Official Barry Bonds Thread

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

We really need a Bonds sticky.

Done.

If things don't flow well in sections it's because I merged 3 Bonds threads into this one.

Those were:

"Bonds on Bonds"
"ESPN and Bonds"
"Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756"

Use this thread to discuss all things Bonds.

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

Hey, I've NEVER bashed somebody's opinion on here before, okay? Anytime that I post one, it gets beat like... well, I don't have quite a big enough analogy to compare.

I may disagree on some points, but this is EXACTLY why I made this post on the second page of this thread:

By the way... I know that I always sound like a crack-addict when I post about Bonds. I understand that, and I know that. I regret everything that I post about him (because they sound luney when I type them), but inside my head, they sound like the most sane points and views in the world... and I do not regret having them.

I just have a different opinion than each and every other person in the world, and that's okay. If I have a different opinion, though... you can debate with me, I don't mind. I actually love these debates, though I'm nowhere near winning in terms of the majority factor. Also, my points are all improvisational, making them sound very disorganized and comedic. But please don't laugh at me about them, okay? I don't have the power (again, by majority) to laugh at anybody else for any of their opinions, and I have to shy away at those points.

But I am allowed to like Bonds, consider him the best player that has ever lived, etc., and I should not have to be given crude remarks about how I am a good stand-up guy. I should be laughing at every Royals and Tigers fan out there, regardless of your location on this planet. I should laugh at people that enjoy things like sabermetrics and collecting memorabilia, just because I think that they are crazy obsessions, and complete wastes of time. Just... don't use my posts as comedic relief. Either ignore it, or choose to agree or disagree.

Please respect me as I have been for you guys. Please? If you don't agree, say "I disagree."

To be honest, you did post this to everyone (which your lucky didn't get you a break from the forums):

"You guys are so pathetic. I mean, I'm not going to debate on this thread (I'll save it for the other thread ), but he's finally just given some time to speak openly about whatever. Just listen to him, don't make fun of him. You guys are complete losers, ugh!

You only wish that you made 1/1000th of what he does."

That's muffin errr Blzer's MO. Say a bunch of stuff that's out of his ***, then say things like the above quote, then try to pass it off as everyone bashinig him.

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

I didn't bash an opinion. You guys wreck me with anything that I speak my mind with. I was annoyed. Remember what I said regarding that post, too... well, I'll have to find it. It's something about you guys just completely making fun of the guy and such, and it's actually a worthwhile reality T.V. show, etc.

You tell me what my M.O. is. You say what I do, and predetermine my next attempt at "saying something out of my ***".



Wow... I do sound a lot like Bonds.

Thank You for proving my point.

And you know what? Just like every other reality show, it's completely fake.

You say Vin is boring then proclaim kuiper and krukow are the best announcing duo? Sorry but now you really are talking out of your ***.

Take some advice from your guy and "grab some pine meat" because you really struck out in this thread.

Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread

I have a question. I don't live in the Bay Area so maybe I might have missed something and would like to get it cleared up. If Barry Bonds did use steroids in the manner that the reporters who wrote those books say, then wouldn;t that be contradicting what he said to the grand jury?

Wouldn't Mr. Bonds be in under arrest right for perjury, rather then hitting a ground rule double? It's just a question.

Look at rafael palmeiro, he lied yet isn't in jail.

Investigation forthcoming, not just by baseball, but by the legal authorities.

Also if the book were unture, he'd have a pretty darn strong case for libel, something that he has not pursued.

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

You insulted other posters which is worse. It's a violation of the TOS and isn't tolerated.

This is nothing against you Blzer as I'd warn any poster who said that, but stuff like that has never been acceptable. It's fine to debate opinions, it's not fine to attack the poster(s) of those opinions.

[Blzer]

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

It wasn't really an attack. That's really my bad. Now THAT'S one of those posts that I regret posting... I was just doing it because it's like, if I'm in any of these debates, I can't win. Not in the sense that you guys are right and I am wrong kind of thing, but it's 1,000,000 - 1.


In MY opinion (once again, just my belief), any post where somebody tells me:

You say Vin is boring then proclaim kuiper and krukow are the best announcing duo? Sorry but now you really are talking out of your ***.

Take some advice from your guy and "grab some pine meat" because you really struck out in this thread.

How is that not an insult? Just because it's implicitly stated, it's all of the sudden not insulting?




I'll tell you why I get such weird appraisal on here... it's because I'm different. Okay? There, I admit that I'm different. I have different likes from you guys. I hate rap and love alternative rock. I hate the A's and love the Giants. I think Kruk and Kuip keep me awake while Vin puts me to sleep (remember that I said that they are ENTERTAINING, not the best duo... I did say that Kuip has the best home run call, though). I'll eat ketchup with anything, but I hate tomatoes. After practice everyday I go to the public batting cages for a half and hour and get 200 swings in... the first 100 are practicing my bunting.


I mean, I just do different things. They aren't wrong, they aren't right, but they are different. EVERYBODY here that has said that I am wrong by doing these things (or that they are just invalid, weak, and not worth posting on here) are violating the TOS as well. It's just insulting!

Re: Vin Scully doesn't want to call 756

Blzer - Let it go. You need to step back and drop it already.

For what it's worth, those others you speak of that debate what's right/wrong/indifferent are NOT violating the TOS. There's is nothing that states there can be no such debate on the boards. There is however a clause regarding insulting other members or calling them names.

Look, I don't know everything that happened before when you were MuffMcFluff as I wasn't a mod. However, from what I understand from others, you're heading down the same path. Just chill out and let things go.

I will.

The thing that happened when I was MuffinMcFluffin was I asked sdrotar a question about MVP 2004 if some stadiums have Dusk to replace Night. He said that they still do, and I questioned why they decided to go with that approach... ever since then my name was tainted, and everything that I said (whether good, bad, or just a post) became overthrown and overdisputed, and I didn't even do anything. Then, I said "A MuffinMcFluffin by any other name would not be disrespected as I am now." Fossen and I made the agreement to try that, and it worked.

Hopefully it's not happening with this name, too.
