One only needs to look at Bonds video over the course of his career to see something is not right in Denmark. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Point 3: I believe Clemens has pretty much been destroyed by the media. &amp;nbsp;Does anyone believe he will ever pitch again? &amp;nbsp;I certainly dont.</description></item><item><title>Gagne may never again fill closer’s role </title><link>http://atbat.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204669.aspx#1206439</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:31:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1206439</guid><dc:creator>Doug DeBaillon, Lafayette LA.</dc:creator><description>Sick, Sick, Sick of the &amp;quot;I'm not getting what I want so it must be racist&amp;quot; How is it that all of a sudden every MLB team is a racist??? I guess they weren't racist when they were paying you millions of dollars? And as for the writers agreeing with this crap. Racist pimps... What about all the other non white players getting paid millions of dollars.....that must be tearing all those racist up inside. I don't know how they sleep at night knowing they have all these n*ggers on there teams. What ever. Pay me millions and you can call me what ever you want. Drop the racist sh*t once and for all.........it's just so old, I just want to vomit when I hear about it. Quit whining and quit using the race card just cause you don't get what you want. When you act like that, people SHOULD treat you different. If there being accused of being racist by everyone including the media, then they should act like racist. Why not? You just soon get your money's worth..........you'll get called a racist no matter what.</description></item><item><title>Gagne may never again fill closer’s role </title><link>http://atbat.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204669.aspx#1206935</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:02:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1206935</guid><dc:creator>john service' Stockbridge, Ga,</dc:creator><description>Boo hoo Boo hoo poor Barry,everyone always picking on me.No one told tou to be a jerk,no one forced you go to Balco,no one made you cheat on your wife,poor baby all those millions of dollars and you want someone to feel sorry for you.Go to Argentina,but don't cry here where people have bent over backwards to apease your sorry steroid infested ass and your bloated head.</description></item><item><title>Gagne may never again fill closer’s role </title><link>http://atbat.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204669.aspx#1208381</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:26:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1208381</guid><dc:creator>JH, Philadelphia PA</dc:creator><description>Sadly, it is rather evident that the hatefest on Bonds is, at least in part, racial. &amp;nbsp;Bonds has become the face of the steroid era, even though he hasn't tested positive for a banned substance. &amp;nbsp;Meanwhile, Clemens, Giambi, Petit etc. are welcomed with open arms.</description></item><item><title>Gagne may never again fill closer’s role </title><link>http://atbat.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204669.aspx#1208945</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:28:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1208945</guid><dc:creator>D.Raymond, Black Mountain, NC</dc:creator><description>Bonds* is a junkie and doesn't deserve to be in baseball. &amp;nbsp;And, they should take away every award the Rocket* ever received in baseball too! &amp;nbsp;How is that for racism?</description></item><item><title>Gagne may never again fill closer’s role </title><link>http://atbat.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204669.aspx#1209092</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:03:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1209092</guid><dc:creator>Mateo, Yuma, Az</dc:creator><description>The Media and just the general people need to stop hating on Barry Bonds!!
