Bonds is over 40 years old. I can give him a pass for not being in the derby.

The derby is stupid, anyway.

Exactly, no one got on Jordan when he stopped doing the dunk contest. I think his last was in the early 90's or late 80's and no one bashes him for it.

Oh wow... Someone has a slump? Man... I've never seen a 26 year old with that...

Barry's in a slump like every player goes through.

What doesn't help him, is the way he acts during. Get pissed. Sure. But don't bark "go away" to reporters after they ask you questions.

It's this behavior that makes people hate him. I don't think the steroids thing would be as bad if he was a Mo Vaughn, nice guy type.

Exactly. If a guy like Papi or Jeter was on the sauce, no one would give a shat. That or they would all make excuses for them.

I agree... It's definitely the fact people don't "like" him.

In reality though, at your job, if you're one of the best of all time at it... Do you really need people to like you?

Isn't that what happens when someone breaks a record?

Eventually someone comes along and it's their time... That's what breaking records is all about.

But wouldn't the front runner be the guy in the lead

I guess that would make him king unless your the type to live in the past your whole lives and hate everything new and/or different.

I figure just about the time the press and public stop talkin about the steroid era and it all dies down in 7 or 8 years and barry's retired with 800 -820 bombs A Rod'll be on his heals and passing him,so there's no need for the *really....

if he wasnt so close to the record he never would have come back this year. hes old and hurt and was close to retiring after last year. i think most people know hes done after this year. he doesnt even play every game now.

are you nuts ?

he's on pace to hit 35 bombs with an OBP of .491,he signed a one year extention with the giants meaning after this year he probably go's to an amercan league team and could DH and easily play for another productive 3 years,he may just decide he wants to put this record out of A-Rod reach because after A-Rod there's absolutely NOBODY on the horizon to touch his HR totals,you gotta remember Barry was raised in the Giants locker room and if you think he's gonna walk away while he's still productive you're dreamin !

i may be nuts but thats my opinion. hes 43 and hurt and considered retirment the last couple years due to his injuries (age).
could he go to the AL and just DH?? sure he could and he may just do that. would make it easier for him to play in more games not having to take the field. but i think hes happy now that he broke the record and will retire after this year.

as for his numbers right now..... sure his OBP is high but thats because so many teams still walk him. his BA is just under .270 and has steadily declined the last few years.

right now on one knows what hes gonna do but him. guess we'll see in a few months.

first you say a-rod will be on his heels then you say bonds might put the record out of reach.your a moron.and bonds would have to play 3 more years to reach 800hr's.his production has dropped every year since drug testing began.
