Roger would make him back off the plate a little instead of hanging over the entire thing.

Didn't Clemens face Barry Bonds earlier this season, or in the past?

I remember the Rocket's saying something along the lines of "introducing" himself to Barry and his armor. In the following game, when Barry stepped up to plate, Clemens threw a pitch inside and I belive it hit Barry. Obviously Barry wasn't happy, but he procedeed to take off the armor and proceed to the first base. I don't think there was an confrontation between the two, but if there was, nothing drastic.
Either in the same, against Roger(or maybe Lilly), he hit a moonshot halfway into the rightfield's upperdeck. Not sure if it was in the same game, but definetely in the same series. I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one who watched the game.

P.S. Pedro is also a "headhunter". The guy pitches inside, and is afraid of nbody.

Don't remember that, it could have happened, but I'm not sure. I do remember that bomb that Bonds hit though in the upperdeck

Re: Barry, Gimme a Break.

Zombrano always does that, so it's nothing new. I'm not saying it's right, but Barry Bonds is being an idiot here. Barry Bonds should be the absolute last person in the world to be complaining about this. "He'll learn respect, I guarantee that." Well it looks like Barry hasn't yet learned this respect throughout his 18 year career. Please, what Barry does at the plate is ridiculous. Maybe he should rethink showing up pitchers after his home runs if it bothers him so much. And I like the way he says, "I don't get bothered by this stuff." Well if he wasn't bothered by it he wouldn't be wasting his time telling his opinions to the media.

Re: Barry, Gimme a Break.

Well it looks like Barry can dish it out, but can't take it. This is one of my problems with Barry. He thinks there are different sets of rules for him and everyone else.

How is it different when Barry blasts a shot and stands at homeplate admiring it (showing up the pitcher) and when Zambrano got over excitable after getting Barry out and Barry cried about it. Grow up Barry and get over yourself. Neither instance is right IMO, but for Barry to admire his HR's and then cry about a guy who got pumped up because he got Barry out is like "the pot calling the kettle black"...
