Remember A Rod..............Just a pinch between your cheek and your gums..............

Remember A-Rod...when you sign your new 5 year, $150 million contract extension...I recommend a diversified portfolio. You should have holdings in commercial real estate...tax free municiples...domestic growth stocks...precious metals...and emerging market funds. If you'd like, I can refer you to my investment advisors.

Barry Bonds got 756 tonight in his hometeam ballpark. He is the home run record holder.

ESPN - Time has come: Bonds cracks home run No. 756 - MLB

Oh well.

As if we care. He may have the most homeruns, but he ain't gonna be the homerun king.

Willie Mays was there in person. Hank Aaron had a canned video response shown on the jumbotron. The question is when was that taped??? Bud issued a statement and called him at the park.

The insult however was last Saturday when Selig called A-Rod on Saturday to congratulate him for hitting 500 but only stood up at the game in SF on Saturday when Barry tied it. He never spoke to Bonds personally in any of the games he attended

I thought I would be disgusted at watching Bonds hit that 756 long ball. I watched it live last night, and surprisingly enjoyed it. The whole thing felt wrong, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the TV. I still dislike his attitude as a person, he’s big headed, owes nothing to anyone, and it’s all about Barry.

Everyone knows he juiced, and if you still have a doubt take your blinders off. There’s only one thing I hate more than Barry Bonds arrogant %%%%%, and that’s the ‘argument people’. I lump this group all together as a bunch of half minded morons. Their argument is all around the same, some may vary depending on knowledge of the sport. Let me see if I can word this right so people know what group I’m talking about. This is what you have likely herd, or will hear the next couple of days: “Steroids or no steroids you still have to be able to stand in the box and hit those pitches, that takes God given talent, hard work and consistently. He is a great athlete”. (Other more ‘knowledgeable’ fans would now say, and I quote: “pitchers juice more than all other athletes in pro sports combined. Level field in my opinion.”)

I don’t really see why these ‘people’ feel the need to stickup for Barry. They might just do it for argument sake, and that just human nature, we are always right…Aren’t we?

There are not many other things in sports that compare to the greatness of hitting the long ball. You against the pitcher, your team isn’t helping you, and all your manager can do it give you a few signs. It’s like you against the world, you determine the outcome. Like I said, not many other situations in sports compare to you against the pitcher in the 9th with 2 outs when you’re down by 1.

A cheater is a cheater, whether you are willing to admit that Barry gave himself a clear advantage or not.

Like a great comedian says at the end of a rant – This is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

If you can go onto this link and scroll down a little, you can see some of Bonds' memorable homers through the years not to mention his ever-changing physique.

Gotta disagree about the argument people.

Steroids do not enable you to make contact with ball. Steroids may increase your power and endurance, but the mental game, patience in the batters box, and incredible hand eye co-ordination probably don't benefit from "the Clear".

Who cares if Barry is the record holder or not.

As Jim Leyland recently said on the radio, if this guy was a media darling, we would be appreciating him as one of the greatest players of all time. Instead he's become the poster boy for steroids when numerous players (including pitchers) have been juicing throughout this era.

Baseball is a sport with a long history of cheaters. There have been cheaters in every era, and many HOFers were known cheaters. It's not unique to this era, and it's not unique to Bonds. One can only guess how many legends of the game might have been exposed if there was the media and internet coverage, as well as the scientific testing that today's athletes face, in their era.

Seem like exactly what you need to become the Home Run king doesn't it?
