Bonds! Yeah!

[DyePack]

Watched a big portion of Bonds on Bonds, and then ESPN followed that up with clips of historic homers (1st, 100, 200, etc.). Lots of clips from Three Rivers, Candlestick and other older parks.

Yeah!

When Bonds breaks the record, ESPN Classic should show every game that featured a Bonds home run. That would kick ass.

Normally I'm pretty good at detecting sarcasm. Why do I fear this might be real?

 

[Jones]

Pha-shoo.

It's very real.

Don't think they won't.

I love baseball more than anybody, and have always admired Bonds as a player even before he was a science experiement.

But ****ing A. They've saturated Bonds coverage to the point of comedy.

 

[heyabbott]

I'd like to see ESPN classic put up Bonds' baseball card picture for each year.

 

[Mutah]

he's no lebron. ;D

Well, I bet USA Today will run a list of every one of his home runs, when and where it was hit and who was pitching.

They did that a few years ago. I seem to remember Greg Maddux's name showing up a few times, and the Phillies seemed to be frequent victims when Bonds was still with the Pirates.

They did that sorta thing when Nolan Ryan was closing in on his 5,000th strikeout. And a list of most victimized. Lists up the wazoo. That's real journalism.

 

[greenie]

Might not be hard-core journalism, but those lists are interesting to a lot of readers. And that's kind of the point of putting out a paper.

 

[Herbert Anchovy]

They don't call it McPaper for nothing.

 

[CentralIllinoisan]

Barry Bonds' rookie card ;D

 

[DyePack]

I'm getting ready for an evening of pasta, root beer and watching the man tie Babe Ruth. Yeah!

 

[buckweaver]

Well, you might get your chance.

BBonds just hit one about 848248928489294758 feet into the RF upper deck, off the McDonald's sign. That's No. 713. He'll get another AB in the 9th if Alou keeps him in a losing effort.

What's funny about tonight, though, is the fact that I just missed seeing the HR live and so I switched over to ESPNews to see the replay and wasted 30 minutes of my life and they refused to show it. All they would show was the box score and then they told us to stay with them in case Bonds made history. Why? So you can show me the boxscore again?
The one time ESPN could have been helpful, they blow it.

 

[Stupid]

The one time ESPN could have been helpful, they blow it.

That might have been the one time they could have been helpful but not the only time they've blown it.

 

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

Barry Bonds' rookie card ;D

That is well played.

And in the dualing shots on Bonds ... the biggest noticable change (outside his massive head) is in the shoulders and neck.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

How long is this ****ing press conference gonna last? Don't people have deadlines to meet?

 

[wheateater]

..And Bonds drops an f-bomb on live tv. Best moment of my night.
