December 3, 200421 yr I agree with you that he could have helped him out.. difference is I believe he did. I know I've told this story before.. but quickly.. I met Barry 5 or 6 years ago - maybe 4 diffferent times during the season. Nice guy, really. This was before his father was real sick. A couple years pass and I had not seen him since. When Ray got traded I went to some games and after we all went out to dinner. In walks Barry.. he walks around saying hi to everyone.. and without missing a beat.. walks up to me.. says hello to me by name. Spends a few minutes asking me how life is, buys a few rounds of drinks, etc, etc.. Here is a guy who meets and talks to hundreds of people over the season.. and after 2 years remembers my name...? And goes out of his way to say hello..?? That, to me, is not a guy who would treat his friends.. those he sees on a regular basis (his trainer) like crap. Clearly, because of meeting him I have a different opinion about him and I think he really would have/did do all he could for the guy. Respect to you also, SFF. Maybe he thought you were hot and you caught his eye.
December 3, 200421 yr Barry can be a racist all he wants. We can give it back. Barry better not catch himself standing near any oak trees. I'm so sick of arrogant black people. "ZOMG U TREETED US LIK SIHT SO NOW WE HAV DA RITE 2 AKT SOOPEEREEOR!!! LOLOL"
December 3, 200421 yr Didn't Bonds* say something along the lines that he wanted to beat Ruth, solely because he wanted two black men on the top of the list?

That's a horrible thing to say, regardless of race, color, religion, ethnicity, anything.
December 4, 200421 yr Didn't Bonds* say something along the lines that he wanted to beat Ruth, solely because he wanted two black men on the top of the list? Yes. Bonds is probably one of a subset of the black population that thinks blacks CANNOT be racist..... no matter what their views are or what they say/think. He's a twit.
December 4, 200421 yr I was listening to Dan Patrick on ESPN radio this morning and 2 interesting things happened. First, Patrick was accused of being a racist because he criticized Bonds' involvement in this thing. He shot that down pretty emphatically by saying that he didn't receive one email from anyone accusing him of being anti-Italian for ripping Giambi the day before. Second, Mark Grace was a guest and he stated that he had lots of teammates over the years that used steroids. He'd never out them, but they were there. I wonder who he was talking about.

Minorities and the liberal, white left throw out the word "racist" so often now-a-days that they probably wouldn't know a genuine racist if he/she was standing right in front of their face. I'm against players using performance-enhancing drugs in sports and Barry Bonds is black. I guess I'm a racist. Where do I pick up my white hood and torch?
