Miggy upset at Umpires and Jack Morris

[dale675]

Bonds was a beast. Too bad he used steroids or he would be in the conversation as the greatest to ever play. I truly believe the only reason he took them is because he saw all of these other guys jacking out HRs and he knew he was better than them. Purely an ego thing.

Speaking of Bonilla, it was Bobby Bonillas annual payday last week. Every year from 2011 to 2035 he gets a $1.19 M check from the Mets from when he deferred the $5.9M they owed him. He / his agent turned $5.9M into $29.8M.

I agree with the Bonds ego thing. He was a weird guy man. He had 30+ HR power back when he was my size. He never needed to juice. You don't see a lot of guys with his power stealing as many bases as he did. He was awesome. I have an autographed ball. It's one of my favorite pieces next to my JV autographed ball.

I never questioned why a borderline MLB player, or a guy that's kind of stuck in the minors, would juice. To me...the risk would be worth the potential payday. Going from $30K a year to millions. But a guy like Bonds...he was going to make more money than he would ever need, without steroids.
