I'm a baseball guy through and through.  I've not blogged it before and probably won't much I guess but I can't wait for the season to begin!

Anyway, I watched the last 3 hour or so of the congress trials last week and was very surprised at how harsh congress was being to both the players rep and the commissioner.  I'm glad they were because the drug and steroids policy that baseball has is joke.  It's all about money, they now it and we know it, but this was the first time they had to answer the difficult questions that we've all wanted to ask them.  I really enjoyed the question pointed the players lawyer about the policy and having 5 chances.  The statement was basically this:  Five times?  If a guy in my district gets caught once they are most likely going to jail and you guys just fine them the equivalent of $25 of an average persons salary.

Back to my subject of Mr. Bonds.  Prediction - we'll never see him in baseball again.  Why?  Because he's been on 'roids the last few years and now that congress is pushing for a "real" drug policy he might get caught or have to stop taking them.  If he gets caught then he'll be in a world of hurt and if he stops taking them he'll have to explain why he's smaller, not as ripped, and not producing at the same level.  If, that's a big if, he does return he'll blame it on his knee surgeries as to the reason he's smaller (unable to workout as hard) and not producing because the knee is limiting him.  Look at these pictures.  Ok, he's working out and training harder but so was Mark McGwire and Jason Giambi and they've both admitted (McGwire in a 5th amendment type way) to using steroids.
