so does anyone have a predicted "line" for BB this year, stats-wise?

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 03:25 (twenty years ago)

he didn't really look like he shrunk that much did he? esp consider he spent the past year blogging. anyhow my guess - he hits around 40 homers, yr bayliss's and cowherd's think this 'proves' something or other.

― j blount (papa la bas), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 05:04 (twenty years ago)

I don't think he'll play enough to get to 40.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 19:16 (twenty years ago)

I think his 1999 line is not a stretch:

102 games of .262/.389/.617, 34 HRs, 73BB:62K

no comment on the 15 SBs.

It really is. I shrunk it b/c it was 600x600 -- you should look at the original size if you haven't already.

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Beginning in 1998 with injections in his buttocks of Winstrol, a powerful steroid, Barry Bonds took a wide array of performance-enhancing drugs over at least five seasons in a massive doping regimen that grew more sophisticated as the years went on, according to Game of Shadows, a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters at the forefront of reporting on the BALCO steroid distribution scandal.

(An excerpt of Game of Shadows that details Bonds' steroid use appears exclusively in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, which is available on newsstands beginning on Wednesday. The book's publication date is March 27.)

i just finished reading that article. nothing shocking to me.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

at this point i'm just going on the assumption that the only player not using 'roids is juan pierre

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

I wonder what proof they have. I mean, this is rather specific.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:30 (twenty years ago)

Well, if everyone's on roids, then it's a level playing field, so there's no problem! Wheeeeeeeeee!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Proof? You don't need proof when you've got "THE TRUTH".

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:44 (twenty years ago)

I wonder what proof they have. I mean, this is rather specific

i believe a lot of the specifics come from the recently unsealed court documents. there was a link regarding the notation/documentation that i didn't bother to follow.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

The article flatly states that all of their evidence consists of leaked grand jury testimony, supposedly confidential documents + affidavits, etc. I still don't understand how nobody's been charged with any wrongdoing there.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:55 (twenty years ago)

I believe Nick Sylvester was involved.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/03/06/growth.doc0313/

at least as interesting as the article, to me.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:03 (twenty years ago)

Still, the article seems to rely on evidence that wont be backed up by anyone involved or statements by the "girlfriend." Most of this has been leaked already and reported in their paper. If any of this has validity (the girlfriends testimony about tax evasion, the lying to the grand jury) where are the charges? Anyway, they've been gunning for him from day one and they'll keep it up long after he's retired and I have a feeling he'll still be having the last laugh.

― dan. (dan.), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Anderson's calenders/diaries seem pretty conclusive to me without much more evidence. I can't see a non-steroid explanation for their existence.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:59 (twenty years ago)

Weren't those leaked already? I could have sworn we've been hearing about caladers and cycles for a few years now. And I'm not saying he hasn't used, just saying this looks like a hit piece.

― dan. (dan.), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:03 (twenty years ago)

But he's the most beloved athlete since Kirby Puckett!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:17 (twenty years ago)

jeez! - could you hate Kirby any more?

Bonds' HR peformance:

1990-1994 Age 25-29 175 HRs
1995-1999 Age 30-34 186 HRs
2000-2004 Age 36-40 258 HRs

Either Bonds is some freak of nature that somehow peaked later than 99.99% of every baseball player ever to play the game or something helped him out. Either way, the MLB or the Players Association did not care enough about the doping to make it against the rules.

Bonds was good when he was young, so there isn't anything to say he wouldn't be good in his late 30s, but to do what he did, forget about it.

Timeline wise, 1998 seems early to me, I would have thought Bonds got on the program after being beat up in 99 and missing a bunch of games. If it did help, it did not really kick in until 2000.

Hi! We're 2 years ago!

I can't imagine anything more boring than an entire book about what Barry Bonds shot into his ass.

Yes, we should definitely pass steroid judgements based on subjective suspicions of performance increase instead of, er, evidence that someone used steroids. Nice.

This is why I generally ignore everything other than positive tests and confessions.
