When Bonds breaks the record

Seems like Bonds is the one shouldering the blame for the steroids problem in baseball. Fact is the guy is a hall of famer regardless. He was one of the top players when he was a string bean.

Yes he was. And he is taking the bulk of the criticism because he is about to break a sacred record held by a man that is held in very high respect. And he may have lied in front of a federal grand jury. Thats not done yet.

What do you think Pillow. What kind of reception away from SF? Especially in Atlanta or Milw. (now home of kids attacking cars cause it summertime, the police just love it when the kids are out of school.)

Will there be enough fans at the game in Atlanta to boo loud enough so Barry can hear it?

Milwaukee..eh don't know much about their crowd.

I really don't care about the record to tell you the truth. The record that is tops in my book for hitters is rbi's. And Barry's not getting that one.

he will get booed here in milwaukee also, but i expect the fans who know anything about his career will not.

If the record happens on the road, a real fan throws that shiat back on the field

Bonds has gone up two full shoe sizes since he was 30.

He's a shoe-in for the HoF.

Having Bud Selig show up, and having him, and the rest of baseball acknowledge this record being broken as if it were "clean" and "kosher" -- in my mind doesn't solve any problem. It compounds it. This doesn't put the tainted days of MLB behind us -- it traps us inside of it. At least that is the way I feel.

I think there needs to be a drastic shift in how this entire situation is being handled. The investigation(s) are a joke, owners are not being forced to address the problem and deal with it head on, and players are not being put in a position where they suffer the consequences of tainting America's pastime.

I have several retired MLB players as clients, and as friends. A few of them are in the 500 HR Club. You should listen to their passion and disgust when they talk about the game they once played and will forever love. Not that all of them are angels or hollier than thou, but I think the game needs to stop perpetuating status quo.
