Lots did...he is just better at it.

He will be brought down at some point in time. Whether it be for perjury to the Grand jury or solid evidence of doing them....he will at some point be stricken from the record book.

That is a day I will celebrate.

Til then...good for him.

I don't care what anyone says, Hank Aaron is still the homerun king. To have your homerun record stolen by a cheater must make Mr. Aaron sick. If only Bonds had stayed clean!

[transplant99]

I dont even care that he did steroids...i have a feeling MOST were for a while there.

I care that he has lied about doing them...its insulting to my intelligence when he says he never "knowingly" took them.

I dont need a blood test to prove it either...i have two eyes and I saw what he once looked like when he was one of the best players in the game without hitting 60 bombs a year.

When a guy puts on 40 lbs of muscle, his head grows 3 sizes, and most damningly, his foot size went up 3 sizes as well...at the age of 35....then dnies he had any foreign substances assisting him, he is a lying sack of crap that deserves what is coming to him. Both through MLB and in his health woes sure to follow.

McGwire, Sosa, Palmeiro and many other all fall in the same category as well.

Roger Maris and Hank Aaron still hold the biggest records in baseball in my mind.

If this had been done pure, without the illegal substances, the lies, the ego maniac that is Barry Bonds, this would be one of the most historic night in all of sports.

[HOOT]

I just want him to beat it so they can shut up about it on Sportscentre and Sportsnet...

Hopefully there is an asterix besides Bonds name when he breaks the record.

I also agree with Tranny in the fact that he wil be brought down eventually.

Not a good day for baseball.

i just don't see how he can be brought down, what proof will there be? everyone knows he cheated, but hard evidence, tough to find.

Give it time.

There are still a bunch of people that can talk that haven't (including Anderson).....and teammates and others close to him. Guys still making money and dont want to jeopardize their livlihood.

Stuff like this always comes out in time....

I'm actually starting to enjoy this Barry Bonds circus mainly because of all the haters. They boo when he hits and they boo when he gets walked. Records are made to be broken, and don't worry all of you Bonds haters, his record will be broken as well and probably within the decade. Funny thing is that when it's time for Bond's record to be broken I'm sure that a whole new breed of haters will follow the next one, who will most likely be ARod.

Congrats to Barry Bonds for tying the record and for having a strong pair of shoulders to keep walking out there to do his thing while so many are hating his guts.

Believe me....Im not worried one iota.

Lots already hate him...but not because he lied and cheated. Big difference.

Congrats to Barry Bonds for tying the record and for having a strong pair of shoulders to keep walking out there to do his thing while so many are hating his guts.

yup...he is a real role model for kids. :O

Thankfully Bonds won't get to enjoy his record for as long as Aaron did. A Rod hit his 500th today and I suspect he will surpass Bonds in the near future.

Yeah with 500 today, whats Rodriguez going to need to surpass Bonds? Maybe get to what like 765 if this is his last year so that means Rodriguez will need another 265. Which at 35 dingers a year will take him just over 7 seasons. It's something he has a shot at. Hopefully for the sake of Baseball he does it. ARod doesn't have the best rep in baseball, but I think he's a lot more honest than Bonds is.

Anderson -- who later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and money laundering and served three months in prison -- originally decided which drugs Bonds would use, according to the excerpt. Bonds began using Winstrol after the 1998 season, the excerpt says, with Anderson supplying the steroids and syringes and usually injecting Bonds in the buttocks.

Bonds added 15 pounds of solid muscle that off-season, going from 210 pounds to 225, and enjoyed standing in front of a mirror and laughing as he asked, "How do I look?"

When Bonds arrived at spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1999, the excerpt says, those around the Giants began calling him "the Incredible Hulk."

Team management wondered what exactly he had done to so strikingly reshape his body, but the excerpt suggests owner Peter Magowan and other Giants officials "had no interest in learning" whether he was using steroids.

Soon after Pacific Bell Park opened in 2000, according to the excerpt, the Giants ordered unofficial background checks on Bonds' three personal trainers -- Anderson, stretching coach Harvey Shields and running coach Raymond Farris -- who regularly roamed the team's clubhouse so they could respond to any Bonds request.

Those background checks revealed that World Gym, now known as Diesel Fitness, "was known as a place to score steroids," the excerpt says, "and Anderson himself was rumored to be a dealer." But the Giants did not act on this information because they "didn't want to alienate Bonds on this issue, either," according to the excerpt.

During the Seattle game they were talking about how Bonds wants to play 2-3 more years but go to Oakland as a DH so he doesn't have to feild. So who knows how many he can get, I wouldn't be suprised if he goes to a AL he could get to 800 if he goes 2 more years past this one.

Who knows, even if Bonds "cheated" it is still an impressive record to break. Are you going to take away scoring titles or put * beside them because we learn they used an illegal curve in their stick?

Thread title should've read "Bonds hits 755*"

I hate barroids, he's a big reason I don't watch baseball anymore.
