I'm really interested to know how anybody who pays the smallest amount of attention to baseball can look at this guy and not hope that the next pitcher he faces throws a 4-seamer right at his steroid-enlarged cranium.

Change "steroid-enlarged cranium" to "knee" and I'll agree with you.

Meh, the guy wears his helmet. Clemens' heater to Piazza didn't do any lasting damage. And its not like I said I hope he gets run over by a train or I hope his children get cancer or something.

The guy is a disgrace to the game, and really just generally not a likable human being. How about nobody pitches to him for the rest of the season? Only reason he's back is because he wants to try to break Babe's record. He doesn't care about his team, he barely cares about the fans, and he's done more steroids than Raffy and Big Mac and Sammy all combined. And THIS is the guy people cheer for, this is the guy that's going into Cooperstown.

I don't wish lasting injury on the guy...hell, he's already got knee problems from all the performance-enhancing pharmaceuticals he's shot up.

My initial statement was a little exercise in hyperbole anyways. You know, exaggerating a comment almost to the point of farce to get people a little riled up and show just how much I (and I'm not the only one) really can't stand this dude.

[ QUOTE ]
Thus began a wild, 11-pitch at-bat in which Eaton, who has given up three of Bonds' 703 career home runs, challenged Bonds with the crowd was on its feet all the way.

The sequence: ball one low and outside, ball two low and outside -- ``Boo!'' from the crowd. Called strike one, called strike two in tight -- Bonds mouthing the word ``Wow'' in disbelief at the call. Foul ball into the second deck, another foul behind him into the second-tier seats, two straight towering fouls into the right-field stands, ball low and away, a foul to left.

Then the double.

``He gave me the best at-bat I've seen this year in the first at-bat,'' Felipe Alou said. ``I'm not talking about this team, I'm talking about any team.''

First, he is not a disgrace to the game. He is probably the best offensive player in the game.

Second, everyone who gets injured tries to make it back as fast as they can. He is healthy enough to play again so that's what he is doing. Others are coming off the disabled list and playing too. Should they also just wait until next year? Man, you must have some serious hate. Think about what you are saying.

If he is healthy and can play then he should. Just like everyone else. If he is healthy and does not want to play, then he should retire. Same goes for anyone else.

yea...because last year he never hit the ball to the warning track...

And the reason he is "the best offensive player in the game is because.....................

HE [censored] CHEATS! HE'S CHEATED FOR A LONG TIME, AND IS PROBABLY STILL CHEATING!!!

Hell, even if he's not on the roids anymore, you can't [censored] deny it. I'm sorry if I'd just like a little more integrity from this pathetic sack of [censored] who's gotten all this "best offensive player" stuff because he took drugs. Or at least some humility. You're not fooling anybody Barry, we all know you had to take the juice to get that power. We don't hate your family like you wanted to say we did, we don't just want to bring you down. We want some damned integrity and honesty. Is that too much to ask?

He's been winning MVPs and putting up numbers his entire career. Some day you will realize this. Like I said, for some reason you have some serious hate for him.
