Bonds

Say he does get to 756. Do you think the television coverage of him will go down a little bit? If so, how much and when?

I think it'll take a drop everywhere but on the West Coast and ESPN about a week after he breaks the record. I just can't wait until I can watch the Dodgers and Diamondbacks play a more meaningful game on ESPN. Of course, I doubt we'd see that on Saturday night, anyway.

 

Then what will ESPN have Pedro Gomez do? :

 

Obviously, the coverage everywhere but San Francisco will tail off greatly as soon as he breaks the record.

ESPN won't even show his next game once he breaks the record, unless it's already scheduled.

 

I know they won't show the full games as soon as there's nothing to chase. But will he still be at the top of the highlights? Will the scrutiny subside? ...

 

He could do what he did in June last year and follow a returning pitcher make three minor league starts ...

 

Cocksucker just hit 755.

 

At least he did it 1 1/2 hours before our deadline.

 

No. 755 brought to you by steroids ... the breakfast of cheaters ...

 

Wonderful. Simply wonderful posts.
