I guess the Clomid and cow steroids are working again!

The San Francisco Giants' slugger hit a mammoth shot in the sixth inning off Philadelphia right-hander Jon Lieber, sending a 2-1 pitch off the steroid advertisement on the facade of the right-field upper deck during a 9-5 loss to the Phillies.

Maybe it also has something to do with allegations of steroid use by Bonds and baseball's probe into whether he took performance-enhancing drugs. <

Yep, this is all void. He doesn't deserve any ovations for the home runs he cranks.

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. Strange as it seems, Barry is the tip of the iceberg right now.

As a Giants fan, it sucks to be us most of the time, but it just sucks worse tonight. :(

*Sigh* Go Giants, I guess.

If I were the one to catch the ball that Bonds hits to break the record, I would announce that bidding starts now to see who wants the honor of dropping the ball into a shredder.

How many black or Latin pitchers did Babe Ruth face in his career?

"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.

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

So? Babe Ruth was on the juice and Barry Bonds was juiced?

I'm not sure if you can compare the two players. I mean really, how many candy bars named after Barry Bonds have been sold? Oh, the Baby Ruth candy bar was not named after Babe Ruth the baseball player even though most people think it was? Sorry, well, as P.T. Barnum said "There is a sucker born every minute". Geesh, P.Y. Barnum never actually said that either?

As you can see, I don't know much of anything about baseball. I just don't watch any sport that does not have cheeleaders.

For those of you that do know baseball I have two questions. One, do you think that players that have used steroids should have their records questioned? Two, should Pete Rose be allowed in the hall of fame?

Have you seen the size of this guy's head? I think that when someone's skull is large enough to warrant its own zip code, they are no longer elegable for records of any sort, except the Guinness one for largest head.

Asked what he thought of Bonds, Babe, after putting down his cigar, and stuffing the rest of his hot dog in his mouth, washing it down with beer, smiled broadly and let loose a tremendous fart.

It will never count. Bonds will be more bitter than Rose ever was...with good cause.
