Bonds is most likely meanest, nastiest player since Ty Cobb to swing a bat. He holds major league record for Home Runs, and he IS a steroid user. There is no question about it. To say that Bonds gets his shape from working out is like saying Pamela Anderson drinks a lot of milk to keep her breast size. He could have put answered all rumours, silenced his critics, if he just took a drug test, yet he refuses. More and more, allegations keep coming about his steroid use from former roommates to training instructors. In a league whose very soul is based on statistics, how can Major League Baseball continue to allow a public asterisk on last TWO home run records? Could it be that commissioner is afraid of a 200 pound black man holding a bat? Could it be that Bud is afraid that reaction from black community would bring about riots if he chose to remove Barry Bonds' home run record from books? Or maybe it is because MLB feels that after decades of injustice towards Negro League, this would be another way to repay some of debt owed to black community. Let's go back to summer before McGuire and Sosa made headlines in their famous battle that ended in McGuire breaking Maris' home run record. The average attendance in major league ballparks was slipping. MLB still had not recovered from their last work stopping, and fiasco of replacement players. TV ratings were also low. There was talk about Football becoming officially recognized as America's favourite national pastime. Then come McGuire, with his own brand of steroid, and Sammy Sosa. They brought new life into game. Ratings skyrocketed. Attendance was up. The owners made MONEY. Jump ahead a few years later. Barry Bonds has taken steroid problem further. He is being "tipped off" before having to take "random" drug test. How can MLB admit to this new problem without taking money out of their wallets, and calling into question every major broken record over last 5 years. Steroids are THE cover up of Selig era, and it won't be until a few more Ken Caminiti's die before mainstream starts focusing on this story.

Extreme Slying

EXTREME FACTS: HUMIDITY Hotter air can hold more water vapour than cold, so as air temperature falls relative humidity rises. When it reaches 100% it is known as Dew Point and condensation will occur Even desert environments can have high atmospheric humidity, which can soon reach 100% when equipment is brought out from air-conditioning Condensation causes tape to stick to rotary drum, which can be catastrophic Most machines will employ a condensation sensor that can prevent operation for as long as an hour Non-condensing high humidity can still cause much faster head
