clujer420 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I'm going with #1. Unless the guy dies tomorrow or suffers a career-ending injury, he'll shatter 755 IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Bonds is classless. But I hope for karma here. I hope he now breaks it against an equally classless f*** named Carlos Zambrano. CZ is lucky that liner by Bonds yesterday didn't take his goddamn ugly f***in' head off. But the way he showed Bonds up after making the catch to get out of a bases loaded jam was above and beyond anything Bonds ever did. And in case posters here have forgotten, CZ did it to Carlos Lee too at Wrigley on 06/22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Yeah man...Zambrano is VERY annoying. As far as Bonds though I don't see anything other than injury gettin in his way of Hank's record. The guy might hit another 50 or so this year. What would that bring his total to?

Well, I don't think he'll hit another 50 this year, but if he ends up with 50 (that would be 17 more, so I think that's a pretty safe bet that he'll do it), he'll have 663 in his career. He would only need 93 more to break Hank's record. That's 31 a year for 3 years (and I think he'll play at least 3 more after this year, especially if he goes to the AL as a DH). It's a virtual lock IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighurt52235 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 CZ is lucky that liner by Bonds yesterday didn't take his goddamn ugly f***in' head off. How? That was one of the softest liners I've ever seen back to the pitcher. I for one don't have a problem with a guy getting excited after a big play. Last year, did you have a problem with Osuna when he fanned Sosa to end the game? I sure as hell didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get that excited over every lil play is stupid if u ask me...But like Bonds said. His fat ass will lean respect.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the bases were empty, and Bonds weren't the tying run, then it's wrong. But the bases were full, and Barry f***ing Bonds was the tying run. I pray to God that baseball doesn't turn to football where they celebrate everything. But in a big situation, I like to see fire. I hope you guys are viewing it this way just because he is on the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Bonds, I like him but Id say he wont break the record. Hell make second but not first. HES 39... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 I think Bonds will play for a loooooong time yet. He is fascinated with his own legacy, and he wants to break as many records as possible and put them out of reach. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 900 homers. With the DH, he can play to age 45. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 He's perfect capable of playing till he's 45. Bonds did say something a few days ago about just passing Ruth and not caring about Aaron. But I think his ego will force him to go for it all. Hell, he may even set his sights on Sadahara Oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Once his contract expires in SFO (don't know when) I bet a lot of AL teams will want him for DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Last year, did you have a problem with Osuna when he fanned Sosa to end the game? I sure as hell didn't. No, but that was mainly because he got out the guy that shows-up pitchers the most. His little hop is stupid and shows pitchers up like no other...I'm surprised more players didn't do what that Torres kid for Pittsburgh did earlier this year. Sosa just got a little of his own medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
