Let Me Get This Straight...

Just for the record, I noticed this yesterday but failed to actually realize the implications that lie within. You don't like Barry, obviously, nor do I so much, personally. But, he is the greatest baseball player ever, and no one save Pete Rose and maybe a handful of others have received the intense scrutiny of the media specifically targeted to derail the Bonds train. To derail the train that will super glue his name to the record books. A name that many in the media and baseball don't care to be associated with. Were this Mickey Mantle, or Joe D. we would be celebrating every night on SportsCenter and the front page of the local and national daily rags as well. Instead we are reduced to insulting the size of the guys dome...

I am truly grateful that you were able to support your point so well by quoting the ever so popular bastion of baseballing Raul Mondesi. He is quite frankly the most upstanding, team oriented, credible baseball player since Hose Canseco, or Alan Wiggins. You go on to further your point with an Al Davis reference.

Maybe Barry doesn't deserve our sympathies as a player. But far be it from me to attempt to ruin a man personally for the sake of ratings or a record book. You should all be ashamed of yourselves...
