Barry Bonds' surgery was slow in the healing process. Either that or the Giants slugger doesn't want to risk injury by returning too soon. Hank Aaron couldn't be happier knowing his homerun record remains in tact. Sure he may be humble, acknowledging and respecting the achievements of Barry Bonds in his career, however if the chase gets real close and the record is broken hammering Hank may not be so polite. The occassional swear word will come out of his mouth if he's still living. This year has been dim and unexciting for Barry Bonds. His constant run in with media has fueled his aggression. Reiterating references to the homerun race and steroids has bugged the self-absorbed baseball veteran. His lashing out at the media only brought more problems on himself. Dodging questions and getting angry helps no one. This in turn is why reporters are curious to know the truth, therefore questioning the hell out of Bonds to catch possible flaws or lies. Being in the spotlight is not always glamorous, but the high pressure comes with the territory so Bonds needs to accept it and shut his mouth.
Bonds' defensiveness about using steroids stirs controversy into a sports news whirlpool. For once, it would be nice to see the guy with a good attitude. His reign in the baseball shrine of records is put on hold due to absence this year. He may not care so much about the record now because of the unwanted attention and scrutiny he receives. Being over 40 adds another degree of difficulty for the old, bald-headed grouch on the San Francisco Giants who rarely signs autographs. His career highlights are impressive as a player, but they may continue to be called into question if he is found guilty of using steroids. The time away from the game he has should be spent recuperating and from here on out being honest about everyting. (Most likely this won't happen because Bonds is greedy and selfish).
