I thought he was a jerk after proclaiming himself the "best ever" but he seemed like a decent guy when I saw him play for San Diego.

Yes, the dreaded "YABQ".

Some of you are too young to remember, but in 1992 the US Postal System let citizens vote on the upcoming Elvis Presley tribute stamp -- should it represent Young Elvis, svelte and sexy, or Older Elvis, all Vegas'ed out? Young Elvis won in a landslide (see the candidates: http://www.postalmuseum.si.edu/artofthestamp/SubPage%20table%20images/artwork/rarities/Elvis%20Ballot/elvisballot.htm ).

So, when the Hall summons Bonds, what should his plaque represent? Young, reedy, speedy Barry, or older, bulky, Hulky Barry?

(Be entertaining, not mean. Try. And no "Roids Barry's head won't fit on a plaque" lines, it's been done.)

I am still so mad that Tommy Glavine who was perfect for the 7 innings he pitched yesterday got a no desision becasue Wilie Randoph made a poor desision to take him out and put in Mota who happily gives up a grand slam. why is it that Galvine can never win two in a row? It look him 2 tries for 299, two tries for 300, now 2(at least) tries for 301!

People say Ted Williams is the only one to hit .400 in a season. But what about Ty Cobb? Didn't he do it like three times in his career? Was it because these season were strike-shortened or something? So they didnt count?

from what I can tell by looking at bonds homeruns each year, bonds hit around 200 more homeruns because of the steriods, so if hank aaron did the steriod thing, do you think aaron would have finished up around 1000 career homers ?

Obviously, unlike today, the game was rigged along racial lines and the best "men" were not playing against the best competition.

I think every stat from that time deserves an asterisk pointing out the inequity of banning all blacks and other minorties from the game.

Just look at the game the last few decades and see how many of it's stars and record holders are black and latino.

How many current hall of famers would never be there if not for the fact that minorities were kept out of the game.

I call those people "white affirmative action" inductees. Like Phil Rizzuto for one.

Is there a rule in the MLB where starting pitchers cannot pitch in consecutive games? If so, can you elaborate and tell me when this rule came into effect? This is becuase you never see any pitchers these days throwing 60 games a season and winning 40+ thanks.

so just a few minutes ago i went downstairs to see what was on tv and the little league world series was on. i never watch it because all of the psycho parents think their kids are going pro. anyways, the way they had the starting lineups announced was by having each kid say their name and position and then who there favorite player is. over the years i've heard quite a few good ones that made me laugh, but never anything as rediculous as what one kid said. he said his favorite player was HONUS WAGNER!!! what the hell? the guy played like 100 years ago! how can that be your favorite player?? you never even got to see him play. his dad probably told him to say it like the rest of the psychos...honus wagner...hahah...i turned it off after hearing that one.

So, what team do you think is the worst right now? I don't mean by record, I mean by as a team in general.

With me, I'd have to say the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco has been terrible this year! They're in last place in the NL West, 16.5 games back of Arizona! Here's some more stats to prove my point:

28th in runs scored

25th in hits

24th in home runs

29th in runs batted in

24th in on base percentage

29th in slugging percentage

27th in batting average

Their pitching isn't horrible. Noah Lowry (12-7, 3.32 ERA) and Tim Lincecum (6-3, 3.88 ERA) have been pretty good this year. Although, they do have some problems. Matt Cain (4-12, 3.77 ERA) has done well, and Barry Zito (8-10, 5.16 ERA) has been a bust as far as I'm concerned.

So, in your opinion, what's the worst team?

A recent question asked what major league player never yielded a grand slam. Since it did ask for "player" and not "pitcher" there are a great many men who qualify as an answer, and I blithely noted "every non-pitcher" in my reply.

Mea culpa, I've since recalled one player (there may be more but this one I know of), typically an infielder, who was called to the mound once in his major league career and managed to serve up the big helping of salami. I'll even add it happened in the mid-1990s. Name the "pitcher", the grand slam batter, and the final score of the game (or I'll accept the box score).

Seriously? We had the lead going into the 9th inning. Top 9th, get 3 outs, Lidge, it's that easy. But no, you gave up 4 runs and we ended up losing.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so frustrating.

I just started following Barry Bonds as he neared the new homerun record about a month ago and heard about all this speculation of him cheating and using steriods. Information on this?
