HA! The Giants get under the Bonds contract

[AI_Franchise]

Bonds..Barry Bonds.

Anyways the MLB commissioner voided the Bonds 1yr contract with the Giants, which is what the team hoped for after learning Bonds failed the drug/metaphine testing.

What happens now? Where will Bonds end up breaking the HR record, o and Bonds wants to make sure the voters know that he thinks Rose and McGwire belong in the Hall of Fame based on what they did on the field. Did you honestly expect to hear anything different?

I'm sure he'll still end up signing with the Giants.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I hope the Giants have the balls to say "no" to Bonds and don't offer him another contract.

Re: HA! The Giants get under the Bonds contract

probably, but how much money/priveledges did he lose looking back on this?

I'm sure he'll still end up signing with the Giants.

Yeah right. Like him or not, he still sells tickets when he dresses.

He will be a Giants. And then next year they will finally sign some young studs. They will have a lot of money to spend next year. So that should be interesting. But for now we need his bat.

There will be tons of good talent in the pool next off-season, so yes it should be good times.

then why did they put up with him last year? If they made the investment before, why not see it through? He's gonna retire after breaking the record, then they can move on after making some money off it.

Yeah I know, I was speaking with my heart not my mind. I don't want to see that bastard break the record.

That's all.

This is funny does it really matter that he breaks it. What I mean do you celebrate the day that Hank broke it? Do you throw a party, take a day off from work? lol I hear what you are saying, but why to do care so much. Is it because you don't like Bonds or is it the Roids. So Bonds break it big whomp who cares doesn't change my life either way. I am just trying to see why people care. So feel free to rip this apart. So are you going to stop suporting baseball. Because if Baseball except it will you? Or will you strike against baseball. Or should Baseball write an * in the record books?

Don't be so defensive!

I don't like Bonds and the whole roids issue makes it even worse. Am I gonna stop watching and supporting MLB because he'll break the record? No, but that doesn't mean I can't voice displeasure about it.

I know MLB will recognize the feat but I sure as heck hope they put an asterisk beside it. Even if they don't, i'm powerless to do anything. I'll still cheer for my team and follow the sport I love.

Now if Bonds is ever voted into the HOF by the baseball writers well then i'll be seriously conflicted.

You crack me up. I agree with you and I wasn't trying to be defensive. But here is better question. Lets say you are a player and you make about 100,000 a year and you see some other players are taking roids and not only that they are becoming superstars, becasue of the roids. And they also now are making millions! What would you do. Take the roids and make millions too or don't an just make 100,000? Sure it is easy to say I wouldn't take roids, but damn that is a lot of money? Also, getting caught talking roids back then was damn near impossible!

I will say one if Bonds is voted in to the Hall. Then you have no reason to complain. They are toughest Judges out. If they find it fit for him to go. Then it must be a damn good reason. Becasue that is the hardest Hall to get in!

Re: HA! The Giants get under the Bonds contract

how can anyone say they dislike someone unless they know them personally. Could the media be responsible for this, i think you only get misquoted so many times then you say to hell with those guys.
