Barry Bonds
Bonds just doesn't seem to get it. After being bombarded with steroid questions by the media on his arrival to spring training, he called reporters liars, claimed there were more important problems in the world, and generally danced around steroid questions. He claims he's tired of hearing the "same old questions." Well, Mr. Bonds, you get the same questions because you never answer them! The interview is actually fairly humorous. Here's my favorite:
Q. Do you view the use of steroid as cheating?
BONDS: As cheating? I don't -- I don't know what cheating is. I don't know cheating, if steroid is going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it. I don't believe steroids can help you, eye/hand coordination, technically hit a baseball, I just don't believe it and that's just my opinion.
Oh, I get it now! Because steroids do not increase your hand/eye coordination, no one should worry about them. Who cares if they increase bat speed to allow that hand/eye coordination to catch up to a 95 mph fastball? Who cares if a fly ball to the warning track now goes over the fence because of them?
If Bonds wants all this talk to go away, he should be a man and admit what he did was wrong and accept the consequences. It looks like he's a long way from that, though.
