Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread

I love how ESPN is hyping this whole stupid thing, and yet nobody else gives a crap. ESPN, all hype no substance...

"It was there that a 25-year-old serviceman, who said he could soon be headed for a tour in Iraq, excitedly asked Bonds to autograph the home run ball that the man caught after it bounced off the facade of the upper deck. Bonds turned his head dismissively and ignored him. Bonds later posed for a picture with the man and shook his hand, but refused to sign the ball. It was just more of Bonds spreading his good cheer."

Yet Bonds or his publicist asked that same guy to sign a contract to be part of Barry's "Bonds on Bonds" show. I guess it's going to highlight his chase of Babe Ruth in upcoming episodes. Don't know for sure because I'd rather have my toenails, fingernails and every piece of hair on my body yanked out than watch that show....or watch Barry do anything. I see Bonds stuff in the paper and hear it on ESPN radio when I drive into work in the morning, but honestly, I have little interest in watching him pass Ruth or Aaron (despite other posters on here that claim we ALL drop everything to watch Barry hit).

Oh yeah, the guy did sign the contract. Classy move on his part.

Did you notice it almost popped out of his glove and over the wall?

Giants are 1-4 in games that Bonds has homered.

Is there a point? Or just a useless observation?

Useless observation.

Useless observation.

Works for me.

Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread

So, what's everyone's thoughts on the Giants not being able to sell out AT&T Park on nights where Bonds could potentially catch and/or pass Ruth for second place all-time? Has it really come to this? Are these the only 38,000 fans who even give a crap anymore? Does this happen if he gets to #754 next season?

In my opinion, people are getting tired of the Bonds saga. I think that people are starting to understand just how arrogant and how much of a cheater Bonds is. Whether you want to agree with me or not on my opinion, its easy to see that people just don't care anymore. Look at the stands at the park where Barry should be the most loved.

I think it's also important to note that the Giants are a bad team in a bad division. If they were winning I'm sure the Park would be full but I don't think the average fan is going to consistently go and watch their team lose, Bonds or no Bonds.

Bingo, even when Bonds was hitting HR outs right and left, people weren't going. It is all about winning. Plus the Sharks in the playoff, so that is some of the reason it is not sold out. I was at one of the cubs game and it had 38 to 40,000 people there!

Re: Official Barry Bonds Thread

I'd be a hyprocrite to blame Bonds for using steroids, because in the ultra competitive world of sports it's hard to swallow other players getting an unfair advantage over another without doing something to counter that advantage. I probably would have. But how can I get excited over a tainted HR record or expect anything less than the Ruth family not honoring Bond's juice filled accomplishment? As a huge Frank Robinson fan I'm not too thrilled to see the likes of Bonds and Sosa passing him on the alltime HR list, because they decided to cheat.

Bonds is despicable, with absolutely no redeeming value.
