Default Barry Bonds broke the HR record

I hope he doesn't go and get a big head because of this.

Does he leave the game now and go home, like he did before last night's game ended and like he does before 50% of his team's games end, or do you think he will he stay for the whole thing tonight?

GO A-ROD GO

I remember vividly when Hank Aaron broke the previous record. It was magical. The entire nation was enthralled. Does anybody give a rat's ass about Barry Bonds and this record? I don't.

Did barry bonds use steroids? I dont know, does evidence point to the fact that he probably did? Yes. But if it is so obvious that he cheated then why are we on our 3rd grand jury, why has George Mitchell the MLBs private investigator been at it for over a year, as well as many other investigators and the only inkling of evidence is a leaked grand jury testimony, yet he is still playing, he still just broke the record and we still have no indictment?

You cant tell me that he was the one player that covered his tracks that well, especially when all of BALCO went down.

So until it is proven without a shadow of a doubt I will enjoy the moment and know that i just watched history be made.

Barry Lamar Bonds is the greatest homerun hitter to ever live.

He cheated on his wife. How can you ever cheer for an adulterer?

The steroid issue is only one of several reasons I don't like Barry Bonds. Most homeruns? Yes. Greatest? Not to me.

The Kobe argument. I love it.

A-Rod will be revered until Canseco's new book drops and he's indicted for steroid use too.

It was a different time. Baseball was much bigger. And you didn't have all the media choices you do now. The fact that Barry is Barry doesn't help but I don't think you'll see that kind of attention again regardless.
