D) Place in high-speed pitching machine, shoot it off my face.

ooh - i like that one!

it wasn't 20M this year?

How about 8 + incentives?

-- Dr Morbius, Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:19 PM (5 hours ago)

it was $15.8 plus $5 in incentives (based on criteria which his agent says he easily surpassed).

yeah i voted brand. though it really should be six or seven brands, so if it ever makes it to a display case, the hof can't obscure it

where's that Gaylord Perry-Whitey Ford-Don Sutton brand?

boooooring come on space space is an awesome place.

apparently the hall can agreed to not obscure the brand in any way

has agreed

that sucks, i guess Bonds will be taking all of his gear back from the HOF....

Gilbert Areans, I love you even more.

"Like, who are you? Are you Superman?" is so totally my new shutdown comeback.

i'm not even sure who that guy is but i like the cut of his jib

heguag (Louisville): Where does Barry play in '08?

Gary Huckabay: Anaheim, for the league minimum, after ARod signs there, and they trade for Johan Santana.

If you're 756 Ball fuckin', I ain't inductin'.

no surprise there

Can't watch this at work, but wtf is my first instinct.

i like his "Barry Bonds" jersey.

i hope he just wears that next season.

Tampa Bay is preparing an offer.

Barry Bonds is the Devil Ray?

He should go to Japan and break Oh's record.

Gah.

Lolarussa wanted him but management said NO.

What was the general feeling among Cardinal fans about signing him? I think the thing that might have turned Beane off was that A's die-hards seemed so resolutely opposed to the idea.

kenny rogers era right now is 6.66

Players' association says teams acted in concert to not sign Bonds

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3647779

well, no kiddin'. America shrugs.

The star witness is his agent?

I believe they colluded. Anyone here think he'll try to play in '09 or is he really done?

He should sprinkle some hgh on his nutsack and get busy in the offseason.

I think he's done.

:( poor guy.

SF_Giants San Francisco Giants
.@nbcbayarea is reporting Barry Bonds has offered to pay for Bryan Stow's children's college education. #SFGiants

The Stow family is suing the Dodgers for liability and they want the dodgers to repay everyone who donated to the cause.. Except Barry Bonds cuz hes ok.

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/25/barry-bonds-snags-a-ball-has-a-great-time-at-giants-padres-game

that ball should probably be taken away from him, he clearly doesn't deserve it

LookoutLanding Jeff Sullivan
There were 415 pitchers against whom Barry Bonds went hitless. Against those pitchers, he posted a .331 OBP

LookoutLanding Jeff Sullivan
For the record, that is 0-for-739, with 357 walks and 13 HBPs

...

Laugh, Barry, laugh.

Puke, world, puke.

I still can't believe these lines were written by a supposed journalist and were published on an actual news site.

Bonds is into cycling now

(insert PED joke here)

All 74 of Barry Bonds's playoff plate appearances in 2002

Bonds reached base 43 times. He had eight homers, scored 18 runs, and drove in 16. He hit .356, even though his BABIP was .242. His OBP was .581 and he slugged .978.

good story on bonds in retirement: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/63887128

Barry Bonds had a 5.000 OPS against 23 pitchers, including Guillermo Mota, whom he faced nine times.

Do you have to pay extra for the play index, or do I just not know how to use it? Fascinating looking through that list.

1) Against Atlanta's big three: Smoltz (.284/.467/.701), Glavine (.329/.442/.588), Maddux (.262/.370/.485)

2) I think the first good-to-great pitcher to show up on the list (in a decent sample) who was owned by Bonds is Tim Hudson (.407/.500/1.000)

3) Couldn't hit David Cone at all (.175/.267/.275)

4) By Bonds's standards, basically a draw vs. Randy Johnson (.306/.452/.551); hardly went to bat against Clemens, Pedro, or Mussina

Name the five guys who finished ahead of Bonds in 1986's ROY voting.

Includes: one (almost?) borderline HOF'er, one future MVP, one pretty good career reliever, a good middle infielder, and one flaky guy of no consequence whatsoever.

Roger McDowell is career reliever, right?

Trying to remember who even won NL that year.... Canseco was AL.

Completely forgot that was Worrell's rookie year. For some reason I thought it was 87 (when he was so dominant).

You've got Worrell. Geographically speaking, you should have an easy time with three of the other four.

Yeah I looked. Honestly I don't remember that regular season that much (the next year was when I started following A's games religiously) but I definitely remember the post-season.
