I would put Ortiz and Manny ahead of Bonds and Kent IMO, I think if they stay together for 2-3 more years, then they could be 2-3 on this list.

Yay for Lost!

 

Amen brother! Maybe I'll start a thread in the "entertainment" section.

I'm not clear on the formulas that allowed them to come up w/ this list. But I hope Bonds retires before he gets Hank's record. Not b/c of steroids or HGH, because he's an ass and there will always be those "question" marks.

 

Granted, he was a Hall of Famer prior to the "steroid era" but faaaack him.

the funniest thing is, in about 5 yrs we will ALL be rooting for ARod to break Bonds record because its better to have a fair play pussy with the title than a cheating ******* with it.

[ANiMAL]

and then 10 years after that Roger Clemens will finally retire

ya right

id carve my anus out with a rusty swiss army knife before i rooted for arod or anyone from ny to do anything positive...

 

of course if he was playing here i'd have a different perspective on things

 

baseballs power# s dont mean s*** anymore

after the entire nation was flim flammed by the commisionars office and then mark mcguire sammy sosa and then bonds

i dont think the luster on the home run record is what it once was

 

.400 and 56 will still mean something

but the others i fear will forever be tarnished
