This is what makes the trial such a farce… even if they prove all of the other stuff, they won’t be able to prove his “lies” had real consequence, considering everyone involved with BALCO was punished anyway.

I believe it was Nowitzky and maybe a small team of investigators who prosecute special cases. You make it sound as if rapes and child abuse in Los Angeles were not investigated because of Nowitzky’s team. You can continue this broken argument when they come after Lance and his dirty crew in a few years.

Alrighty then.

Greg Anderson, as expected, refused to testify, and has been taken into custody for his fifth jail term related to this case.

This is hilarious.

He lied under oath, which is a federal offense. He is being prosecuted for it.

Fin.

He’s going on trial for lying. yes

He lied to cover his ass for taking steroids. yes

He took steroids because he wanted to be as loved as McGwire and Sosa. yes

He’s now more hated than either of them. debatable, but most likely

So, in a sense, his lying backfired.

And now he’s going to share a jail cell with Roger Clemens because they lied to the biggest bunch of liars we got in America.not a chance in hell

From a diehard Giants fan, and someone that actually knows Barry’s mom from my high school days…

1. I believe Barry took steroids
2. I believe he lied about it. No fucking way he’s putting something into his body that he doesn’t know what it is.
3. I still believe he’s the best all around baseball player I’ve ever seen.
4. I believe he would have made the HOF without steroids.
5. I believe Barry will prove he’s the best in another category… making sure ge doesn’t get caught for steroids.

The man had too much on the line to ever have it come out. He was way too personal to let too many people inside his circle that he couldn’t trust. He knew what he was doing every step of the way, and covered those tracks very well. He will not get convicted of this, the prosecution just doesn’t hav the evidence they need or he would already be behind bars.

This. Just because this has dragged on doesn’t absolve the reason for this trial. The Feds fucked up, Barry lied, but he still broke the law.

This will end up costing tens of millions at a time when we’re shutting down vital government programs. Not everyone who broke the law gets prosecuted. I J-Walk every day in plain view of cops. They don’t chase me down on foot, tackle me to the ground and write me a citation for it. Bonds’ crime does not fit the effort and resource expenditure to prosecute it.

Will still probably tell my nieces and nephews this is the best baseball player I ever saw.

Ken Griffey Jr. will get that vote from me. Not Bonds…

This dude gets it. +1 asterisk sign.

Bullshit. When I have kids, I’m going to treat Barry Bonds like Episodes I – III … they never fucking happened. Yeah, I know, I know….I’m “unrealistic,” what with my “standards for decency.” The rest of y’all can act all cynical and shrug your shoulders and say, “well, everybody else is doing it.” Fuck that nonsense. I hate that cop out crap.

Yeah, I’ll be that guy. I got no fucking problems with that. You cheat the game, FUCK YOU. I don’t care who you are. If Pujols is found out to have cheated, then FUCK HIM as well.

And Barry Bonds? Dude ain’t going to the HOF. You can’t throw out SID FUCKING BREAM, you got no shot of going to Cooperstown ‘lest you buy a ticket, dude.

I think the trial is bullshit, but people need to separate the fact that this has less to do with steroids and more to do with a botched BALCO raid. The feds fucked up a very expensive and long investigation…they’re trying to save face. If that means taking down a high profile baseball player for doing it, so be it.

This.

So on the one hand we’ve forgotten about Bonds or we just don’t care, but we still remember the Feds screwing up the Balco raids, and that’s why they are doing this? To save face? None of this is compatible.

The merit of what the government is doing is settled. A person allegedly perjured himself and he is being tried for it. Public opinion about the alleged perp’s baseball career is inconsequential as is the opinion that this is a matter of saving face.

He knew about it as much we did… it’s not like he had all the players tested, saw the positive results… and did nothing. They weren’t being tested for it regularly, so how could he have known for sure?

Really? He looks like a dope and one All-Star game ended in a tie… and that’s why people hate him? Who gives a fuck about the All-Star game. I was at that game. Didn’t bother me. When I tell people I went to an All-Star game, they ask which one, and I say “the one that ended in a tie.” Nobody remembers any of the other ones. What the hell was he supposed to do? Change the rules of the game on the fly and force pitchers that were already used back out there? It’s not his fault the managers were dumb asses. (I’m not attacking you, I agree that these are two reasons people use as examples of why he sucks, I just don’t understand it.)
