Thumper

I agree. And Bonds has no one to blame but himself. Not his trainer who gave him the steroids, he should have known better than to take it. He really ruined his rep when he got Greg Anderson as his trainer. Anderson was known to have supplied juice to McGwire and the rest of the Balco Buddies. Bonds should have stayed away and he's be a LOT more respected than he is today. But he did it because he saw fame and fortune. What he didn't see, the same thing that happened to McGwire, is the people questioning why such and old player play so well, so late in his career? Granted, Ted Williams had an exceptional season in 1957, and even again in his last season of 1960. But nowhere near comparison to Bonds. Ted got to where he was naturally, Bonds, and no player for that fact, is just THAT good to be 39 in 2004 and knocking in 101 RBIs and 40 or so home runs. It just doesn't add up. Someone had to pull a red flag. Sadly, no-one spoke, so Bonds and the rest of them walked free. Atleast Jason Giambi had the guts to come foward and apologize. And I respect him for that. I don't respect Bonds one BIT for his actions.

If you haven't, read the book "Ted Williams" by Leigh Monteville. You'll love Ted more than ever. He was really a good person. In the book, it says Ted just couldn't hold up to the emotion of waving his cap during the last homer of his career. But really, get that book, I've read it 3 times already and it's never gotten boring. Ted is different from Bonds. Ted played for the love of the game. He said so himself, in the book many times. He once said "The Red Sox were paying me $100,000. The least I could do was hit over .400." That goes to show that he really worked for it. And all this guy ever thought about was hitting, hitting, hittnig. He was just an amazing person with one of the most unique personalities in the history of life. Bonds on the other hand, doesn't give a s*** about any stats but the home run record, to get his name up there, and a nice plump paycheck. I'd assume Ted's $100,000 a year contract to Bonds would equal to about a good million or so in today's money. That still wouldn't be good enough for Bonds. And the truth about him, he would have been good without the juice. He was always a power hitter. Granted he may not have been the person he is today, but I deffinitely think his number would be retired and even a possible spot in Cooperstown. And he's getting those anyway, he just didn't earn it. Ted did. That's what makes them two so different.

You're right, when you're making millions and millions, who would give a s***? Money got the best of him. Same with Clemens. They don't care what other people think, they don't care what their teammates think, they don't even care if their team wins or not. All they care about is money, money, money.

I'm so f***ing tired of voting! I'm at 62 since yesterday. And I'm starting again now.

I actually wouldn't mind that either. He's seemed to have gotten his stuff together. But if we got him, that would mean getting rid of Lowell wouldn't it?

Who are you thinking of? A-Rod? I actually hope he DOES break Bonds's record.

Bonds shows a sign of a heart when he helped the guy back to security. Sure he could have been an ass and yelled for security and I'm sure he really didn't care about the guy's problems, but he took the time to make that man feel good, so I guess Bonds cares after all.

What the f***????? What did I look like and sound like?

It looks funny to me. So oh well.

A friend of mine sent this to me in an email. I still can't stop laughing. I hate Bonds so much.

Nice!!!! The American League is gonna dominate. I have a question about the All-Star game. I missed last years and never really actually paid attention to them, but is the DH rule taken out since it's NL vs AL?

I think the only people that like Bonds would be Giants fans. They love their Barry Juice.

June 30, 1978 Willie McCovey of the Giants hits his 500th career homerun in an eventual 10-9 loss against the Braves.

As long as I hear "Dirty Water" at the end of the game, who cares who did what? Ha ha!

*In best Family Feud Announcer Voice* SHOW ME MONEY! [$$$] Correct! A-Rod isn't going anywhere. The Skankee payroll is too good to leave. That's all it is these days, money.

Sorry, didn't see your post until after I made this one. You can delete my above post if you want.

June 29, 1990 For the first time in the history of the MLB, two no-hitters were thrown in the same day. The first one came from Oakland A's Dave Stewart and the second by Los Angeles Dogers's lefty Fernando Valenzuela.

Real funny Adam.

BIGGIO HITS 3,000!!!

Hey Adam, I went to Las Vegas once but didn't really see much because I was too young. Is it really all that great?

Nice one.

June 26, 1983 Rusty Staub (New York Mets) collects his single season record-tying eight consecutive pinch hit in an 8-4 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies. (I have this baseball calander with interesting facts throughout baseball history. I thought it would be nice to post these facts when they show up on the calander. Might be neat to remember some things. So next time I see something on the calander, I'll post it on that day).
