I am tired of hearing all the speculation regarding Barry Bonds.  Unless someone has absolute proof that he injected himself full of steroids, we should all just shut up and focus on the game.  In fact I’m blown away that two writers from the San Francisco Chronicle even wrote this book now.  Why not wait a year?  Oh!! I know they must be fans of the Oakland A’s.  Great job guys!  Hopefully your attempt to derail Barry Bonds hasn’t derailed the team itself.  Such good howntown guys they have there in San Francisco!  Oh wait!!  Isn’t San Fran the same place Terrell Owens and Jeff Garcia started their football careers.  Both are whiney primadonas as well and both did a fantastic job of bringing down one of the more storied franchises in the last 20 years.  What I am saying is that San Francisco is full of a bunch of people with personal agendas rather than team agendas whether its the athletes or the journalists.  I don’t know, if it was my hometown team I would do everything I could to support them, not try to bring them down before the season even started by continuing the witch hunt against their best player.

Barry Bonds has never tested positive for steroids and probably never will.  So until his career is done, why not leave it alone.  Once he announces his retirement let the speculation begin.  We will have lots of time to dissect his career and discuss his involvement in steroids during the five years leading up to his probable first ballot Hall of Fame induction.  Then if we can find proof he will be punished by not being voted into the Hall of Fame the first time.  Until then, let the Giants play. 

This will be the Giants year.  With all of the controversy, this veteran team will find a way overcome it.  They will have chemistry, as witnessed by Bonds willingness to dress up as Paula Abdul for Giants Idol.  They have leadership with such veterans as Bonds, Moises Alou, Steve Finley, Omar Vizquel and Jason Schmidt.  They strenghtened their pitching staff with the addition of inning eater Matt Morris and they play in probably the weakess division in the National League.

Barry Bonds will break Hank Aaron’s home run record and he will do it clean.  I know it won’t shut people up, but who cares.  As long as the Giants win.
