Also, I was listening to ESPN radio and they had some interesting statistics. Of the 104 players that have failed drug tests for steroids, more than 54% of them have been pitchers. So before people start bashing all of the great hitters in MLB, they may want to consider the fact that there was a very good possibility of them having to face a juiced up pitcher every game.
I agree. Plus, there are some who think that Bonds is the one of the few who have taken steroids. People forget that he was in the middle of a hall of fame career before the alleged steroid use. I would rather see a full investigation rather than just ripping Bonds. There are quite a few players who I can think of off the top of my head who could have been on them due to overinflated one or two season stats that I won't mention.

I am kind of indifferent about Barry Bonds as a player but I think the treatment of him is unfair since there are quite a few other players out there who are just as likely to have been rumored to juice.
