As one sportswriter said, "Barry Bonds is the best player in baseball. If you don't believe it, just ask him - he'll tell you."

PETA alert: Bonds takes blasphemous swing at Babe

Bonds is NOT the most arrogant player in baseball!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Babe did beeroids...Bonds does steroids.

How's your pitching Barry? You ever take the mound?

Bonda has something in common with the Babe, he is trying to reach Babe's mark before the steroids do him him. And the Babe did his on alcohol, food and cigs.

How's your pitching, Barry? You ever take the mound?

You allude to the fact that Ruth could have made the Hall as a pitcher, if he had stayed with it. He was one of the top pitchers in the game for his first few seasons, before his hitting became too valuable to keep him out of the everyday lineup.

There is no question that the Bambino is the greatest baseball player ever. The author of the article rightly shows how much Ruth was ahead of the pack, by the statistical standards of his own era. No one before or since has ever come close to duplicating that dominance.

I forgot the game was tonight until I started FREEPIN. Geesh I'm gettin old.

[Lancey Howard]

"As a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That's it," Bonds brayed Monday. "And in the baseball world, Babe Ruth's everything, right? I got his slugging percentage, and I'll take his home runs and that's it. Don't talk about him no more."

Okay, big-mouth - - let's talk about how many home runs Ruth would have hit if he was blown up on steroids like you. More than you could ever dream of, big-mouth. That's it.

[boycott]

It's trash punks like Bonds that are RUINING sports. I used to follow sports far more. Now I am sick of the bs.

[Az Joe]

Plus Bonds can't play the field. That and his rotten personality should deny him a first ballot vote into the Hall. Screw him.

And, Barry, you certainly have surpassed "The Babe" as an uneducated sloth.

Beautiful retort!!
