KFDM COOP Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Bonds homers, moves within one of Aaron's record SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds hit his 754th career home run Friday night, moving within one of tying Hank Aaron's record. Bonds sent a 2-1 pitch from Rick Vanden Hurk over the wall in left-center in the first inning against the Florida Marlins, giving the Giants a 2-1 lead on his 20th homer of the season. The 43-year-old Bonds connected off his 444th pitcher - the first hailing from the Netherlands. Bonds had gone homerless in five games he played and 18 at-bats since he connected twice against the Chicago Cubs on July 19 at Wrigley Field. Bonds had been 3-for-18 since his previous homer. A ``Road to History'' tribute played on the main center-field scoreboard with a greeting from Michael Jordan. Bonds reached 20 home runs for the 19th time in his 22-year career.
JohnnyT60 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Really disgraceful, that one of the most hallowed records in baseball is going to be broken by a cheater. What's his hat size? It was 7 1/4 as a rookie, it's now an 8.
trout Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Curt Schilling said and I quote Bonds cheated on his wife, he cheated on his taxes and he cheated in baseball enough said
adminbaberuth Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 He's coming up in a few minutes, 0-2 so far.
AJ25 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 although i'm pretty positive that he cheated with steroids, i'm not going to believe it all the way until he fails a drug test. and that he has never done. and you know that he has probably been tested more than any other guy in the MLB!
RonBurgundy68 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 I completely agree, until i see Bonds fail a drug test, I cant wait for him to break the record! Go Barry!
venom33 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 I agree, he has yet to test positive for anything. I hope he crushes this record,he deserves it...Actually johnny I think the needle goes in you hip not your arm,but whatever.
venom33 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Really disgraceful, that one of the most hallowed records in baseball is going to be broken by a cheater. What's his hat size? It was 7 1/4 as a rookie, it's now an 8.So, what does that mean????Thats your proof,he wears a bigger hat? thats weak!!!!!Dude,why do you hate Bonds so much and what exactly is disgraceful about him smashing this record??
Kryptonite proof Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 He may not have tested positive but he has admited to using the "clear" he said he thought that it was flax seed oil. So how long was he "confused". When he breaks the record there will be ALOT of mixed feelings. but i think he will only have it for 7-8 years and then A-Rod will break it. Either way its a tremendous achievement. Cheater or not he hit alot of home runs. I just wish it was someone else instead of him
venom33 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 Its ok to get bigger and better as your career progresses, thats a good thing. And roids or not they dont improve your hand eye coordination,you still have to have the ability to hit a baseball.
JohnnyT60 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 So, what does that mean????Thats your proof,he wears a bigger hat? thats weak!!!!!Dude,why do you hate Bonds so much and what exactly is disgraceful about him smashing this record?? It's not weak, you're head doesn't grow naturally. Steroids however will make your head grow like a melon. Are you saying you doubt he has taken roids? Come on you don't even have a doubt about that. BTW they will help you catch up to that inside fastball hand-eye coordination or not.
venom33 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 guess on certain counts as to whats coming,weightlifting,spending time practicing on that one aspect, gaining knowledge of the league and how certain pitchers have pitched you in the past with certain counts,etc,etc, all these things help with the inside fastball. c'mon man come with something that makes just a little sense instead of these weak arguements.
AJ25 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 regardless of whether he took steroids or not, that still doesn't help you hit a friggin baseball.. lol
JohnnyT60 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Posted July 29, 2007 You don't think steroids helped? C'mon!!!!!I would say Ben Johson would say it helped with explosion, which is exactly what a swing is.
venom33 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 You don't think steroids helped? C'mon!!!!!I would say Ben Johson would say it helped with explosion, which is exactly what a swing is.You do need explosion on your swing,BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO PUT THE BAT ON THE BALL THAT IS COMING AT YOU SOMETIMES AT OVER 90-100 MPH OR A BALL THAT LOOKS STRAIGHT THEN DROPS.ROIDS MIGHT HELP WITH STRENGTH BUT IT DOESNT IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO HIT A ROUND OBJECT WITH A ROUND OBJECT FLUSH.
JohnnyT60 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 How about farther? Would it help say 15-20 warning track balls a year get into the stands?
venom33 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 ok,lets say 15-20 pitchers who struck him out per year were using performance enhancing drugs that added a little more break or 5-10 mph more on their fastball... this could go on and on and on.

Lat I heard, none of them were mentioned in Grand Jury precedings. But obviously we will have to agree to disagree.
