Been reading it ever since. Why won't the @#$%^$# Astros pitch to Bonds? He's up again. WOW! I hate to say this,but thank God the Astros have a black pitcher, and the Giants had a 9-1 lead.O.K, so jump all over me. |

I am so sick about people pissing and moaning about Barry Bonds. Take a step back and look at what he's doing, both in his career and this season, especially (since it's topical), the latter. He passed Babe Ruth in walks - the ultimate sign of opponent's respect, in a record that stood for 78 years. He will be the second player in history to have a slugging pct. greater than .800 (only ruth again), and he will be in the top 5 in on base Pct. (exceeding .500). These latter records have stood for more than 70 years and should surely show anyone interested in the nuances of the game just how great a hitter is Bonds. |

If it's any consolation, Rickey Henderson is a nicer guy than Ty Cobb-- so the Karma is preserved. |

Todd, Nobody doubts this is one of the greatest seasons of all time for a player. |

I'll admit I don't like him, but I don't care if he gets the record or not - if he's good enough to do it, fine. As fans, we are all entitled to our opinions and certainly we can like whoever we choose to. Earlier this year Bonds said in an interview that if he was close at the end of the year and the Giants were in a pennant race, that he wouldn't expect teams to pitch to him. Now he whines about that scenario playing out. The Astros' "Bonds" strategy obviously didn't work, but nothing they're doing right now is working. |

Hope Billy Cristal doesn't come with the idea of producing 71* with Cuba Gooding or Will Smith as Barry Bonds... |

For me it's sad that a guy like Bonds matches the most popular record in baseball. |

This is all very similar to earlier conversations about who belongs in the Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds will hold a ton of lifetime baseball records not because he was an altar boy (sorry for the Catholic reference, but it's my background), but because he posessed superior baseball skills. Dale Murphy will get a bunch of humanitarian awards; Barry Bonds will not. Barry Bonds will be in the Hall of Fame; Dale Murphy will not. |

I really don't think the color of the pitcher had ANYTHING to do with Bonds getting a good ball to hit (at least I sincerely hope not). Had Bob Gibson been pitching, Bonds would've gotten a nice fat juicy fastball...right in the ear. It's too bad Bonds isn't in the NHL: at least in hockey, if you showboat, they check you through the boards and put you back in your place. |

... his responses had to be interpreted because he speaks Spanish, not English. I doubt that this Spanish-speaking rookie pitcher felt like he had much in common with Barry Bonds. |

Are you suggesting that Barry put his daughter up to scribbling some note for his (or his reputation's)benefit? That's ridiculous. If anything is apparent to me about Barry Bonds, it's that he does not give a damn (probably to his detriment)about what anyone else thinks about him. He seeks no marketing- what you see is what you get. |

Mike, I know there's been Barry bashing for a long time, and I also know he's not the most popular player. I guess my hangup is that so many people just want to label him based on little or nothing they themselves have seen, and follow the media'slead. I'm a staunch anti-media guy-- I think they use poor judgment, disregard people's privacy, have their own agendas and biases that they will never admit, are not particularly intelligent and abuse the tremedous power they have to paint portraits of people that are not reflective of their subjects. All of this in the name of "the people have a right to know". |

It never occurred to me that the Astros weren't pitching to Bonds because he was black until their strategy had backfired so many times it was silly. Why can't Latin Americans be black Latin Americans? The day before, Bonds got his only other hit off the Astros--from another black pitcher. Sure it may well be coincidence, just as it may be coincidence that the rookie card of probably the greatest baseball player of all time, a Giant, is worth a lot less than the rookie card, from the same year, of another player, a Yankee? Oh yeah, and one's white and one's black. |

but remember when mark mcgwire was going for the record,and everbody was whining that he was getting walked too much? where were those people when bonds was getting more walks in less at-bats? that astros series really pissed me off till the last at-bat....bonds had 61 more walks than anyone else,anyone else they would have been crying over the walks,so instead he sets the walk record,home run record in the same season,while still resting 10 games,plus the slugging record thats stood since 1920! Hope everyone enjoyed and realized what they saw this year...plus wait till next year,ive never seen anyone hit home run #600(except on tape),it should happen next year,i cant wait,hope they pitch to him then |

What about Sammy Sosa? - last time I looked he was still black, and everyone likes him. Gee, maybe it has something to do with attitude?!? Most people I knew were pulling for Sammy over McGwire in '98, because THEY LIKED HIM MORE. |
