OK, first of all...you spelled "they're" wrong, second of all, as franko said, they are winning, seeing as how they just swept Houston and outscored them 34-5 in the series.  Third of all, you spelled "sucking" wrong.  \nFourth of all - to "ICHOOSETOTEL..." - it would be, "it's a shame," not "it's ashamed."  "That his kids will have to dill with about there dad."  What is that?  That's not even a comprehensible sentence.  And, as if Ruth, Mantle, and Aaron were all such angelic saints themselves.  So, don't even talk about how Barry's not "a Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron."\n\nAnd, to reiterate my answer to Shawn, calm down.  It's not like ESPN knew that Barry was going to strike out.  Who cares about Avery Johnson's press conference?  They lost, they're going to lose the series, so it doesn't matter.  History, regardless of whether or not you think Barry cheated, is history.  And ESPN just wants to make sure that America sees it live.

Barry Bonds would not still be playing if he had not taken performance enhancers.  Yes, he is a great home run hitter, but no one, NO ONE, has ever doubled their home run-to-at-bat ratio at the age of 39 or 40.  Why?\n\nAdvancing age decreases home run output for everyone.  UNLESS you are elongating your career with performance enhancers.  In short, Barry Bonds is cheating every single player who ever played straight.\n\nFrom 2000-2005, Barry Bonds should have half the home runs he hit nullified.  These are the dates that he is documented as having been taking performance enhancing drugs.  These are the dates his home run-to-at-bat ratio doubled.\n\nBaseball needs to take action on this for the integrity of the game, and for the honor of every Major League player who did not enhance their skills with some kind of substance.  The fans deserve to know that their favorite players can be looked up to for the skills they were born with.  Not for trying to beat the system, and us, for the sake of more money.\n\nBarry Bonds is a great player, and he is also a selfish, delusional, misguided sociopath who thinks the rules don't apply to him.  That is a great message to send to our kids.\n\nHis punishment will send a message that sportsmanship is not dead.  Even though there is trash talking, fights, and huge egos, a line has to be drawn at performance enhancing substances.  You and I can't get away with it, so why should our athletes.

no way...it is a tainted record and bonds is out of favor. In the long run, 10-20 years it will die down some and records will be considered, but for now....look out below!

I'm with you.  He's a spoiled rotten jerk and I'm tired of hearing about him.  If you haven't read the Sports Illustrated steroid issue about him, it's very telling.  Especially entertaining was listening to him bellyache about racism.  Here's hoping he doesn't break the record of Hank Aaron, who's a hero and went thru HELL to get there!

Well, I'll put it this way. The legends of the game have had cold streaks way longer than 4 days. I wouldn't be suprised if he doesn't hit 714 until tuesday. Bonds is not a legend, and due to the fact that the footnote attached to his asterix on homeruns will cut off half the page, it really doesn't matter if and when he passes Ruth and Aaron. You ever hit a homerun? It's tough, and no one wants to be the guy who let Bonds tie Ruth.

To early to tell! Have to wait and see who they resign, who they let go and who they pick up. I hope they resign Bonds and pick up a few players, a few good players I should say!!!\nGO GIANTS!!!!!

I would be surprised if he beats Barry Bonds record this season and hits 74 HR. He could defeat Bonds recods when the San Francisco Giants come to St. Louis on the weeked between Friday to Sunday, September 15 to 17.

Yes, it's like a deal with the devil. Barry Bonds got a boost in power but he had to give up years of his life for it. Even though he has stopped taking them, the steroids still will play an effect on his body. He knew what he was doing, but I guess he thought breaking the all-time homerun record was worth it. He'll be sorry in about 10 ti 15 years.

sadly if pitchers keep throwing to him. If I was a pitcher facing bonds he could expect a bean ball every at bat. If I was a manager I'd tell every pitch to hit him with the ball or they'll be benched.\nWhat a loser to baseball and a disgrace to society. Barry Bonds is nothing but a joke.

This subject is being SOOOOOO overblown. I am NOT a Bonds fan, however having played the game from Little League thru College. Hand-eye co-ordination ( which is NOT affected by steroids ) is the biggest factor in hitting...and particularly in hitting Home Runs. What Bonds has done later in his career has much more to do with that and Strike Zone discipline than Illegal Supplements. If you have watched him over his career..He has taken Ted Williams theory to a new level...his swing is so quick that when He has 2 strikes He can ( normally ) foul off pitches in the zone he does'nt like..thereby FORCING the pitcher to throw pitches into areas of the strike zone where Bonds KNOWS He can consistently drive the ball. Either the pitcher comes to him...or He walks...look at the stats.My other concern is ( and no one ever asks this )How many of his homers were hit off PITCHERS who were JUICING as well ? And when push comes to shove...at least he's trying to improve his game...as opposed to guys who take the field high, drunk...or having just beaten their wife.

Right now.....Chris Shelton, the 1B for the Detroit Tigers. He has definetly gotten off to a fast start and if he continues he could a great season. I don't know how you can say Bary Bonds is under-rated.....if anything he is over-rated and he destroyed himself by taking steroids. It is your opinion that you don't think that he has taken steroids but correct me if i'm wrong but I believe there is evidence of him taking steroids(records,confessions,etc.,etc.)
