Barry Bonds Conspiracy Theory...

RPM · May 9, 2005

Is it possible that bonds is faking injury or injured himself on purpose to avoid people seeing how bad he would be without steriod use?

for instance, why does he refuse to use team doctors?

if he never comes back, this theory could gain some credibility....

I think it is a very plausible theory. I hope he doesn't come back

sherman · May 9, 2005

this is exactly what i thought from the beginning.......

red007 · May 9, 2005

there is no way that this is true. no offense, but thats about the stupidest thing i've ever read on this site. like the giants are going to let bonds sit out while collecting 18 million dollars. the chances of this "theory" being true are about the same as the chances of jj gold being a successful sports bettor.

much more likely that he is no longer on the juice and his 40 year-old body and oversized melon are breaking down.

wouldn't you love to see gallagher blast him in the back of the head with a mallet?

i'm saying that he is injured. if he wasn't injured, he'd be on the field.
no team is going to let a player sit out w/ a fake injury esp if they are making
18 mil.
its insane to think that he is sitting out injury free.

sherman · May 9, 2005

again what do u mean let?

if he wont let the team drs see him how do they know if he is injured or not?

Is it safe to assume the majority of baseball fans would prefer he not play again?

THE WHITES DONT WANT HIM TO BREAK THAT BLACK MANS RECORD. He is just a jerk and gets scrutinized like Bobby Knight or Jose Canseco would. Both blackballed in their carreers.

Dawoofdaddy · May 9, 2005

I doubt many of any race want him to break Aarons record.

Dawoofdaddy · May 9, 2005

Wow, this thread was getting a post every minute until the magic race card was flashed. It's amazing how much this omnipresent issue brings so much silence.

Maybe if more people openly discussed their feelings the problem would become less of a problem.

i got a $200 bet with a black guy.i bet aaron wont be in stands when bonds is ready to break his record. so you know im praying bonds gets well because i know i got an easy $200 in my pocket. by the way, aaron is black the last time i looked. so why wont aaron be in stands? because he knows bonds cheated to get where he is. it is not a race issue. he is trying to break a black mans record and doesnt deserve to do it. so please dont make this a race issue. bonds is getting everything he deserves. its his girlfriend who going to nail his ass about signing autographs and not reporting it to irs. its all coming back and biting him in the ass and a woman will be his downfall again. remember sunny. ask barry, he will tell you about sunny, his 1st wife.

I am always amazed at the intense reaction on any subject related to Bonds and this thread is no different. Bottom line in my opinion is that Barry may very well not return to play this season at all, particularly if the Giants are out of contention with 2 months to go. He would basically be starting spring training in mid July at the earliest and not hit any kind of form until sometime in August. Believe both the Giants organization and Bonds will decide to not take any further chances with his knee this year and wait until next year. With that said, and 2006 being the last year of his contract extension, wouldn't expect him to reach Aaron, should he decide to play again. Believe he would like to try and surpass Ruth but has often stated in recent years that he may never reach Aaron and the Giant organization extended his contract one additional year through 2006 to try and do so. Personally, it would not surprise me if Barry not only didn't return this year, but after sitting out the year, decided to retire permanently.

I don't think he's hurt near as bad as he claims. If he comes back he'll hit about 15-20 homers if he gets 500 at-bats and he knows it. He's looking at big-time embarassment if he returns.

yeah, he wants to hang on the beat ruth because babe ruth was a joke. he never faced black pitchers so his records mean nothing. he was also fat.
