Bonds
Barry Bonds decided that he was going to be the victim in an interview on Tuesday. He spoke in a soft tone and appeared despondent, often saying that he was "tired" both physically and mentally.

I'm so tired of Bonds blaming the media for everything. The media didn't tell a mistress that he took steroids (allegedly). The media didn't injure his knee. The media didn't create the BALCO mess. These things are on Barry Bonds, and for him to sit in front of a camera and pretend that this is all everybody else's fault is ridiculous.

Bonds said that he might not be back until mid-season or even 2006. Some feel that Bonds might retire after this. Bonds seemed guaranteed to break Hank Aaron's 755 mark, but now for the first time in quite some time there is doubt. I don't wish harm upon Bonds, but I think it's the best thing for baseball if Aaron's record stays. Maybe subconsciously (or consciously) Bonds feels the same way.
