What if Bonds returns to baseball noticeably skinnier? - Page 2

KurtBevacqua · 07-05-2005, 06:03 PM

We'll probably say the same things about him as Pudge Rodriguez who came in 20 pounds light and has only 5 homers and his slugging (.449 from career .488) and OPS (.753 from career .833) are significantly down after supposedly dropping all that weight on purpose to get better.

Like, what if Bonds' OPS came back so high that it stopped being numbers and started being its own language, and then aliens heard it on a distant planet and it caused them to shower us with their poop? But their poop was, to humans, a special kind of chocolate that is non-fattening and nutritious?

Maybe aliens are pooping into Barry Bonds' mouth!!! I think the majors should crack down on that kind of unfairness!!!

Yum, non-fattening poop. It's entirely possible Bonds has been in communication with these aliens already, resulting in a skinnier appearance. What will really be interesting is to see how long MLB will allow its usage under its drug-testing policy.

I don't think Bonds used steroids, at least not regularly, but I do think he probably was/is on HGH. I'm not sure if he could still use that without the ability to work out. Either way, he could reasonably argue that he lost a lot of muscle mass because of the injury. It's amazing how everything works out conveniently for Bonds.

As for Ivan Rodriguez: Didn't he say around August of last year that he needed to lose weight because of the toll it was taking on his knees? That was long before the new testing policy. Again, the guy could just be covering his bases but it seems to me like this was a move made to prolong his career.

.999/1.234/7.640 for Bonds.

And Lindsay Lohan is not fine. She's a disgusting, filthy looking woman. And that was before the drug-induced/implant-removing weight loss.

People probably will say that, and that could be part of it, but you have to remember that he's a 33 year old catcher. The reason that he went to the Tigers was because no one else would give him as long of a contract out of fear of he would have a sharp decline.

Maybe Barry has an eating disorder. Have you ever thought about that, you cold-hearted people you?

This is how I feel as well. Whether he shows up skinny, fat or ripped there is little doubt in my mind that Barry took steriods at some point.

Anachronism · 07-06-2005, 04:52 PM

Does it really matter?

Fact is that even if his lean frame is due to his lack of ROIDS, when he returns and hits .270 as suggested above he can now just conveniently blame his numbers on this past injury.

Also... the man is 40 years old, for crissakes. It wouldn't be surprising at all to see him go tits up (to the extent that .270 with lots of walks is tits up).

My first thought would be "how is he going to be able to carry the weight of that gigantic cranium now?"

View Poll Results: What will your take be if Barry "The Stick" Bonds returns to MLB?
STEROIDS!!!!1 ROIDS ROIDS!!! ROIDS!!11!!	30	47.62%
Who gives a crap? Can he still hit?	14	22.22%
I never cared about Barry's size and I still don't	8	12.70%
No matter what it's all a construct of the media	2	3.17%
He's older now and needs to take better care of himself	0	0%
He wasn't heavy, he was voluptuous, like Anna Nicole Smith	9	14.29%
Voters: 63. You may not vote on this poll
