Mets Should Go After Bonds


The all-time home-run leader is still out there and wants to play. The Mets are in dire need of an outfielder and some offense. Bonds provides both.

Barry Bonds To Tampa Bay?


Certainly an interesting rumor and it definitely couldn't hurt Tampa Bay's chances of winning the AL East. But seriously, the bigger question would be whether or not Bonds would want to play for a team he has no chance of winning a championship with.

Will They Go After Roger Clemens Like They Have Bonds?


Now that the 'roids list is out, will the white-run sports media go after Roger Clemens with the same passion they have Barry Bonds? I doubt it.

Bonds Indicted, Could Face 30 Years


Of course, there's a rush by the sports media to convict Bonds even though he hasn't been found guilty of anything. That has all to do with Bonds personality which the media likens to that of a troll. But it stinks of hypocrisy if Bonds is the only athlete going to the big house for Baseball's "steroid era". Anyone else remember Rafael Palmeiro's big fib in front of Congress, or for that matter Mark McGuire admitting using those Andro pills? Regardless of the outcome to all of this you just know that it'll cost him the Hall of Fame.

Bonds and Giants Together No More


Well, it's official. Barry Bonds won't be finishing his career in a Giants uniform. I know that he still wants to get to 3,000 hits and play with the chance for that ever elusive championship ring, so if Moises Alou retires at the end of this year, the Mets should certainly take a look. But in all likelihood he'll end up playing DH in the American League, so wouldn't it be cool too see Bonds play a season in Fenway what with that wall?

Floyd Landis Loses Tour de France Title


Barry Bonds has served as the face of steroids in sports mostly because he was chasing Henry Aaron's all-time HR record (or so the media has claimed), not because of his race or his relationship with scribes over the years. Well now that Bonds has broken the record and there's no concrete evidence that Bonds ever willingly used steroids, will Floyd Landis, who has shamed his sport beyond belief, get half the attention for using steroids as Bonds has gotten?
I highly doubt it.

Barry Bonds Ties Hank Aaron


One swing away.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Barry Bonds swung, took a half-dozen steps and clapped his hands. With no trace of a smile but a strong shot for all the doubters, he caught Hank Aaron and tied the career home run record Saturday night.

No. 755 was an opposite-field drive to left field, moving Bonds within one swing of having baseball's pinnacle of power all to himself.

Commissioner Bud Selig stood up and put his hands in his pockets while Bonds' family hugged and high-fived. When Bonds crossed the plate, he lifted his batboy son, Nikolai, and carried him several steps in an embrace.

The Petco Park crowd stood and cheered, with some boos mixed in, when the San Francisco slugger homered off Clay Hensley in the second inning. Several fans held up asterisk signs.

Barry Bonds ex-Mistress To Pose For Playboy


Well, she has average looks at best, but doesn't mean that her bod isn't dope. Plus, Playboy is a master at airbrushing so she should be fine. Can't blame her for banking in on her 15 minutes either.

0-Fer-20 Bonds Sits With Fatigued Legs



The guy is so great that sometimes we forget that he's approaching 43 and playing in the league that doesn't have a DH. With that said give him all the rest he needs.

Bonds Will Start In All-Star Game


Forget the fact that this could be his last season (thus making him deserve a start on merit alone), Bonds stats this season warrant him starting the game.

What If Barry Just Opts Out Before 755?


Putting aside all the steroid allegations (and that's all they are in my book: allegations, yunno, innocent until proven guilty and all), with the San Francisco Giants on their way to yet another abysmal season, thus, him having no hope of getting that ever elusive World Series ring anyway, what if Barry got to 754 and just decided to quit? I mean, it's not like he needs to stay in it for the money, he's going to the Hall of Fame anyway and he'll have the single-season record (and many others) for quite awhile. Considering all that Hank Aaron went through getting to 715, to me, the record just belongs to him and for that reason alone, Bonds would be doing the right thing if he decided to just walk away before 755.

Curt Schilling Disses Barry Bonds


Schilling's well-known for having a big mouth, but this is pretty harsh stuff. This should make the Giants visit to Fenway Park later this year very, very interesting.

75% Of Blacks Support Bonds


Interesting poll done by ABC and ESPN on Barry Bonds, steroids and fan reaction to his soon breaking Hank Aaron's all-time home-run record. Personally, I've never bought into Bonds knowingly doing steroids, but I still wish he had stayed retired only because to me the record should always belong to Hammerin' Hank.
