Calm down there, tiger. I've said a million times Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Giambi, and Palmeiro should all have asteriks next to their names. The reason I hate Bonds more than any of those players, is his arrogance towards the fans and the media. Would I go down to the stadium to chuck batteries at him? No. Would I go down there to boo the ever loving shtein out of him? Yup.

i totally understand that argument but i dont agree because i believe the steroid era itself will judge those players so theres no need for taking away records and using asteriks...because if you do that you open up a huge can of worms...dont you then have to start putting asteriks next to win loss records...even world series wins...people will always know the steroid era was bogus and the players in it will be judged accordingly...its almost a worse fate to have a record that isnt taken seriously as opposed to having it taken away from you....kinda like rotting in a jaill for all eternity vs getting the death penalty tommorow

anyway my beef is why does barry bonds get more hate than all the players you mentioned ablve plus everyone else in the steroid era combined...thats what i think is disgraceful...its just epople jumping on bonds because its the thing to do right now

bored white teenagers with nothing else to do should be put in a big blender and fed to the homeless

So, what were you like as a teen?  I'd assume you'd be blender mush if the world worked on your philosophy.

Barry Bonds is a prick and a liar.  It would be one thing if he came clean about the sterroids and said that he had to do it to compete against all the other players that were doing it.  Instead, he continues to be truculent with the media and lie about his past vehemontly.  I hate him more than all the other 'roid monkeys, because he's got his name all over the record books and is about to pass the best hitter in major league history in homers.

Bonds, and your inflated opinion of him, could explode into tiny bits, and the world would be a better place.

Why the bored white ones?  Are the black/hispanic/asian ones already in jail?

Phillies fans should show some class even if Bonds is a jerkwad.

Couldn't have summed it up better myself.

The fact that he put a therapeutic recliner in front of his locker didn't help my opinion of him much either.

[ice grillin you]

i could care less about bonds...its the steroid era that i despise

holding a record is not a reason to hate bonds more than lenny dykstra dave hollins or mark mcgwire...all those players lied and cheated just as much as bonds...they just arent nearly as good at baseball

jose canseco is the only player i can see getting a pass here if you judge someone by admittance

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I hate all those guys, but I hate Bonds more.

Holding a record should make a difference, because while the 1993 Phillies would have been about 62-100 without steroids, they also ended up not winning the Series anyway.  Bonds has his name splashed all over the books, and he's a fleshpophead who took a hell of a lot of steroids.  I hope his heart explodes.

uhhhhh what the hell, way to make baseball gay

Phillies fans vent displeasure at Bonds
Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- Barry Bonds got another rude welcome in a city known for its boorish behavior.

In his first game on the East Coast this season, the San Francisco Giants' slugger was greeted with the familiar boos that have followed him wherever he's played -- except at home.

"You stink, loser," a fan yelled as Bonds walked to the plate in the first inning of Friday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The boos grew louder when Bonds stepped into the batter's box and they quickly turned to cheers when he flied out to center field on the first pitch. Bonds heard it again in the third inning, when he was intentionally walked with a runner on second and one out.

With Bonds in left field, fans in the bleachers behind him chanted "Just retire" and "Just inject me." A long banner in left field read: "Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer." Many carried signs that had simple asterisks on them.

One guy wore a fat suit that was supposed to represent Bonds with the Giants, while his skinny friend was the pre-pumped Bonds with the Pirates.

Alex Bues, a college student in Philadelphia originally from Connecticut, wasn't allowed to bring in a sign that read: "Got Roids?" However, someone else had a sign that said: "Got Juice?"

Bues wore a white T-shirt in which he wrote in orange and black marker, "Giant Cheater" on the front and "Disgrace" on the back above the No. 25.

Bonds entered with 712 home runs, trailing only Babe Ruth's 714 and Hank Aaron's 755.

Bonds has been a target for criticism throughout his career, especially now that he's facing lingering questions about steroids. A federal grand jury in San Francisco is investigating whether Bonds lied under oath when he said he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.

Fans have vilified Bonds everywhere he's gone this season. But this is his first trip to a northeast city, where fans are generally more passionate and emotional. In Philly, they're always on the edge, mostly because the city hasn't celebrated a championship since the 76ers won the NBA title in 1983.

These fans will always be remembered for booing Santa Claus during halftime of an Eagles game during a 2-12 season in 1968.

They once cheered the temporary paralysis of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin, tossed batteries at St. Louis Cardinals outfielder J.D. Drew and always give their own players a hard time when they fail to deliver in clutch situations or appear to not give an all-out effort.

Bonds first emerged from the dugout at 5:39 p.m., walked to a spot behind the batting cage and stood there for a few minutes chatting with a Phillies coach. He waved to fans who hollered his name as he walked out to left field, where most of the anti-Bonds fans were located.

An obese man wearing a sleeveless cut-off T-shirt yelled: "Barry, your head is shrinking." A few minutes later, the same guy admitted he wished he looked more like Bonds instead of a reject from a beer-league softball team.

"You see those arms? They're bigger than my legs," the hefty fan marveled.

While the haters took their shots at Bonds, other fans gathered in the right-field bleachers, hoping for a souvenir. Bonds launched several drives into the stands during batting practice and one teenager drew loud cheers for using his Phillies cap to catch one of the homers.

Another teenager wearing a Yankees jersey and cap caught two of Bonds' batting-practice shots. He planned to save those balls for quite a while.

Some fans didn't understand the hype surrounding Bonds' pursuit of Ruth.

"Why is there such a big deal about this? He's not breaking a record. He's going to be in second place, not first place," a fan wearing a Bonds jersey said.

Sports radio host Howard Eskin of WIP-AM in Philadelphia spent the past week telling fans they should walk out of their seats, turn their backs to Bonds and go up to the concession stands when he bats. It didn't seem many listened.

"I don't understand the outrage," a caller to the station said earlier in the day. "Why should I boo Bonds? I didn't boo Mark McGwire. I didn't boo Sammy Sosa. I didn't boo Brady Anderson. I think they used steroids."

Bonds got loud boos when the lineups were introduced before the game, though there was a smattering of cheers. Most saved their best for the first inning.

In San Francisco's season opener at San Diego, a fan tossed a syringe near Bonds as he came off the field in between innings. They stuck to hurling insults in Philly -- at least early in the game.

Die AP.

well actually they got 2/3 of the facts right. kinda. the santa thing obviously has been blown out of proportation, but they did mention it was 1968. the irvin thing im proud of and id do it again. and it was one fan who threw the batteries a drew, and he deserved it. not as bad as some other articles have been, but this ridiculous thing has been played to the upmost degree.

as for the game, farg bonds. 8-3 phils. 6 in a row.
