I can't stand him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The effect the steroid policy will have depends on the details. If a guy can get caught 2 or 3 times before they 'out' him, he could juice up for the last 2 years in his career and not worry about it leaking.

I would imagine a "mysterious" 10 game suspension would 'out' him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine a "mysterious" 10 game suspension would 'out' him. If I read it right, it is "upto" 10 games. I don't know what the minimum punishment is for a first time offense. That is another reason why the NFL has it right. All offenses are judged equally. There are no exceptions or wiggle room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I haven't read the details, but 10 games might be for a 3rd offense. What happens after the 1st or 2nd offense? It might take 2 years to be tested 3 times. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) If I read it right, it is "upto" 10 games.

Cali Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 This has nothing to do with the topic but it made me think Who is the Sox player rep right now? The last time I remember hearing anything from a rep it was Kelly Wunsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners have to figure out a way to break the union to solve their problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxhawks Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 steroids or no steriods bonds will still be the best in the game next, however it will be interesting to see how many guys get caught and who will fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
