Posted: 7/31/2007 11:06:40 AM | | Hitting a baseball is one thing....Hitting a baseball hard enough to clear the fences is another...He was a skinny little twerp in Pittsburgh...Now he's a juiced up twerp in San Fran...He cheated plain and simple...He's an ***hole plain and simple...He does not deserve the record plain and simple... | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 11:15:23 AM | [untill it is proven 100% that Bonds was on steroids...I say give the man a break. Steroids can not help with eye/hand coordination or the ability it takes to hit a ball coming at you 90 mph.]
First off, I find it hard to believe that there are people that are not convinced that he is not juicing up. Granted, juicing up probably won't help you put the bat on the ball, but put the bat on the ball and drive it into McCovey Cove........consistantly?????
Secondly, the man is an arrogant ahole, pure and simple. The vast majority of players and fans don't like him. That has been proven 100%! | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 4:02:35 PM | While im not a Barry Bonds fan, how is he a disgrace to baseball? he's arrogant and rude YES, not media friendly YES, was Bonds on the juice before it became illegal PROBABLY,he can deny it all he wants.
I would think there are bigger disgraces in baseball than Bonds....................Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, Jose Consenco, Jason Giambi, the 1919 Chicago White Sox, Gaylord Perry, Albert Belle, the list goes on and on. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 8:45:52 PM | | There are hundreds of ball players that have the hand /eye cordination to hit a baseball. They are pros. But to hit with power, they need to hit the needle like this jerk off. Try breaking Dimaggio's consecutive hit record. Won't happen. Because roids can make you faster, stronger, and jump higher...but you can't get ability from a needle. baseball has become a joke with people like this. Maybe they will give the overpaid , overrated idiots aluminum bats so they can break legit records. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 9:18:01 PM | Gee Keyman11, you want the average guy, to take steroids and see if he can match Bonds record??? do you hear your self? what a asinine comment....................Of course he's better than the average guy HELLO , he's been playing baseball all his life, gee what a concept
I just hope A Rod stays healthy and beats Bonds record , what then? assuming he ( A ROD) isn't a cheat like your hero Barry
Hate to break it to you slick this thread is about Barry Bonds, if it was about rich athlete being rude that would be another topic wouldn't it?
You know if Bonds wasn't the arrogant selfish prick that he is, and Had half the class of Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and my favorite Tony Gwynn, more people would be cheering on this guy, instead loathing him , and all you can come up with is well everyone on Steroids blah blah blah.
Ive met Tony Gwynn on a few occasion there is a Class Act, we were teasing about how little he knew of Canada, but he was quite the jokester, and a gentleman, No wonder fans LOVED this guy, and when he was finally inducted into Cooperstown, NOT ONE person had a bad thing to say about him NOT ONE, even the harshest critics loved him , why he had CLASS, nothing to do with his race. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 9:30:29 PM | | There are alot of players in all sports that are hated. The difference between them and Barry is that he cheated and lied to break one of the most hallowed records in all of sports. If had retired 10 years ago, he probably would have walked into Cooperstown and been welcomed there with open arms. Now he will taint a record, and will do it only to satisfy his own overblown ego! I too hope A ROD stays healthy and juice free. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 9:44:14 PM | | On second thought, I was thinking about that lob errrrrrrrrrrrrr throw that Barry made from very short left field 10 or so years ago that was a tad too late to nail a streaking Sid Bream at home plate and cost Pittsburgh a trip to the World Series. I think that traumatized him so much that he immediately started pumping the juice. I really can't blame him for wanting to juice up after that HORRIFIC experience. | |

this is irrelevent, I bet that Barry Bonds would be pleased to meet you and even show you around his house. youve never met him.
and if you guys want to talk about class act well what do you have to say about Hockey players who spend most of their games beating on one another, beating the referee ect...these guys act like deranged 4 years old and they have fans around the world!
the truth is that sports is about wining and breaking records not about class act. this may explain why, for exemple, hockey is still a popular sport. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 10:44:44 PM | | The thing that bothers me is that these people are supposed to be role models for our children. The ones who set records are the ones that kids look up to the most, and they get involved in drug scandals and all sorts of crap. I think THAT is what is wrong with sports these days, which is why I have no problem with mandatory drug testing and players getting fired for taking banned substances, or for doing anything 'immoral' (ie: Vicks and his dog fights). There are atheletes who are excellent role models out there. Perfect example up here in Canada is Milt Stegall, a player for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who just broke the record for most touchdown ever in the CFL. For him football is all about teamwork. When they stopped the game after his record breaking touchdown he first thanked the other team for allowing the game to be stopped, then thanked God, his family and then all the fans. After all his major plays he always says he couldn't have done it without his team mates, even a play where he got a 100 yard touchdown with 4 seconds left to win a game last year. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=bBAB1xF_lY4 just in case anyone wants to see it, it's pretty awesome!) | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 11:24:01 PM | Keyman, you obviously don't know much about hockey? no hockey beats referees give me a break, or beats one another, maybe if you watch Don Cherry's videos.
I hate to break it to you, Hockey is not that popular in the most of the USA, except New York, Detroit,north eastern USA, way down in the south where Bubba, Billy Bob and Jethro lives they rather watch Nascar or bowling for dollars before they watch a hockey game.
wpg chick, thats whats wrong with society nowadays, people have to look to athletes as role models? wow just because one can play a game very well or play a instrument well, they are put in the role models role? thats sad. No athlete should bear the burden of a role model, these are people who are good at their craft and receive serious amount of compensation for it.
Its nice to see some athletes give back to the community, such as the Milt Stegal, Mike Pinball Clemons, Jerome Iginla , Grant hill, Dwayne Wade and a few others, but thats becoming few and far between. | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 11:46:56 PM | I actually don't see anything wrong with kids looking up to people like Stegall or Clemons, or Cindy Klassen or any of the atheletes who work hard to get where they are, give back to the community and do it all without resorting to drugs and play with passion and class and dignity. I wish more kids would look up to atheletes and want to be like them... maybe we wouldn't have an obesity problem. But seriously, even people like Hilary Duff (who asks fans to bring non perishable food items to her concerts to give to food banks and who doesn't end up in rehab/jail every other week and doesn't go around showing her lady bits to the world) are good role models. It gives children someone to look up to, a figure they can say "I want to be just like him/her when I grow up!" People who worked hard to get where they are and who do positive things for the community are perfect role models in my opinion. Although I do think parents should be the best role models a child has in terms of a child's moral compass, when you hate math and computers (for anything but the bare necessities) it's hard to look up to an accountant and a computer programmer (that's what my parents do, and I hate math and computers). Some times kids need to look elsewhere to get a role model for something that interests them, whether it be sports, movies, music, fashion (my little cousin wants to be a designer and is in love with Vera Wang) whatever.
Without someone out there doing great things, showing us it can be done, we lose motivation and think "I'm just a kid from a normal family, no way am I gonna be able to do great things. No one else has done it." | |

Posted: 7/31/2007 11:56:54 PM | | I think he's great! He typifies sports culture which the culture at large takes much much too seriously. All this doping stuff makes me laugh... if it isn't steroids or HGH it's some other high tech trick. Win at all costs is far too prevalent in our society so when Barry Bonds does it and makes a villain out of himself I say "bravo!" I hope he gets 1000 home runs. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 9:04:00 AM | | I think it is pretty evident that drugs help Barry alot in getting to where he is. Afterall when he was juiced up look at the numbers. Barry isnt on steriods now because he is just an average player these days (he actually is suking this year). It is scandalous that the record will be broken by Bonds when there is little chance he would of broke it without his juice. Anyhow it is a mute point because Barry will soon be the all time HR leader regarless of how he got there. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 9:53:33 AM | | It doesn't matter anyway. Once Bonds breaks the record, only die-hard Giants fans will take it seriously, and as long as Alex Rodriguez stays healthy, he will break the record (legitimately) in about six to eight years. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 10:20:26 AM | Actually Byrd, McGwire fell by the wayside when Barry Bonds topped his HR feat for a season with 73 back in 2001.
But since you're trying to rewrite history in your own mind well, by all means you can still say McGwire, or Maguire as you put it, has or had the record, or whatever you're trying to say. It's still lost on me actually.
The record and the record books reflect MLB stats, not Negro League or any other.
Apples to apples Byrd. Apples to apples.
Jamercianguy, Canseco is coming out with a book that may shed some light on A-Rod as well. We'll see.
I think the only legitimate hitter out there, (one that can be saddled with greatness, that is), at the moment is Ken Griffey, Jr.
FYI, I'm not a Bonds or a great baseball fan for that matter. I just like to see the line between fact and opinion not be so gray. | |

Evidently the lack of interest in Hockey is not limited to your stereotypes. ESPN rarely shows any of it, and when the All Star game is on the Lifetime channel, that says volumes about who watches Hockey. Bubba , Billy Bob, and Jethro probably have no interest in it...and you really don't want me to break out the Black stereotypes that don't watch Hockey either, do ya??
I live in the middle of the US, and I watch NBA, NFL, and College Football..not Bowling for Dollars. | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 12:02:10 PM | Yeah ok Rk92559, first thing Slick I was talking to Keyman11
second thing, black stereotypes? WTF are you talking about?
third, since you live in the MIDDLE of USA and I said SOUTH as in Southern States, you know south of Mason Dixon line, how can you answer for people living in the South?
Why don't you break out the Black Stereotypes that dont watch hockey? this I got to see | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 1:43:34 PM | Oh you know...all blacks just like basketball, or football. That statement compares to portraying anyone from the south as some redneck living in a trailer watching Bowling for Dollars.
And there are 5 NHL teams below the mason dixon line, 3 have Stanley Cups. So maybe Bubba and friends do watch Hockey some. | |
