"Bonds Hits No. 713, Moves Within One Of Ruth" Without steroids he'd chasing Dave Winfield's 465 home runs, at best. What Bond's is doing is dumber than cheating at solitaire; at least with solitaire he'd be the only one who knew. The man is shameless.

Meanwhile, the Giants are in last place in the division, Moises Alou's hurt, the ERA is the worst in the league, and we're staring a 5 game deficit straight in the face. Yup. This season, once again, we need only watch one batter the entire lineup, then go do something else for 45 minutes until he comes to the plate again.

Also, compare their pitching stats! Heh heh heh...

In the 1918 World Series vs the Chicago Cubs, Babe Ruth hurled a 6-hit shutout in Game 1. In Game 4, the Cubs scored their first run in the 8th inning to break Ruth's record string of 29 1/3 scoreless innings. Ruth's mark stood until 1961 when Whitey Ford broke it. Babe was also a pitcher... how many strikeouts does bonds have?
To: stillonaroll
123. His best season he had 17. He was fast in the early years, but obviously nothing like Bonds in that department!

Thanks Echo. I was about to make that point.

The Babe was on the juice some of the time but it wasn't steroids.

Ruth was one of the very best left-handed pitchers in baseball at the time - when pitchers dominated the game. He still has one of the best winning percentages all time.

The last place in the weakest division sucks big time. The Giants should have traded Bonds last season and gotten focused on winning the pendant.

16 included no stats, 13 was (500 even?) most likely incorrect. your not a little biased now are you?

Babe was also a pitcher... how many strikeouts does bonds have? In my opinion, Ruth was the greatest all-around player in the games history. No one else has mastered the games two most important skills: hitting and pitching.
Note that Bonds was an excellent fielder in earlier years, as he often turned opponents doubles into singles.
To: stillonaroll; kinoxi
Oh yeah, and Ruth was 94 - 46 as a pitcher (his .671 winning % is 12th on the all-time list).
...and his lifetime ERA is 2.27 (15th all-time).
Bonds was a better base stealer, you say? lol....ok, we'll give the pathetic junkie that stat.

The question in 16 was how many black/Latin pitchers Ruth faced, and the answer is zero. Bonds has faced many. Its 506 steals.
