Cerbaho-WG Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 http://espn.go.com/mlb/allstar03/s/2003/07...16/1581348.html "Willie's number is always the one that I've strived for," Bonds said before Tuesday's All-Star Game. "And if it does happen, the only number I care about is Babe Ruth's. Because as a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That's it. 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." Hey Barry, how about inbetween every inning or so, go grab a pitcher and drink it like the Babe, and then hit some homers. He played in the dead ball era, and you use steroids. Please, take your raisen sized testicles and shut the f*** up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Whoever still defends this guy, please read the post above He's an asshole with a capital A. He thinks he's the best player ever and i got news for him he's not. He thinks he's bigger than the game. Worst thing you could think as a baseball player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Does he have the Babe's "Hookers in one night" record? I think NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Irish Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Asshole? Yes. Arrogant? Yes. One of the greatest players in BB history? Yes. You can argue his attitude and all of that off the field crap all you want but his carreer #s don't lie. OK, lets say he is juicing, that helps him determine the strike zone? That helps him steal 500 bases? That helps him win gold gloves? As a person, f*** him. As a bb player, one of the greatset of all time. And before you go crazy, I said ONE OF!

Bonds will never be remembered for gold gloves and somewhat stolen bases because of the 500/500. But he'll be remembered for power numbers and average and stuff, and steroids has something to do with that. A career spike at 37? Please Bonds is a damn good player. Never said he wasn't. However, he'll be remembered as a big asshole because of s*** he says. Just because you are great doesn't mean you should just talk crap about the players past and don't give two s***s about the fans. He's in the spotlight and should be an ambassador of the game...instead he just takes and takes and takes and gives nothing in return. The disrespect he shows for the people who have played this game is just astonishing. Every other player is just like "wow, to be mentioned in the same breath as so and so, that's amazing" And they always are thrilled to meet older players who are out of the game, and learn from them and respect them for what they accomplish. I hope in 20 years someone beats the hell out of Bonds numbers and then stomps all over him, just like he has done to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I am a big fan of Bonds. He doesnt use steroids like Corky! And I believe he will break Mays and Ruths records but not Aarons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not anymore He was one of the players who mysteriously lost 15-20 pounds between last year and this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Whats 15 pounds? I have lost more than that in a week and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 So do those that hate Barry for these comments also dislike Rickey for calling himself the greatest? Me I think Bonds is a jerk in the media, but i really don't care. He doesn't beat his wife or get in trouble with the law. He is a damn good player, maybe the best ever. Although I think in comparison for offensive players when its all set and done Pujols or Arod would go down as greater, namely Arod cause of the position he plays.

Jordan4life_2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I definitely agree that Barry Bonds has a BIG mouth. But we in Chicago should know better. We've had one of the biggers mouths in the gm the last 5-6 years in Frank Thomas. U don't have to like Bonds as a person but give the man his props. He's no doubt one of the best players ever. And as far as the steroid talk, Nobody will ever be able to prove it. So just let it go. Players should be judged by what they do on the field. PERIOD....

southsider2k5 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Whats 15 pounds? I have lost more than that in a week and a half! It is the difference between steroids and not steroids... and you have major problems if you have lost more than 15 pounds in a week.

CubKilla Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 So do those that hate Barry for these comments also dislike Rickey for calling himself the greatest? They're both jagoffs. f*** both of them. Like someone here said..... let's see Bonds do what he's doing back in the Ruth era where pitching and talent wasn't watered down to the point that it is today. Bonds getting tanked every night, over-eating, smoking, not working out, and bangin' a different whore every night wouldn't hurt either.

IlliniKrush Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 The deadball stuff, watered down pitching, smaller parks - that's all valid s*** against Bonds The drinking, whores, not working out, can't hold that against Bonds at all because that was Ruth's choice, whereas the above things he did not control.

Steff Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Maybe not anymore He was one of the players who mysteriously lost 15-20 pounds between last year and this year... And he is also the ONLY player who pissed in a cup ON COMMAND for Real Sports with Bryant Gumble to be tested. He's not on roids. And I seriously doubt he ever was. Why..? Because I think his father would have killed him. As for what he did this offseason.. it sounds like he had a health scare of some sort because he has said over and over again that he was on a strict protein diet for most of the off-season. Anyone who's ever dieted know that if you cut carbs out of your diet you can lose 10 lbs in a week easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's ever dieted know that if you cut carbs out of your diet you can lose 10 lbs in a week easily. I am of the opinion that he never was on joice. to me, he didnt appear a lot smaller like SamMe did. he still looks the same. and if anyone saw the article on his off season workout and nutritional plan in Muscle And Fitness, you would realize that he puts in a lot of hard f***ing work to get to where he is now. The guy is a work out warrior. Just because someone is big, doesnt mean they take roids. i have seen and met a lot of natural body builders that are pretty damn big.

He did admit to using some kind of "-ione" but it was similar to what McGwire was using. I don't think it was andro though . At least he didn't f***ing piss himself and go into a roid-filled rage like ShamME Soso did . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
