Bonds Hits #756 (we will wait to see if this requires an asterisk)

[ComfortEagle]

Barry Bonds just hit home run #756 against the Washington Nationals.

Congrats.....:rolleyes:

[OffTheHook]

You must have been sitting there ready to hit enter! lol

Congrats to Bonds! :)

[Panther Thunder]

get on with the game

[ComfortEagle]

The home run was hit at approx. 11:48 pm ET. Afterwards the game was stopped and a video was played over the big screens. The video contained Hank Aaron congratulating Bonds.

[Panther Thunder]

wooooooooo hank... switch sides much??

[OffTheHook]

Maybe we can get back to baseball and the playoff races now.

[ComfortEagle]

Bonds then spoke to the crowd thanking all the fans, thanking his teammates, thanking his family, thanking the opposing team for allowing the game to stop play for this moment, and he then rose his hands in the air and thanked his father.

[-STAT-]

Was getting on here to post this, congrats to Bonds on this record breaking achievement!

[OffTheHook]

wooooooooo hank... switch sides much??


????:confused:

[Panther Thunder]

legitimate question do steroids make ur voice higher?? cause ive noticed he has a high voice or has it wlways been like that?

[OffTheHook]

His voice has always been that way.

[Panther Thunder]

????:confused:
it seemed the whole time he was against Bonds

[Panther Thunder]

i wonder who caught the ball?

[OffTheHook]

oh. gotcha

[OffTheHook]

i wonder who caught the ball?

A now RICH man. lol

Bonds now just needs a triple for the cycle. Think he can do it? lol NOT!

[ComfortEagle]

i wonder who caught the ball?

We don't know who caught it, but they showed the guy being carried out of the stadium by security for his own protection.

[ComfortEagle]

Game resumed play at approx. 12:01 am ET.

[Panther Thunder]

A now RICH man. lol

[-STAT-]

A now RICH man. lol

[MVP2]

Congrats Barry!!!

[Panther Thunder]

any one else notice on the replay none of the nationals gave him a hiogh five or shook his hand while he was rounding thwe bases

[Panther Thunder]

We don't know who caught it, but they showed the guy being carried out of the stadium by security for his own protection.
mets fann haha priceless

[alfus21]

Thank goodness that debacle is now over. It will all be moot point in a few years anyways so he should enjoy it while it lasts.

[Scotty doesn't know]

i wonder who caught the ball?

That person is instantly a millionaire lol.

[TidesHoss32]

Im with you there, but regardless its still a sad sad day for baseball. Hopefully we wont have to see Bonds and his homerun totals (*) on top for long..Thank goodness that debacle is now over. It will all be moot point in a few years anyways so he should enjoy it while it lasts.

[rallo316]

no it should not he is that good.

i wonder who caught the ball?

Matt Murphy from Queens, NY...He was on a lay over in SF before going to Australia. Bought a ticket before the game...

The ball is allegedly worth anywhere from $400,000 to $600,000. The Mark McGwire 62 homerun ball at its peak was worth over $3 million. Nobody is fooled by this except the SF's people who support "their guy."

Some interesting points about last night:
Bud Selig was not present - there were two MLB reps present, one being Hall of Famer Frank Robinson. Neither appeared on the field for the ceremony.

Hank Aaron's video message was done a month ago. Aaron agreed to make one public statement about the event and we all saw it last night. The man endured **** while chasing the record as a black man in the deep south in the early 70's with death threats and such. He didn't want to re-live those events all over again. Plus, he's not going to go through the trouble because Bonds is a jerk, let alone that he cheated with HGH, steroids and what not.

The only people to congratulate him on the field were his momma, wife and kids. His own son was standing at homeplate pointing #1 to Bonds as he came home and Barry brushed him off! Then hugged him. Barry had to point to the heaven's first instead of embracing his own son. His Godfather, Willie Mays, was there and has supported him throughout. None of his teammates came out hugging his neck...The Washington Nationals didn't congratulate him or leave the dugout the shake his hand...Nobody cares because it's all about him - Barry had his moment and now it's done!

And don't get me started about the ESPN SportsCenter wrap with John "company man" Kruk praising Bonds for everything he's achieved.

All I could think off last night was Cal Ripken - basically because someone here tried to compare Bonds with Ripken or something. I remember when Ripken broke the consecutive games streak, the game was stopped forever. Ripken walked around the entire ballpark, signing his John Hancock, shaking hands and swapping high fives.

Barry "its all about me" Bonds. 7 filthy 6.

[Grand Slam]

Barry Bonds is the greatest leftfielder and slugger of alltime hands down

:rolleyes: Now who's comparing the two? At least Bonds didn't take almost a freakin hour in the lime light. Bonds said his Thanks and was ready to get back to the game. :rolleyes:

Way to go Bonds! :)

Bonds couldn't take an hour because he didn't have to thank anybody except himself. How long did you think it was going to last?

Ripken didn't spend an hour patting himself on the back. He spent the time greeting fans, media, teammates, the opposing team. It wasn't all about him. Get over it.

And where was Bud Selig? Meeting with George Mitchell, the chief investigator in the steroid scandal/Balco investigation last night. Way to go Bonds! http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2965348

When does football start? This Bonds story is gone in a week.

[Redneck]

It don't matter, A-Rod will have this record in the near future.

You know, I am a baseball fan true and through. But, I know guys who work in the mines that hasn't missed a day of work in 20 years and they didn't get the winter off. I also like Ripken as a person better than I do Bonds. BUT, Just showing up for work everyday doesn't impress me as much as showing up and being the best at work.

I'm over it. You guys are the ones who can't get over Bonds and the record.

[OffTheHook]

It don't matter, A-Rod will have this record in the near future.

IF he stays healthy.

[alfus21]

Bonds said his Thanks and was ready to get back to the game. :rolleyes:

Way to go Bonds! :)

Yeah, since he was done with his part he didn't play anymore. Who cares about winning right?

He took himself out of the game after that, and the Giants lost.

I take some pleasure in knowing that Bonds will never win a World Series title though or maybe even compete for a winning team again.

[StrikeoutKing]

I watched the homerun last night, just for the shear fact that I'm a baseball fan and I LOVE everything about it. But you know what? In no way did I feel the same way about this record being broken than what I felt when I watched Cal Ripken. Why? I'm not sure. I should have been sitting there with my little brother, saying "Wow! This is baseball history. This is a moment you will never forget." But I didn't. Sure, Barry Bonds broke the record. And it made me sick when he didn't even acknowledge his own son when he crossed home plate. This guy is one of the most selfish players in the game today. The sad thing is, he was a Hall of Fame caliber player before this whole steroid thing began. He was a 40/40 player in Pittsburgh. ****, he's won what, 8 Gold Gloves? He didn't need any "drugs" to enhance his performance (if in fact he used them, I realize he has yet to be proven guilty). They had interviews with current Hall of Famers about Bonds and his chase. I LOVE what Phil Neikro said in his little clip. "After this is over, I'll question myself as much as I can question myself. Hank can tell you he did it. Hank can look you in the face and say 'I did it right.' Can Barry do that? Can Barry look you in the face and tell you he did it right?" Can he? Can Bonds look baseball fans across the world in the eyes and say "I did it the right way?"

[OffTheHook]

Barry didn't lose the game for them. Zito hasn't pitched for crapp this year. The Giants would keep getting the lead and Zito would give it up. Not Bonds, **** he was 3-3, with a 1B,2B & HR.

He did last night during the post game enterviews. He said "This record is not tainted. Period."

He "got back in the game" for a good 60 seconds until someone came to take his place.

[ComfortEagle]

It don't matter, A-Rod will have this record in the near future.


Agreed...in 5 years.

[OffTheHook]

I didn't say back in the game. I said back to the game.

Yeah, since he was done with his part he didn't play anymore. Who cares about winning right?

Exactly...I feel the same way and excellent point - the Giants lost the game. Barry didn't care though. I'll make this prediction, Barry plays sporatically the rest of the year and will not be in a Giants uniform next season. He's something like 80 hits away from 3,000, he'll play somewhere, but it won't be in SF.

Barry didn't lose the game for them. Zito hasn't pitched for crapp this year. The Giants would keep getting the lead and Zito would give it up. Not Bonds, **** he was 3-3, with a 1B,2B & HR.

You should be Barry's PR guy. :)

He did last night during the post game interviews. He said "This record is not tainted. Period."

Barry "sounds" like he used to be Raffy Palmerio's PR guy. :) :)

[ComfortEagle]

I didn't say back in the game. I said back to the game.

Like it makes a difference.

[TidesHoss32]

yeah, and when Bonds plays post season baseball, he's about as effective as I am swinging a major league bat. F Bonds. Too bad he doesnt care if he ever wins a World Series title though. He never gave a **** when he was in Pittsburgh, and he doesnt now. Winning doesnt mean anything to Bonds. Homeruns mean everything. Yeah, since he was done with his part he didn't play anymore. Who cares about winning right?

He took himself out of the game after that, and the Giants lost.

I take some pleasure in knowing that Bonds will never win a World Series title though or maybe even compete for a winning team again.

[TidesHoss32]

I hope your right bro. Anybody but Bonds. I dont care who it is, but somebody needs to break that record. It don't matter, A-Rod will have this record in the near future.

[OffTheHook]

Like it makes a difference.

When you quote a guy it does. Especially when you quote something that wasn't said.

[ComfortEagle]

Either way, Barry didn't get back to the game which is what you were saying. He did what he was concerned about (which was not winning....it was hitting his beloved home run) and then left the game.

Yeah, maybe he didn't take an hour and delay the game, he just left and watched his team lose.

[More Cowbell]

I'm just glad I won't have to constantly see his face plastered all over the TV whenever I turn it over to ESPN. Thank goodness this farce is over, now let's get back to real baseball that matters.

[OffTheHook]

He put his team ahead and the pitching lost it for them. They paid Zito Millions to win games and he is the one who let them down as he has all season. Not Barry. The manager took him out. What would it look like if he argued with the management? I'll tell ya, wrong. Roberts is better defensively right now. More range than the 43 year old Barry. Barry did what he was paid to do. Zito didn't. So don't even try that. Sorry but that is a dead end arguement with me. By the way he hit another tonight.

[Scotty doesn't know]

In the future years A-Rod (if he stays healthy) will present a much more respectable figure for this record. I just can not look at Barry Bonds as this type of "record setter" that he has turned into. Even before the steriod accusations I still did not think of him as a superstar in my book. He just has never had the right personality IMO. I never could stand his arrogance, I hate seeing his face on TV with 775 and steriods right next to it. In my mind this record has now fell into the baseball X-files until A-Rod or someone a little more respectable overtake Bonds arrogant reign over the home run title.

[More Cowbell]

OK, so he hit another homer tonight. I just really hope that I don't have to see it when I try to see some highlights tonight.

ESPN has become the "Barry Bonds: all Barry, all the time" channel recently. Maybe they can move on to something that matters now. Like, pro bowling or competitive eating.

HECK YEAH! Competitive eating is where it is at lol. Especially now that the title is back in the US. WOOOOOO Johnny Chestnut (Correct me if that was not his name)

[StrikeoutKing]

It's Joey Chestnut, nonetheless, the title is back in the U.S.! :)

[Scotty doesn't know]

Thanks for correcting me man lol. I don't want to spread false info.

[rallo316]

It don't matter, A-Rod will have this record in the near future.
i hope not all A-rod cares about is the money he does not respect the game if he did he would give up some of that money he makes to make team better.
