Re: Bonds 1 away
The Bonds situation is different tho. Bonds has consistently been a jackass to the media and teamates alike. He's a dour and surly individual who stupidly thinks of himself only rather then thinking about the greater good.And people wonder why Bonds and many other greats keep to themselves... Regardless of what they do, there will always be haters. I don't agree with what Bonds has done nor do I support those type of actions, but when I hear people make death threats, wish injuries upon them and whatever the hell else happens out there... it's wrong in anyway you look at it.
I know McGwire was on andro when he broke Maris' single season record but he was loved by almost everyone because he made himself accessible and said all the right things. Bonds has NEVER said the right things in his life. Now don't get me wrong i've seen Bonds being charming and he has his good days but they're so few and far between that he's been saddled with the image problems he has now. You add very strong allegations of steroid use to the mix and it makes it tougher for him to be accepted by everyone.
It's a shame that the greatest player of our generation is also one of the biggest jerks in baseball. I'm glad he didn't tie the record over the weekend as the contrast to Bonds doing that with the HOF ceremony with two of the classiest guys in modern baseball history would've been very striking and in some ways embarrassing to MLB.

Re: Bonds 1 away
Hit the nail on the head. Sosa and McGwire saved baseball, yet Bonds is doing all but the opposite. It would be in his best interest to go back home to his wife, children, and mistresses, start a Reality Show, and get his kicks that way. San Fran fans can hate me for wishing illness on Bonds, but how come I don't feel the same way about Sosa, McGwire, Luis Gonzalez, Shawn Green, Jason Giambi, etc? It would be disheartening to turn on the news and find out he was assassinated while making a huge *** grin to the San Fran fans after crushing 756. I just wish he would step away and go into seclusion like McGwire.The Bonds situation is different tho. Bonds has consistently been a jackass to the media and teamates alike.

Re: Bonds 1 away
Because they aren't and won't even be close to being the player that Bonds is/was. He's so close to this homerun record that people are making a big deal out of. Does he really make you not sleep at night? Sosa using steroids and corked bats. McGwire lying to the congress. Jason Giambi, sure he appologized but is he making enough of an impact in baseball? Same with others. Even Rafael Palmeiro was caught, caught using steroids and he even lied to congress too!! Yet, noone is talking about him on these boards.
People know NFL players are juicing, but they are held to a more angelic status just because it's the NFL. Shawn Merriman got caught for using a substance but was only suspended for 4 games and still was able to go the the Pro Bowl that same year. Does it make me hate him? Maybe, but not really. He's still fun to watch, although you have to question who else is using stuff in all of sports.
Just let Bonds do his thing here, and eventually someone else will break his record. There's always controversy surrounding everything being broken. Even back then people wanted to kill Hank Aaron because he was a black player who was about to break Ruth's record. Just imagine the talk back then.NBA 2K11 My Player: 6'11 Athletic Center/PF 58ovr Rockets

Re: Bonds 1 away
...except in this case, it is justified. Sorry, but Bonds brought this upon himself.I write things on the Internet.

Re: Bonds 1 away
I so hope he does it in Los Angeles or San Diego. The historical footage will completely ruin the accomplishment for Bonds. The booing will be deafening as he rounds the bases. What a different scene than when Hank did it.
This will be an enormous embarassment for baseball and Barry Bonds.Comment
