if you hate bonds, you don't know anything about baseball.

I guess there aren't too many "bonds haters" in San Diego, because he received an extended standing ovation. Barry is the man.

not really kyleb, but whatever.

Bud's reaction may have actually been better then the HR. Its like he didnt know what he was watching and had to be told Barry hit it, then told to stand up..

i should rephrase: if you hate bonds because of his alleged violations of the MLB Drug Police, you don't know anything about baseball

if you don't like him because he's a jerk, then you are a sensitive nit

im willing to take an even money prop (for 50 dollars) that A-Rod's season EqA is higher than Bond's

min 115 games played (surely Bonds will play 115?) for both players or the bet is off

first recognizable poster i feel i can trust to respond gets the bet (i'd trust both thayer and JoA)

Anyone else watching his press conference? He answered a call from his daughter in the middle of some reporter's question.

Barry's the man.

Aside from Selig's non-response, my favorite part of the show was actually a commercial between innings. Basically, it was about how bad steroids are for your body long term, and it had a bunch of footballs, basketballs and such deflating. Then it ended with a line that said "if all those aren't bad enough, maybe this is" before the last one deflated or something like that. Nothing like reminding kids that steroids are going to shrink your balls at the same rate that your hat size explodes.

All of Barry's teammates seemed SO happy that he hit 755 tonight. Its almost like they just were going through the motions. That, and his effing kid was at home plate when he got there, and Barry decided to carry him halfway back to the dugout. I hope they just plunk him or walk him the rest of the season...that said, either way, we're about to witness history, so I'll just hope he plays tomorrow (yeah, right) and hits it on the road. That'll be a much better show than the phony love-fest in SF. Padres fans booing and holding up asterisk signs, good times.

Not sure what game you were watching but I heard mostly cheers. They even cheered for him when he left the game.
