Bonds' "nadir" might be attributed by fatigue caused by having to play everday with Moises Alou's numerous injuries.

Bonds' forecasted estimate of 136 games played this may set a record for a 42y/o, can anyone verify?

before lookin -- Fisk?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

Fisk played 137 as a 42 y/o.

Well, Barry Bonds has played the duration of Howard’s career under the exact same rules...

someone parse this please, brane hurts.

Barry Bonds has played baseball concurrently with Ryan Howard's MLB career (2004-2006)

and during that 3 season stretch, they have both been subject to the same PED testing policy.

OK, I cheated and had a look. Seems it was Pete Rose, 151 games in 1983:

That page raises a couple of questions:

1) Why did Cap Anson ever stop playing?

2) What happened in 1884 that the Cubs (mostly) magically started hitting home runs like crazy and what happened in 1885 that they stopped?

Oh wait I see. It was this mysterious Lake Front Park II and a rule change that resulted in the jump from 13(?!?!?) to 142(!!!) and the next year they changed stadiums to the even more mysterious West Side Park I.

bonds in quantum leap-esque trip back to save somebody in 1880s chicago?

― gear (gear), Thursday, 7 September 2006 04:56 (nineteen years ago)

I would totally watch Barry Bonds in Quantum Leap.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 7 September 2006 04:58 (nineteen years ago)

"Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Barry Bonds stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished .... He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Greg Anderson, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Barry can see and hear. And so Barry finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."

as Boomer Berman wd speak for the MSM, "OPS?? Wha's tha?"

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

four weeks pass...

from mlb.com:

"Although Bonds fell nine plate appearances short of qualifying for the Major League lead in on-base percentage, the Elias Sports Bureau added those appearances to his season-ending total -- determining that even with the extra at-bats he still would have led the league in that category -- and awarded him MLB's top mark at .454. It was the highest on-base percentage since 1894 for a player his age with more than 300 plate appearances."

six months pass...

wow, I think he's gonna pass Aaron before the hatas can indict him.

It's satyrical, right?

Very Poor, June 19, 2005
Reviewer: JustKelly "JK" (St. Paul) - See all my reviews

I am the FAN in fanatic when it comes to baseball. If there is a book, I read it. If there is a game, I watch it. If Twins's tickets are available, I am there.

This is probably the worse baseball related book I have ever read. I like Will Carroll's column but he should stick with that style of writing but cause his book writing is awful. If you are looking for a book book on baseball or the subject of steroids, this sure ain't it.

― am0n, Monday, 23 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

Who are these 3 people?

― David R., Monday, 23 April 2007 17:08 (nineteen years ago)

probably the "worse" people ever

― am0n, Monday, 23 April 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

They should of explained why they found it helpful with there own reviews.

Parker is not satirical there, no. When he was on the radio yesterday, he sounded like he wanted to get Aaron in a ring and duke it out.

― Andy K, Monday, 23 April 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

So Parker's kinda answered his own question there then.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Monday, 23 April 2007 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

Why does Barry Bonds sound like such a smarmy asshole in the media? He can't possibly be that much of a grump in real life, can he?

― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 26 April 2007 02:54 (nineteen years ago)

Oh no he's actually a really sweet guy. I once saw him nurse a kitten.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Thursday, 26 April 2007 04:38 (nineteen years ago)

I heard he saved Nomar Garciaparra from drowning after Nomar pulled a groin saving a dolphin from a tuna net.

― David R., Thursday, 26 April 2007 06:09 (nineteen years ago)

Whatever his other failings, I support anyone being a smarmy asshole to the Toy Department media.

more bonds-related crime:

A Greenwood Avenue couple were frightened when an apparently disgruntled and intoxicated sports fan broke into their home early Wednesday morning. They hid from him until police came after he threatened to kill them, using profanity, according to incident reports. Statesboro (Ga.) police said officers responded to the couple's call for help around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, and found William Benjamin Smith, 21, also of a Greenwood Avenue address, "inside the residence in the kitchen in an apparent intoxicated state."

According to police incident reports, Smith was yelling and said "Barry Bonds doesn't deserve to be the Home Run King."

lol i really don't like barry bonds but i love how he's proving everyone who thought he'd crawl over the 755 finish line wrong.

― félix pié, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:15 (nineteen years ago)

If Bonds has another .350/.550/.700 year with 40 some odd home runs while peeing in a cup every six days will it convince everyone that he's CLEAN and a good role model?!?! WHAT MORE DO YOU MONSTERS WANT FROM HIM?

― Alex in SF, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:37 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously though, Bonds is either on the greatest drugs mankind has ever invented or he's the greatest sporting freak of nature ever (except for maybe Lance Armstrong who also might have been on the greatest drugs mankind has ever invented obv.) Throwing up #s like this at 42 is just flat out ridiculous.

― Alex in SF, Sunday, 6 May 2007 00:46 (nineteen years ago)

Look at the center column on this page:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/leaders_42_bat.shtml

Bonds has already broke the record for IBBs and is currently tied at #6 with Dave Winfield and Hank Aaron (his last season) with 10 HRs in a season started at age 42. The record is 18 by Carlton Fisk.

― Steve Shasta, Monday, 7 May 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

Haha so for a lark I watched some Larry Biel hosted fantasy minute thing on Yahoo! and one of the guys they had on was like "DUMP BONDS CUZ THERE IS NO WAY HE'LL EVER SUSTAIN THIS AND YOU CAN GET JOHAN SANTANA" which is good advice if you can get Johan, I guess (hell I don't know much about fantasy baseball, but getting the best pitcher in the world seems like a good deal esp. since Barry doesn't play every day and I guess walks don't count in some leagues or something) but I had to wonder what guy this dude watched from 2000 to 2004 that he wouldn't or couldn't believe Barry can't keep hitting like this.
