1. I must say....

that blaming one of your teammates is really beneath contempt.

i hope the giants release him and he just go away.

3. Hear hear

They have to stomp this sort of thing out wherever they find it, so that the little fires here and there don't burn out the whole sport's integrity.

8. they were just recently banned. first time...

5. Amphetimines are widely used in the NHL and baseball is trying to get rid of them.

They've got espresso machines in clubhouses, etc.

Baseball's really trying to do something about it. Bonds knows this.

6. what a piece of shit..

it's never your fault, is it Bones? You'd of thought he learned his lesson about using unknown substances after the Balco incident. I don't believe either story for gawddamned second. Athletes don't just put "substances" in their systems without knowing what those substances are. Lousy tweaker.
