no doubt the man has amazing eye hand coordination. he only gets a few pitches that are hittable in a game and drives them out.

its also to bad he has to use the roids. but then again without them he would hit 450ft instead of 525ft.

this is why many people don't care that he did it. now if someone who didn't do roids made it then i would be impressed.

yeah, they switched it from PTI to watch his at-bat.. i was so mad cause PTI was talking about how much of a baby kobe was for blowing that game and they interrupted it (kind of ironic, interrupting Pardon The Interruption)..
so i was sitting there complaining when he hits this BOMB out of the park.. man, he nailed that thing...
too bad i still can't stand him...

edit: besides that, hes having a heck of a day.. 3/3 w/ 4 RBIs...

Well now you'll always remember where you were when Bonds hit 660. Watching that poor show PTI.

at least replay it at like midnight or something

steriods rule! all players should be using them, then maybe i would watch baseball more often

i want them to start using aluminum bats. I want death and destruction on the pitchers mound.

Yea subtract 50ft from all the homeruns he hit and he probably doesn't even come close to that 660 number he's at right now.

Also it's just not a problem with him taking steriods in his power, but also such things as endurance and injury recovery. There are many different types of steriods that do different things to a person's body. Just because it's sterioids != just huge strength increases.

Personally, I think him, Sosa, McGwire, and a few others should be stripped of any and all records they have in the books.

hmm...subtract 50 ft from all the HRs he hits, and move him out of PacBell park and into a regular ball park, and he would have still hit 650. Put Sosa, McGwire, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth at PacBell and I...yes I'll Guarantee! that they will never hit 50+ HRs in a year.

Subtract the hundreds of intentional walks and add those homeruns you just took away. :p
