Bonds: Can he hit 800?

Whatever he finishes with, A-Rod will crush.

Sure he can, all he has to do is start the special flax seed oil he gets from his buddy Victor.

If I was a pitcher and Bonds was one away I wouldn't pitch to him. I'd walk him everytime...or "accidently" bean him..:)

I agree...its almost silly making a big deal about Bonds HR record chase with Arod on pace for like a 1000. but you never know...when i was younger we all though thomas or griffey would break the record. Griffey ended up having injury after injury....although he may still be able to get in the 700's if he stays healthy the way he's playing. Thomas had foot problems year after year and just now reached 500. So there are no guarantees with Arod but he seems like a sure thing.

No way he reaches 800... have you seen Bonds play? He can barley stand up straight in left field.

He really needs to move over to the American League and DH. This is the only way he can really keep on playing.

If you 'accidentally beaned' a 'roided out, 230 pounds of jacked up beef (and ill-tempered to boot) Barry Bonds, you had better hope you've earned enough respect from your teammates for them to have your back. I'm just saying...

griffey could still get the record. i'm not saying it's likely but he's got his groove back stella style.

hell no bonds is a Dinasour he will be a flash in the pan just like mcquire........once a rod and Pujols pass him no one will remember him as anything less than the cheater he is

I agree...but alot has to go right for him...for starters staying healthy. He has such a sweet swing he could go on for years if he can come to play. Theres never been a doubt that griffey might have been the greatest ever, sadly he has gone through a lot...starting with that amazing catch that broke his wrist.

I just have this inclination that Bonds is only sticking around to break the record. I don't see him hanging around for much longer after he does it. In either case, I'll be more then happy to see him go and less then happy when he breaks the record.

Man, I'm as big a Griffey Jr. fan as there is, but we've got to be realistic. He'll be 38 in November, and as of today he's still 170 HRs behind Hank Aaron. With as injury prone as he has been the last 6 years, I can't see how anyone could think he could still get past 700 HRs even. He'll likely finish with 600 something and a rightful place in the Hall of Fame. But, those injuries and all those games missed did him in as far as getting a career HR record. If he ends up being some freak of nature who can keep the injuries at bay and play until he's 44, then maybe, but I don't think that's happening.

Those cowardly punks are already walking him about every time. His on-base percentage is still ridiculous. If he had enough protection in the lineup that they actually had to pitch to him, he'd be among the league leaders in HR and RBIs.

By the time bonds could run to the mound, you could have taken several laps around the stadium, I wouldn't worry about Baroid whooping anyone's ass. Just go Nolan Ryan on him.

On what basis do you assume he's not cheating?

b/c his hat size hasn't increased by 5 sizes in 2 years

he is a cheater. he has been on so many drugs he cant even move anymore.

If I was a pitcher and had to face Barry Bonds, I would bean that cheating bastard in the head with a fastball and hopefully end his career.
