Wow, I'm sure his wife isn't thrilled with all the girl friend stories in the media. But maybe he actually has a soul and knows he's a sham and doesn't want to break Aaron's record (This probably should be in green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 A dejected Barry Bonds said Tuesday that there's a chance he might not return this season because of multiple knee surgeries. "Right now I'm just going to try to rehab myself back to, I don't know, hopefully next season, hopefully middle of the season. I don't know," Bonds said. "Right now I'm just gonna take things slow. I feel bad for the guys because I want to be out there for them." When asked directly if he said he might not be back until mid-season or next season, Bonds answered, "Maybe. I told you that before I left, remember? You thought I was joking." Bonds arrived on crutches at spring camp Tuesday, bringing his son, Nikolai, to meet with members of the media. While Bonds was defiant and confrontational during his first press conference of the spring Feb. 22, he was despondent Tuesday, using the word "tired" 14 times during his approximate 10-minutes session. "I really don't have much to say anymore," Bonds said. "My son and I just going to enjoy life. My family's tired. You guys [the media] wanted to hurt me bad enough, you finally got there. "You wanted me to jump off the bridge, I finally have jumped. You wanted the bring me down, you've finally brought me and my family down. Finally done it. From everybody, all of you. So now go pick a different person. I'm done. Do the best I can, that's about it." Asked if there was something specific he was talking about Bonds said, "Inner hurt, physical, mentally. Done. I'm mentally drained. I'm tired of my kids crying. Tired" Bonds originally underwent knee surgery on Jan. 31. Four days later he accidentally hit his knee on a table at SBC Park in San Francisco and the knee had periods of swelling. An MRI last week revealed further tears in the knee. Conte said there was no way of knowing whether the incident on Feb. 4 caused further damage. "And we don't care," Conte said. "We're starting with a clean slate. We'll try to get it right." Bonds begins the season third on the career homers list with 703, trailing Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I personally think he started juicing in '99 when he got hurt. He needed a little something for his come back and that's why he went up to 49 HRs and the next year 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you know steroids cause mood swings....So by allowing steroids to infiltrate the game you have to allow all of the of the things that go along with it... Apparently lots of whining and b****ing...case in point, McGwire Bonds and everyones buddy Sammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 This really hurts the Giants. His presence in the lineup completely alters the game. Unless there's a stud outfield prospect in the their system, Sabean may need to initiate a trade. Everett anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's a stud outfield prospect in the their system, Sabean may need to initiate a trade. Everett anyone? And when you look at the guys that they signed in the off season, there could be an easy scenario where they lose 100 games. They signed Alou and Vizquel who are both almost 40, and have had some real injury problems, plus their ace is Jason Schmidt who has had his own earlier injury problems. They have a couple of pitchers coming off of serious injuries, and they have some injury prone regulars on top of it all. This could be a disaster by the bay this year.

aboz56 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Perhaps since Bonds can no longer use, he is afraid his numbers are going to drop substantially now and prefers to go out with a great season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that his ego drives him and if he thinks he can no longer perform up to "Bonds" standards, he may choose to never play again rather than go out struggling. I never said he wouldn't be a hall of famer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
