Bonds may no longer be a Giant, big deal!

Since a series of operations and a plagued injury last season, Barry Bonds looks to play in his last year with the Giants. He played 14 total games in 2005 unable to help his team reach the postseason. Bonds becomes a free agent in the fall and possibly could want to retire, leaving a legacy behind in San Fran. He would become a baseball legend and blah, blah, blah, so what? If you ask me it's more like he'll be leaving behind a dirty strain and a ugly mess filled with controversy, federal investigation, and perjury charges.

I don't see why anyone wants Bonds to break Hank Aaron historic homerun record. At 720 coming into the second half he still has a shot, but I don't see where doing so brings intregity to baseball. Whether he's guilty or not (yeah, probably so) the guy has never appeared honest and open with the media or the fans. He wants to hide the facts or try to cover up any illegal activity that's gone on behind closed doors. That's just not what makes a great Major League Baseball Player. Sure, players have lied in the past and will continue to do so in the future, but this involved cheating over a long period of time. The whole BALCO case originated back in 2003. That was plenty of time to take advantage of a quick, performance upper.

Barry didn't make an appearance at the All-Star game stating, "I don't want Pittsburgh to send me a farewell. Barry Bonds will say goodbye when he's ready."
Why does he still think fans care (Not talking about San Francisco fans). He needs to stop referring to himself in the first person as well, it just sounds ridiculous. Anyway, he should want to leave a lasting, positive mark on the game. Otherwise go ahead and retire Barry. We can all do without you.
