I want him to pass Aaron now. I don't want any potential apologists saying "well it's not like he holds the record for career homers, let's just let the matter go away quietly." If he passes Aaron, baseball has to act. Both Ruth and Aaron deserve better than allowing Barry the cheat's records to stand.

Bonds is a punk. Without steroids, he would never have broken 300. The only good news is that he will never get a World Series ring and hopefully his records will be revised or at least astericked.

I thought the comment they made during the live Yankees-Mets coverage on this was an absolute classic (I think it was Tim McCarver who said something along these lines):

"In all my years in baseball I never could have imagined how anti-climactic it would be when someone tied Ruth's career home run total. Look at that clip of the home run we just saw on FOX . . . IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WERE JUST ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT CLIP FROM A MAJOR LEAGUE GAME TODAY."

Now how many more games has it taken Bonds to tie Ruth steroids and all? More than 200,I believe.
