George Brett goes negative on steroid users
"I wasn’t a home-run hitter,” Brett said, “but I know from talking to guys in the 500-home run club, guys like Schmitty (Mike Schmidt) and some other guys like that, if those guys make it in then they’ll never go back.”
Meaning?
“Meaning those guys will never go back and attend (the Hall of Fame inductions) if the cheaters get elected.”

Ryan Braun strikes out twice in Cactus League debut
Ryan Braun received the Barry Bonds treatment in his opening Spring Training game in Phoenix on Sunday.
The game was played at Milwaukee’s home spring Park - the Maryvale Baseball Park - against the Giants.
Brewers fans gave Braun a standing ovation when he came to bat.
Yet, about half of the nearly 7,000 fans at the park were cheering for the San Francisco Giants. Fans yelled “Ur-ine Sam-ple!” and “Cheater!” at the NL 2011 MVP winner. Braun struck out twice.
The Cactus League game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Has Barry Bonds Cursed the Pittsburgh Pirates?
The Curse of Barry Bonds
by Tim Williams
Seriously, why don’t we talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates being cursed? The team hasn’t had a winning season since 1992. A lot of that has been due to horrible decisions. But even with horrible decisions, it’s hard to go that long without a winning season, unless you’ve got some bad luck involved.

Barry Bonds — Free To Swing "Dangerous" Baseball Bats … Again

Curt Shilling casts his vote on Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds
Whether Roger Clemens, an early mentor to him, should be in the Hall of Fame:
"No, he shouldn't. I don't believe any of those who cheated should get votes. You never know when they did and when they didn't. I don't know how much was real. That's just me. I don't think anybody who did it should get in.
"Wait, you said [for years] that you never did it? Now [you say] you did? It's the Pete Rose defense. And you got caught the first time you did it? And how about when you [actually] started? That's a whole other conversation. It's just very black and white: They got caught doing it, they're out. Unfortunately, some of my friends and teammates are on that list and it makes me disappointed they made that decision. It doesn't make me like them less. Now, Barry Bonds? How can you even remotely consider that guy a nice guy?"

Clay Hensley: who yielded No. 755 to Barry Bonds is a Giant
Right-handed reliever Clay Hensley, who yielded the Barry Bonds home run that tied Henry Aaron, has agreed to a one-year, $750,000 contract with the San Francisco Giants.
Hensley is well-known and well liked by both GM Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy. Why wouldn't Sabean and Bochy not like Hensley. They both witnessed #755 sail out of AT&T Park. The next day, Hensley was optioned to the minor leagues.
In 2005, Clay was suspended 15 games for testing positive for steroids while pitching in the minor leagues.
It is once again great to be a part of the Clay Hensley project!
