Why do the idiots who know we hate Bonds for cheating, also think we somehow like Shawn Merriman. Are you that retarded? They are both scumbag cheaters.

btw, to all the people thinking it's a given that arod breaks the record: dream on. bonds is holding this for a long while.

I'll take 15-1 ARod breaks it, up to $10k of my risk.

[/ QUOTE ]

Arod isn't a 15/1 dog to break it, but he is an underdog to small favorite

if Bonds is a cheater, Hank Aaron is a cheater

why would it bother anyone for one "cheater" to break another "cheater's" record

I'd give +120 to you if you want ARod to pass Barry at some point.

I'd also take +1500 if anyone wants to take Naj up.

No way he is a favorite to end his career with the record. He also has way better then a 15-1 shot at breaking it. I'd put it at like 3-1.

I guess there was already a thread on this but I'd have to say it is well better than 3:1. Obviously it depends on how long Bonds drags his career out, but you'd have to think that once A-Rod gets to 700-725, he'll put through the necessary time to crank out the remaining.

Except he half admitted it about 7 times when it was clear he was flat-out lying. He is scum.

LMAO at your take on this compared to your take on Barry.

From what little I've read, it seems like Thayer and kyleb just love to play devil's advocate on this Bonds thing. They are wise in the way of baseball, and can't stand to share the same anti-Barry sentiment that the media is telling Joe Six Pack in Des Moines that he should feel. So they adopt a stance that would make Skip Bayless blush and which they almost certainly don't really believe. IOW, I think Thayer and kyleb are smarter than they're coming off here.

Also, you Barry-lovers trying to defend his character with quotes and stuff is LOL. Guess what, if you want to like him, go ahead! That's up to you, but don't try to make the rest of us like him.

I have a good friend who played with Barry at ASU, and some other semi-friends that I see on an annual golf trip that played with him too. He was so hated by his teammates that at one point they voted unanimously to kick him off the team but Jim Brock was like "LOL, no". And I seriously doubt jealousy was in play relative to the level of their disdain. He was the best player on the team, he was the son of Bobby Bonds, but he was also a huge dick.
