Now that's funny I absolutely and unequivocally deny there is any substantiated proof Barry Bonds did steroids. I patiently await delivery in the mail.

BTW, Dan...watched the video on Yahoo! yet? You know, I've watched it maybe ten times now and for the life of me it still looks like 40, 000+ San Diego fans jumping up and down, cheering and snapping photos of Barry Bonds. Maybe that's what you call booing....?

Is there any need for these kinds of comments, Dan? I mean it's not pro-wrestling or anything. You can make your point (and even have truth on your side, as I believe you do,) but there's no need for such slurs. I don't think it enhances your argument in the slightest. And I doubt you'll be able to win Goodspeak over to some of your points by throwing such gratuitous shots. Come on, Conn...you know by now that Dan will never grow up and learn to control his anger. It's just not going to happen. Let me save him some time, though, so he can concentrate on Goodspeak... Fuck you, Mark! Thank you, CS and Jazzmoose. Frankly, I really can't understand what all the adrenaline is about....after all's said and done it's still just a game.

You're defeating your own argument. If Selig actually was happy about this, he wouldn't have said the above PREPARED comments at all. He would have simply said congratulations and not used the moment to bring up the steroid controversy. Please. A great public speaker he is not. Selig has read from a scripted response in every single public appearance he has ever made. Whenever he speaks, he is as interesting as watching paint dry. You know, they say hatred blinds you to reality. I'm inclined to believe that.

You're defeating your own argument. If Selig actually was happy about this, he wouldn't have said the above PREPARED comments at all. He would have simply said congratulations and not used the moment to bring up the steroid controversy. Not to mention standing there with his hands shoved in his pocket, looking for all the world like he's waiting for them to start on his root canal. I see. So there is a set guidline as to how people in sensitive CEO positions should react? Please, do tell...enlighten us. [ahem] Appearances can be deceiving, Dan.....but don't let the fact of the matter deter you. Go on, be a hater. Your loss.

He bought the big lie...just like you did, Dan. Coincidence? I think not. Did you watch the Yahoo! video? Where was all the booing? Lies upon lies, Dan Pssh.

Hm. Suit yourself....but you still have to have proof before any conviction or asterisk can be applied. The media lynch mobs are nothing less than a pack of yellow journalists hell-bent for get back on Bonds' allegedly bad attitude towards them. Sorry to see you have bought into their half-truths and shoddy journalism, too. But, oh well. I do agree with one thing...you can't force love. And I have nothing but open disdain for the media jackals who have perpetrated this charade. The Sports page and even the evening news have become shameful pretend news outlets for their own personal bias against this great ballplayer. If Bonds was white, the papers would be filled with splashy headlines lauding his success. As to the record: I hope they choke on it.

And maybe in a Giants uniform next season...that would be just too cool!

Look, listen and learn.

And I quote from today's Fresno Bee [off the AP wire]: "Congratulations to Barry Bonds as he ties Major League Baseball's home run record. No matter what anybody thinks of the controversy surrounding this event, Mr. Bonds' achievement is noteworthy and remarkable." "As I said previously, out of respect for the tradition of the game, the magnitude of the record and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven guilty, either I or a representative of my office will attend the next few games and make every attempt to observe the breaking of the all-time home run record." -Bub Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball

So when was that asterisk picture taken....back in April sometime? He was booed...what, by the three or four Dan Gould types in the audience? Here it is on Yahoo! and crank up the volume so you can hear all that booing, OK? Link:Barry Bonds hits #755! Yup. No cheering, nobody is standing....place was empty. Right. Time to recognize the greatest hitter in MLB history, Boyz.

Oh, get off it already. The majority of real baseball fans wanted to see him break it and you were wrong. Sad day indeed....for closed minds.

#755!!! And the ENTIRE stadium of fans at Petco Park was on their feet and cheering and snapping photos. Now how about THAT. I think that pretty much tells the real story about who wants to see Bonds break the record. The SD fans gave Bonds a standing-O when he took the field, too. Anybody saying nobody wanted Bonds to do it were dead dog WRONG....and I told you so. Ha! I accept your apologies in advance.

Giants trade Matt Morris to Pittsburg for an intinerate outfielder and a player to be named later. [heaviest of sighs] Go Niners.

I watch ESPN for sporting news, highlight reels, classics and the various baseball and football games. The idiotic game shows [Who is Now? WTF is that bullshit?] and gossip shows make me want to hurl.

God must have one helluva ball club now.

Oooo. Yer killin' me here, BFrank.

Good old fashioned BBQ'd hamburgers with potatos and beans.

I'm inclined to think so.

I dunno. Does size matter?

Um... I've yet to see Dan let a mistake go without acknowledging it. He and I have had our riffs before, and there is nothing that he and I have ever said to each other that wasn't forgivable. I like you, Tim, and always have, but if you're going to insult my friends like this, then I'm gonna call you out: who's being the arrogant unfriendly jerk here? OK. I see how it is. Dan can be as insulting as is humanly possible toward me and I'm the jerk. My bad.

Right. Just like we won't confuse you with the facts about Clinton and your republican get-back for Nixon. Well argued, Dan. It wasn't an argument it was an observation, dumb ass. Consult 70% of the rest of the thread for arguments that you have never come close to refuting in any way, shape or form. I see. Safety in numbers then, eh? Then tell us why Bush is presdent when the numbers of votes went against him. It was an argument against my position, Dan. Observation my rosey red.... Dumb ass. WTF???? Poor, sad, pathetic Goody. I hope you plan to stick around when Bonds is indicted and goes to trial. Then I want to hear you rebut the sworn testimony that puts him in prison. let's see - he didn't use steroids, and anyway, "the media" planted that doping calendar. He didn't cheat on his taxes, and anyway that bitch is just a nasty tramp trying to get back at him. Steroids have no impact on home run hitting, even if home runs skyrocketed during the "steroid era", even if known steroid users like Juan Gonzales and Jose Canseco combined for 900 homers between the two of them. Keep dancing, Goody, keep dancing. You remind me of that episode of Buffy where the demon makes people sing and dance and when they stop, they burst into flames. You're dancing for your life, Goody only soon the music is going to stop and the piper will be paid. Oh well...since you put it that way, you win. I'm wrong. Move on. Let's have a party in your honor.

Arrogant, unfriendly jerk. Hm. [Reminds me of a certain Dan person I know of] Gee. I guess Bonds isn't the only ballplayer like that. Who knew? Well, so much for the HOF then, huh.

Forget it, Big Al. Dan can't help himself.
