Bonds just hit 714

[General]

Yeah, just about.

[redsfan28]

Now that he's tied Ruth. He just needs one more in order to GO AWAY FOREVER!!!

[GiantsFanatic]

porter dont even bother arguing with these people, there bunch of hypocrite and prejudice b******

[BaseballFanatic]

Do you know what hypocrite even mean?

Last time I checked, I'm not on steroids, and I never hit homerun #714.

[GiantsFanatic]

i do know what it means

last time i checked you guys are the ones who criticize bonds for something thats not even true

but you guys wont criticize ruth for the crap he did

[redsfan28]

Bonds is the one that is prejudiced. The whole "McGwire gets away with things because he's a white boy" blast seems a little prejudiced to me. Of course, that could have come from Roid Rage.

Him going away will be the best thing to happen to MLB!

[love_that_reefer]

Blah, blah, blah! You guys are like ****ing broken records!!! Ghetto comes in with his Bonds bashing and somehow ties Griffey in this mess! A broken record!!!! By the way they were in Oakland, not SF! Then the cheating shit comes about! Guess what assholes, there is nothing we can do about it!! Til something does happen, TOUGH SHIT!!

The A's and A's fan showed a lot of class yesterday and it was a good moment. Good things!

[HollywoodLeo]

because im getting sick and tired of ignorant people calling bonds a cheater, when they have no ividence to back up/prove there arguement and he was the who brought up ruth, and said bonds doesn't deserve it, and ruth did

and i basically wrote and did a minor compasism of what bonds/aaron went through and what ruth didn't have to go through

I still fail to see what race has to do with any of this.

you want to argue that he has no grounds to call Bonds a cheater that's fine, but race has nothing to do with it.

And please don't come back to inform me that there are racisits in this world, of course there are. But the overwhelming majority of the crowd that hates Bonds hate him for nothing to do with race, and it really irks me when people have to pull the race card when race has nothing to do with the situation.

[HollywoodLeo]

Personally, I think Bonds is on roids.

But, I also think half of MLB for over a decade was on the stuff, so I don't really single out Bonds as much as others do.

Furthermore i'm willing to admit that that's just my educated opinion and that I realize I have no real proof.

[GiantsFanatic]

why didn't mcgwire get the same treatment as bonds gets then? let me guess because he's white

[ATLien]

Congrat's Barry.

[HollywoodLeo]

why didn't mcgwire get the same treatment as bonds gets then? let me guess because he's white

2 reasons.

1) Steroids weren't in the spotlight at the time
2) McGwire's not a racist dick. (Yes I said racist)

Let me ask you a question. Why didn't Sammy Sosa get the same treatment as Bonds? It's certainly not because he's white...

[GiantsFanatic]

yeah yeah same old excuses, when he admitted of taking a drug

sosa was like robin, right behind batman, he was in the shadow, while mcgwire got majority of the credit that year

[ATLien]

I wanted to see Barry break Babe's record, but there ain't no chance he is going to play long enough to pass Hank Aaron. Look how long it took him to get this one. No way.

[HollywoodLeo]

McGwire got more of the attention because he was in the lead. It tends to happen that way when you lead the pack.

Listen, i'm pretty much with you on your main argument, but when you bring race into a non race issue you're just making yourself look foolish.
Just because you're a Giants fan does not mean you have to support everything that comes out of Bonds' mouth.

And one more thing. I guaran-damn-tee you that if steroids and suspicion of everyone being on them had arose in the mid-to-late 90s, vice when it did, McGwire would've recieved just as much heat as Bonds does these days.

Nobody hated Bonds in the late 90s, they just didn't give him as much attention and he got but sore over it.
