<font color=”BLACK”size=4>Bonds vs. Wells <font color=”SCARLET”size=3>”The Tale of the Tape”.
<font color=”BLACK”size=2>by Best Bet Sports Handicapper Jim Sneeringer @ www.daysbestbet.com
<font color=”BLUE”size=3>As Different as Night and Day.
<font color=”DARKBLUE”size=2>It takes a man to stand up and go against the grain, and David “Boomer” Wells ~ is that man.
Wells praised Bonds’ baseball skills but said he should “be a man and come out and say that he did it” if he used steroids.
“If you’re guilty and you got caught, come clean. I think you can get a lot more respect from people than (by) lying,” Wells said.
David Wells, with all of his off the field , Ruth like behavior, doesn’t care what the union wants, doesn’t care that he can be fined by baseball’s “lame duck” commissioner, you see, David Wells is a ball player, and a dam good one, and he respects this game we call baseball that has been good to him.
And David Wells has been good for baseball.
Boomer can pull a “all nighter”, then show up at the ball park and pitch a perfect game. Pitching in post season, few hurlers can match the success this left-hander has displayed thru out his career.
A 5-2 record in divisional series,
4-1 in league championship series,
10-4 record in post season with a sparkling 3.15 earn run average!
Thats what I call in my profession ~ “a MONEY” player.
Baroid Bonds on the other hand, after “juicing up” for severals years, still coudn’t perform at Wells post season level .
The numbers speak loudly….
Bonds vs the Mets in the 2000 post season managed to go 3-17 .
And that my friends, is after juicing up to the extreme, by injecting himself with cattle steroids !
Ruth and Maris are somewhere up their in that big ball park in the sky laughing their baseball caps off.
In Tampa, Joe Torre said allegations of steroid use have given baseball “a black eye.”
“I think the one thing that baseball has always tried to maintain was the integrity because our game more than any other game statistics are so important,” the New York Yankees manager said. “I think that right now that is called into question, and it’s a shame in Barry’s case. He’s such a good player … long, long ago before there was any doubt on what made him good.”
Torre is concerned about the long-term impact on fans.
“It’s certainly a black eye that we all have to be aware of,” he said. “It can turn to anger if you try to circumvent and get around trying to help us clean up. Trying to cut corners or trying a different way to keep doing what you’re doing, that I think is wrong and knowingly wrong.”
We need more “men” like David Wells and Joe Torre to speak up, and I think the time has come for others in the game to follow their lead. It’s bad enough that Bud Selig has permitted these ripoffs of the game to survive as long as they have. But the time has come, and we, as American sports fans, will not tolerate the sham that this commissioner has orchestrated.
Bud Selig is no Judge kenesaw Mountain Landis,
and Baroid Bonds is certainly,
no Babe Ruth.
