Baseball is stupid.
Plain and simple.
Every team has a player on it that has used PEDs. That's probably a very sure bet. Why is Barry Bonds so different? Is it because he was a great player helped by PEDs to make himself a legend? Is baseball really that hypocritical to be pissed off about their record being tainted when they did absolutely nothing to curb PED use? The men who are running this show are buffoons.
Bonds is going to put up a .400 OBP with 15-20 HR. Sure, he may not be able to run very fast, but he's going to be on base. Better to be slow and on base than fast and not on base. He's going to still scare pitchers, hit a lot of doubles, and draw a ton of walks. That type of production can justify the media circus. Barry Bonds' statistics will not lose a team any games. He will win them games.
Yes, he's a douche. I'm not disagreeing with that. But at 43, even with the help of PEDs, he's still a pretty effective offensive ballplayer.
