1. you son of a gun, i thought he hit 714, you goof!

[RobertSeattle]

3. yeah, you had me there

Go Barry!

8. We all know Barry will get it at some point

I just don't want him to. I can't stand him.
We may never know if he was on the juice or not but all those guys McGwire, Sosa, Giambi, etc, etc..that were probably on the juice should've be celebrated for their accomplishments.

4. are they still using the pink bats?

I hope so...

7. No.

That was just for Mother's Day for breast cancer awareness.

5. You... you... you got me good!

I was there on Mother's Day, hoping to see 714, but NOOOOOOO you'd think the Giants don't have any mothers!! (lol)

6. Please don't do that -

He is playing in Houston then, huh??

I really like Bonds (since he was a rookie with the Pirates) - I want to see him pass Ruth. I want to see this.

9. I think it is a travesty

Ruth's record is legit. Bonds' record is not.
It's like entering a NASCAR in the Kentucky Derby--no doubt that the car is a sight to behold, and it is fast and it is shiny--and can go faster, stronger, longer than a horse...and break any record set.
However, at the end of the day, it is what it is.
A record that was broken with an unfair advantage.

12. I agree.

We all know Bonds is likely going to break it, maybe Hank's too but it's not legit.
I can't stand Bonds. I really hate him.

10. Springer threw 5 pitches right at him.

Looked like he hit him twice.

11. I think he should bunt his 714th out of the park

or maybe just a check swing or a broken bat dinger that only clears the center field wall by 50 feet.
