that's not the odd thing.

quoting quickly from ESPN:


WHAT THE HELL?? Can you REALLY be that lucky?

That's some good karma. I applaud the guy for returning the 660 ball to Bonds and giving up potentially a big amount of money. Not many people would have done that. And it shows that a good deed does NOT go unrewarded...

but still...660 AND 661? Man...

He does have his little boat out there in the same spot. It'd be weirder if Bonds hit two homers to the arcade seats, like where the fight for #73 happened.

I hate that guy. A true testament to the power of roids. I hope he never reaches Babe let alone Aaron. :

You can prove nothing. Making false accusations like this is bull****. And even if he did take them, he certainly would not be the only one in the league by all accounts, and yet he's still hitting head and shoulder's above everybody else.

You're right, I can't prove it. However that does not make it false! Using a little mosaic theory, I'm willing to believe that he is a user. Believe what you want but try not to be too naive.

And again you're right in him not being the only user out there. Roid abuse has clearly been an epidemic among baseball players. I think right now it is not as bad as last year as many player know that the jig is up - see Giambi (another BALCO customer) dropping like 30 lbs this offseason.

And yes, he is a better hitter than almost anyone in the game but that does not remove the cloud that covers what he has done.

And if you want you can discount what I've said as I clearly don't like the guy. I've watched baseball for many years and have a deep respect for the game. That means I have very little tolerance for players that stand there and gawk at their homeruns showing up pitchers. I also have little tolerance for players that act as though getting walked is an affront to their manhood. I rather they just take their base without all the theatrics. And of course being armor plated while hitting doesn't hurt either. Yes, Barry is great. You know it. I know it. I just wish Barry didn't know.

He needs 2-1/2 year averaging 35 homers to reach Hank's record but I don't think he has that much left in his tank for it.
