    Does The Dan Harren Trade Mean No Barry Bonds Acquisition?
    2007-12-15 23:06:46
    We have previously talked about the chances of Bonds coming to Oakland here. A lot of people argued that if Harren was traded then it would be a slim chance Bonds will get signed. Well a couple days ago Harren in fact was traded. The A’s will be using the trade to [...]

    Barry Bonds is a Liar
    2007-11-16 08:55:00
    "NOVEMBER 15--Baseball star Barry Bonds was indicted today on perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from a years-long federal probe that examined his alleged use of steroids."So Barry finally caught it in the ass - did he really think the feds were going to let him off the hook?How do I feel about all this? I'm not going to giggle gleefully over Barry more than likely going to jail or having his records wiped out; it makes me sad that there are players out there who have such an over-inflated sense of ego and worth that they have to do stuff like steroids. They get to play a great game, get paid well to do it and those things are simply not enough?Hopefully, this investigation will help bring the end to the "Steroid Era" but not the end of cheating. Barry himself is well on his way to the Shoeless Joe Jackson version of baseball immortality.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/naOQ

    Barry Bonds Indicted for Perjury
    2007-11-16 04:22:00
    Barry Bonds, the former San Francisco Giant who broke Hank Aaron’s 755 home run record last year and hitting a career total 762 home runs, was indicted on Thursday on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. Bonds is accused of lying under oath before a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied using banned drugs. The indictment states that Bonds lied when he stated under

    Barry Bonds Has Nothing To Do With Hockey At All
    2007-11-15 17:31:00
    But I'll be damned if I don't get in on the Google search orgy that will ensue from his announced indictment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. Not that this surprises anyone, of course, but it sure is big news on ESPN and just about every other news outlet in the country. And we all know how much Bonds really likes the press to begin with. I bet he's loving all this free publicity.Anyway, he has nothing to do with hockey except maybe having a larger head than Mark Messier. But just barely.

    Barry Bonds and his Home Run Record
    2007-08-11 06:02:36
    Listen, I don’t really care about the home run race nor do I give a crap about Barry Bonds and his steroid case. If you look at the facts of the case - which is, admittedly, still pending - it’s obvious that this man took “performance enhancing drugs.” Just look at the before [...]

    Barry Bonds Home Run Ball Bedlam + His Other Mode of Cheating
    2007-08-08 21:08:34
    Known steroid user Barry Bonds last night broke Henry Aaron’s all-time career home run record, whacking number 756 in front of the home crowd at AT&T Ballpark (formerly Pac Bell Park and SBC Park). The festivities that followed were not limited to the field, however, as a mad mob broke out in the bleachers, everyone trying [...]

    I Recognize Barry Bonds’ Accomplishment
    2007-08-08 19:46:12
    Just to put things into perspective… Ironically, Bonds’ first homer was hit on June 4, 1986, against the Braves at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium more than 12 years after Aaron hit his record-breaking shot into the left-field bullpen in the same now-defunct ballpark. Bonds now holds the record for most homers in a career, most in a single [...]

    Barry Bonds is the Worst Kind of Cheater
    2007-08-08 18:11:54
    Now that he has broken Hank Aaron’s legendary homerun record, it is time for me to do a cathartic exercise and write about my thoughts on Barry Bonds. But before I explain my reasoning as to why I believe Bonds is the worst kind of cheater, I should first establish why I indubitably believe he [...]

    Defending Barry Bonds for Idiots
    2007-08-07 03:36:40
    Everyone at this point must be a little tired of hearing about Bonds chasing Mays, chasing Ruth, chasing Aaron, and now finally hitting number 755. Nonetheless, since the feat occurred just this weekend, I suppose we can entertain a few more opinions, right? There are certainly a lot of players who refuse to credit Bonds' accomplishments. Since I'm on their side, I won't bother posting their opinions, but rather, I'll post the silly ones—the ones who try to invent some sort of twisted logic to allow them to support Bonds. First up, Andruw Jones:For Andruw Jones, all the talk about Barry Bonds and drug use isn't an issue. "It doesn't matter," the Atlanta Braves star said Sunday. "There's a lot of people that take steroids, and they don't hit 755 home runs."We've all probably heard this argument a few times, and its logic never ceases to escape me. We're talking about Bonds passing Hank Aaron here, so is it relevant that "a lot of people take steroids?" I'm pretty sure Hank

    A Letter to Barry Bonds
    2007-07-31 23:36:00
    Dear Mr. Bonds,I hear you're on the fast track to beating Hank Aaron's home run record. Although the media insists you shouldn't get any credit because your success is due to illegal steroid use, I earnestly applaud you in your pursuit of this record.How gutsy to not only make light of America's National Pastime, but to then yank from his pedestal one of the scrappiest players of all time, Hank Aaron. Aaron was too good to be true. African American, from a tiny town in the south, raised in poverty, learning how to play baseball with sticks, Americans are sick of these self-made-man stories. We want someone we can relate to. We want someone who knows how to beat the system. We want someone who throws tradition aside and takes what they want, to hell with the casualties. Nobody wants to see a clean fight anymore. Barry, I applaud you for taking a folding chair to Aaron's record. Now just go for that final low blow and glory will be yours forever.I hear fans have all kinds of tricks

    Barry Bonds, All-Star?
    2007-06-24 16:15:00
    Should Barry Bonds be an All-Star?Of course.I despise Bonds, and I find it hard to stomach that at some point this season he will pass Hank Aaron to become baseball's all-time home run leader.Yet, if he isn't voted in as a starter (he's fourth in votes among NL outfielders in the last tally released) he has to be named to the team as a reserve.There are lots of reasons why. The game is, of course, in San Francisco and Bonds is the player fans will want to see. There is also the home run chase. On a personal level, I'd love to see baseball slight Bonds and leave him home. I don't think Bud Selig can do that, however, without turning the game into a joke and making himself look bad.The biggest reason Bonds has to be on this team, though? Every team has to be represented, and Bonds is still far and away San Francisco's best player.Go ahead, try to make a case for somebody else. Bengie Molina (.291, 7 HR, 38 RBI)? Matt Morris (7-4, 3.39 ERA)? Randy Winn (.292, 5 HR, 23RBI)?Please. Gi

    Barry Bonds Stadium Security

    Here is an interesting article by ESPN about the security for Barry bonds. Bonds Security I’ve always in the back of my mind wondered about this. I’m sure many others have wondered about this too. I don’t think even barry goes out much these days now that he is closing in on the record. I’m [...]

    Barry Bonds Homerun #747 helps win game
    2007-06-12 06:47:03
    As Bonds was going through his second home run drought of the season he finally launched homerun #747 into center field when the giants were behind 3-1 for a 2 run homer to tie the game 3-3. The giants then took the lead 4-3 in the game and won it. I was going to [...]

    Barry Bonds hits homerun #746 to end “streak”
    2007-05-28 01:52:21
    Well the giants in the end didn’t get a win as they went into the 10th inning to lose 6 to 4. Barry gave a very balanced swing early in the game for a popup near the warning track and you had a feeling that he was “back” in his groove again. The next [...]

    With one stroke of the bat last night he led the entire National League in home runs and was 2nd in the Major leagues to hit #745. His slugging and On Base Percentage are through the roof too. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all even though its been more then [...]

    Barry Bonds - Unbelievable

    Barry Bonds, Kindergarten and the Just Say No Commercials
    2007-01-12 17:44:47
    In response to the scores of inquiries I’ve received about Barry Bonds, since I was a long time San Francisco resident, and visited the beautiful Pac Bell Ball Park a number of times, I figured I’d weigh in on the most recent news about Barry Bonds’ difficulties with, well, let’s call it “The Kindergarten Lesson Manual.”  The way I see it, through kindergarten Barry was already dreaming about home runs and shoestring catches, so he missed a few things.  So I’d like to provide a brief review of these basic rules for the benefit of Ol’ Bashin’ Barry, as a kind and thoughtful public service. 1.  Don’t steal.  Bonds said that a recent amphetamine test failure had to do with the fact that he took something out of teammate Mark Sweeney’s locker, though he did not know what it was.  2.  Don’t lie.  I don’t think we need to go into detail here. 3.  (This is the most important one) Don’t give in to peer
