Would you applaud Bonds breaking the record?

whoman69 · 03-17-2005, 01:01 PM

Latest news out is that Bonds pushed to hard on his knee and will now need a 2nd surgery. He is doubtful for opening day. He is 41 years old now and will have 2 surgeries on his knees. The question is, if Bonds is able to overcome this, would you applaud him breaking Hank Aaron's record?

Bonds has been my favorite player ever since I was a little boy. Let me answer that question with a resounding NO ****IN WAY

Is he going to use more of his flaxseed oil rub to promote the knee healing?

bkkcoh · 03-17-2005, 01:04 PM

Maybe that was what the Giants were trying to prevent!

It seems like it is a shame the Bonds has had a burr up his azz his whole career, he would have made it easier to cheer for him if he hadn't been that way.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-17-2005, 01:04 PM

Yeah. Hank Aaron probably cheated in some form of another too. Hell, throughout baseball there has been some form of cheating rampant that went unchecked. Steroids are just the newest form of the Spitball.

Can I pick two AND three?

**Saulbadguy** · 03-17-2005, 01:06 PM

I also think most of the people who do vote 2, don't even like baseball.

IMO Bonds while having no direct evidence that he used steroids, has quite a few indications that he has. There may not be a smoking gun, but there's alot of smoke. Where there's smoke there's fire. He came back from an elbow injury gaining way too much muscle. He had never hit over 50 homers in a season, but all of a sudden hits them with more regularity than anyone in baseball history. Nobody in the history of baseball has ever gotten better at baseball after 35.
Add to that he is a world class jerk. He pulled out the big race trump card to explain why some did not want to pass Ruth. Barry, you haven't faced one tenth of one percent of what Hank Aaron had to go thru, and you couldn't carry his jock strap. There is no way Bonds could be in the same room as Aaron and standing beside his godfather Willy Mays, and look Aaron directly in the eyes to tell him he did not cheat to break the record.

What do you know, he's breaking down like McGwire did.

I don't know of anyone who does like baseball who wants to see him break the record.

I don't care if he does or not, really. Records are meant to be broken. I'd much rather see a Royal break it. haha.

I, in all seriousness, do not know a baseball fan who is positive on Bonds or wants him to get the 'record'. It cuts pretty evenly between serious baseball fans, causual fans, or even non fans, I think.

It's all tainted now, who cares.

I guess i'm a casual fan. In my experience, the non-fans are the ones who keep talking about "astericks" and how he shouldn't get the record.

Every non-casual fan I know would say it too, including myself.
