Personally, I can't understand all the hate for Barry. 

I was sipping some suds at a local spot not long ago and the bartender, while flipping channels at my request to find some hoops, chanced upon an episode of "Bonds on Bonds" and immediately spouted angrily that Bonds "needs to go to jail!"

For what?

Now, I didn't want to get into it with him, knowing that he'd be engineering my next Crown Royal cocktail, but I just don't see the logic.

I mean, if we're gonna crucify Barry for being one of the greatest, if not THE greatest player of our generation, then shouldn't we also nail the instution itself to the cross?  Players like McGwire, Sosa and the rest of the gang have gotten off scott-free.  Let's keep in mind that it was a waning Major League Baseball that shamelessly tried to self-promote while those two were chasing one of baseball 'most hallowed records.'

To not celebrate or even recognize Bonds' inevitable passing of Ruth is a travesty.  Major League Baseball is currently reaping what it's sewn.  It's only solace is that anyone even cares at all.
