Re: Bonds' new record

When Barry hit his 734th HR against the Brewers (another NL record) it got zero national media play too.  Such is the life of Barry Lamar Bonds.  They will however be unable to ignore 756 and it is happening in June!

Re: Bonds' new record

Would you mind sharing with us how you know Barry will break the record in June?  Did the home run fairy visit you last night and leave the date under your pillow?  :)

Re: Bonds' new record

I have late August/early September in the unofficial BLB 756 HR pool. We have the Rockies at home for a series. If Byung Hyun Kim is in the rotation I say he's the one to give it up.

Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they're fascist. Not boring: Emmanuel Burriss. Not fascist: SF Dugout

I'm going for 6/22 during the Yankees series off Rivera. Dreaming big!

Re: Bonds' new record

hey hey hey. No need to call the guy a fairy because he's optimistic about Bonds breaking the record quickly. If Ray Durham keeps getting RBI hits behind Bonds' intentional walks, this guy just might wind up being right.

Re: Bonds' new record

Since Bud gutted the league offices and merged the two leagues into one corporate entity, along with instituting interleague play, NL and AL-only records have lost most of their significance and interest.

When Barry Bonds hit that towering home run in Yankee Stadium a few years back, was that an AL home run or an NL home run?  He's an NL player, yes.  But it was a game played at an AL park using AL rules!  So really, it should be an AL home run for Barry.  Only he's under contract to an NL team.  So...aw just forget it.

Just blame Bud.

Good point.

The game's greatest power hitter...

...who also navigated his butt around the bases to score the most runs in league history, in a totally off-the-hook career performance. Just about dwarfs anything else you want to bring into the conversation.

Where is the parallel? There is none.
