Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
Just got home from Bees in time to see it happen live. I can't say I like the guy, but the record is such a big part of baseball that I'm glad I was able to see it happen.

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
It's people like Bonds that make me want to use drugs. Personally, I think he needs to die in a tractor tire fire.

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
So I wonder if Rover caught the ball. He is one of the morning show guys. And was holding a contest. If he caught that ball I think it was some lucky listener that registered wins one million dollars. I am happy for the guy. Now he can die into the lime light and fade away.

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
I don't wish the guy death, just wish he didn't have all the shit above his head. All in all, it's more about the record than the man for baseball and there are a few guys playing now that could snatch that record up before they are done (like A-Rod).

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
Oh I know the record is back up in the air. But I also am not saying he should die. He came back and thats all he talked about. Did not care for his team I think. He wanted that record. I am happy for the guy really I am.

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
How much did steroids really help him though? Hand to eye coordination is the big key, and a good swing. Getting bigger usually means your coordination gets worse, so I don't think it could have helped a shit load. He was a 30 hr hitter back when he was little (with 30 sb) and came into the league, so it isn't anything new to him. I am not a big fan, but he did earn it.

Look at Mark Macguire now. A few years ago he was just massive, and led all of baseball in home runs. Then it came out that he used roids. He quit using in the off season, dropped 30 pounds and barely hit any home runs. Now you don't hear of him any more. Hell I am not even sure he even still plays.
As far as Barry is concerned he just ruined that title. He should have retired from baseball when he tied the record. Yeah it is a milestone. But do you honestly believe that he earned it?

IMO, nope. Bonds has no class, not a team player, and a roid user (whether he "knew" it or not).

HORRIBLE WAY OF DYING..... people scream for at least 2 or 3 minnutes in aggony until they faint from pain and lack of oxygen...
better off just dipping into acid slowly... and that is also bad too...
don't ask how i know
BTW.. i saw it too.

Re: Barry Bonds Breaks the HR Record!
I'm sure he took steroids, just searching the internet you'll see before and after pictures and tons of stats that will pretty much prove this to anyone with common sense. You don't just get bigger and better in your late 30's.
But what do you do? Most sports have this problem now. The players are just
fucking huge and you don't get that big just eating correctly and working out.
Oh well... he'll probably have a heart attack and die within the next ten years.
