If the player admits it, apologizes to team, fans, family, and serves the time? Great. I am actually also ok with Bonds. He probably used lots of things that are banned now, but he never failed a test.<br />I don't have much respect for the guys that deny it, try to blame it on someone else, and or loudly moralize on the use of peds right before they test positive. <br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580716283983922689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-67989456621286375622016-05-26T10:29:36.890-04:002016-05-26T10:29:36.890-04:00It is funny how the steroids thing played out.

I'd love for the Brewers to trade him, but a guy who still is a damn good player and who holds the places he does in team history is tough to flat out hate.<br /><br />I may need to do this list myself. My list would include the Pirates' own no-fun police officer Gerrit Cole along with McCann and Pierzynski and historical references to Kent Hrbek, Pete Rose, Jose Canseco, and Reggie Jackson.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-89400358381995338612016-05-25T20:27:42.696-04:002016-05-25T20:27:42.696-04:00Phillips, I have forgiven himPhillips, I have forgiven himManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00723730037880660613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-52666936419798684572016-05-25T07:37:39.783-04:002016-05-25T07:37:39.783-04:00I think you mean the Theo fleury effect.

That left Pettite, who used HGH, lied about it until he got caught, then seemed to receive none of the heat that Bonds, Clemens, Raffy Palmeiro, etc got... It felt unfair to me and his handling of the situation kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Truth be told I hate that they constantly crushed the Twins in the regular season and worse, in the playoffs.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580716283983922689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504646615318477533.post-77988726599195780172016-05-24T14:22:56.025-04:002016-05-24T14:22:56.025-04:00Bob Davidson and Angel Hernandez are two other ump...Bob Davidson and Angel Hernandez are two other umpires that drive me nuts.
