Bonds just hit #755 in SD to mixed reviews by the crowd

[Bozita]

Bud Selig just stood there.

Some applause, but more boos from the crowd.

And to think that Roger Maris got an asterisk for his 61st.

[Poiuyt]

1. A very dark day for baseball

Bud Selig should never have been there.

[LiberalFighter]

5. MLB is corrupt... when the owners allowed Selig to be acting commissioner

while they were determining who would replace the previous commissioner. Selig was the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers while this was happening. I believe a family member is the current owner of the Brewers.

[Bluzmann57]

13. Bud Selig oversaw the steroid era in baseball

So yes, he should have been there to see what he helped bring about. In '98, damn near everyone was celebrating McGwire and Sammy, including me. Hell, Sosa even won MVP that year. And of course, the allegations are that he was juiced too. So since Selig likely knew and did nothing, in fact celebrated it, he should indeed be there. And whether one likes Bonds or not, he still has to actually hit the ball, one of the hardest feats in sports. One more thing, when are Clemens, Ryan, and other pitchers who are well over 40 and still throwing 90 plus going to be brought into the conversation about cheating? Clemens has a history of erratic behavior. Was (is) it 'roids? Let's find out. Ryan actually got better as he aged. Was he juiced as well? Again, let's find out. Let's leave no doubt. And let's expell Ty Cobb from the HoF. He was a vile racist and undeniably a miserable human being.

2. Bonds was a total jerk in Pittsburgh.

Plus he was half the size he is now.

[bluestateguy]

3. Um, anyway. Is Lindsay Lohan back in rehab?

[TheDebbieDee]

23. LOL ! I like the way you think, Bluestateguy.

[SunDrop23]

4. I don't have a problem with it. I think it is kinda cool.

(ducks)

[kwyjibo]

7. me too. are you automatically supposed to hate everybody

who screws up every once in a while?

[SunDrop23]

15. Looking forward to 756, hope it happens in SF. Hope he reaches 800.

It's a child's game.
I wish some of the people who are so pissed off about this game were equally pissed off about homelessness, people living without health care, the war in Iraq, etc. You know, the things that matter.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. How do you know they're not ..... ?

...... equally (or perhaps even more) pissed off about homelessness, people living without health care, the war in Iraq, etc.?

[Zhade]

21. Or lies about the "screw-up" repeatedly, and cheats into the history books?

Nah, cheaters should be applauded, apparently.

:eyes:

[Ekirh]

6. You know . .

After all the hype about Bond catching Aaaron.. I'm really not all up in a hoopla about it like I thought I would be. I guess I accepted it was inevitable and that's that.

Why did Maris get an asterisk? Was it cause he had more games than Ruth did?

[Buzz Clik]

10. More games per season.

[Ekirh]

12. Thanks for the reply n/t

[Bozita]

14. That asterisk showed in the record books for 30 years.

IIRC, it disappeared in the Age of Steroids.

[HughMoran]

8. Fuck that chemical man-freak

I hate steroid looking freaks.

[Buzz Clik]

9. Woo hoo

[CatholicEdHead]

11. Glad I missed it

It was not worth the ESPN2HD clarity.

[tularetom]

16. With all the other crap going on that you can get pissed off about

who gives a flyin fuck how many home runs Bonds hits? Is it more important than the Dems folding and giving bush new spy powers? More improtant than highways and bridges falling apart? More important than all the $ we're spending in fuckin Eyerack?

Is Bonds anymore of an immoral individual than Babe Ruth a notorious womanizer? Or Ty Cobb, a vicious racist and rule breaker?

I'll wake up the day he breaks the record, read about it in the paper and not give a fuck. Just like 1 billion Chinese.

[DavidDvorkin]

17. Who gives a flying fuck?

It's sports. People with brains ignore that crap.

[Bluebear]

18. Well, smell you! nt

[Zhade]

20. Yeah, Marion Barry Bonds did it!*

*Like the infamous mayor, he too is hopped up on illegal drugs...

Fucking CHEATER.

[Wiley50]

22. Marijuana is still Illegal, Right? YAWN n/t

[begin_within]

24. There's a movie in the works already...

[WinkyDink]

25. Is Barry Bonds the new Britney?
