I kind of hate to admit this, but here goes.

I really couldn't care less if he used steroids or not. If Barry Bonds got on TV today and said "Yep. Did it. Used a lot." it wouldn't make any difference to me one way or another. I know I'm missing something here b/c I'm way out of sync with almost the rest of the world, but if I knew for sure he did them (and I think I do) it really wouldn't bother me at all.

Not because everyone was doing it. Not because steroids don't help eye-hand coordination. Not because I think he's getting any kind of a raw deal. Just because the issue is kind of flat with me. It just doesn't bother me, and I'm not sure why it doesn't. I wouldn't give it a second thought except I can see that everyone else is so enraged by it that I wonder why the issue doesn't resonate with me at all, and what I'm missing. I really don't care if anyone used steroids.

With Bonds, it is amazing to watch some of the things he's done. Sometimes he only sees one strike in a game and hits it out.

I just got tickets to see the Giants play in Milwaukee July 22, and am excited to go. I don't think he'll break the record that soon - heck I'm not even sure he'll play. But it'd be cool if he played, cooler if he hit one out, and coolest if it were even close to the record.

I really want him to break the record. Maybe it's because for some reason - no reason in particular - I never really cared for Hank Aaron.

OK. I know I'm in for it after this post.
