Bonds hits 756!




He's done it folks! Minutes before the clock struck Midnight here in New York City, Barry Lamar Bonds hit his 756th career homerun, breaking the prestigious record held by baseball great "Hammer" Hank Aaron.

How do I feel about it? Disgusted. Call me disrespectful. Blame it on my hater-like traits. It's something that I'm known notoriously for. I've admitted, time and time again. I am a hater. But always with good reason though. (Most of the time)

A record, rich with pride and history tainted with uncertainty and scandal. It could have been any other player who broke the record. I would of given them the same amount of props, and their share of respect. Just do it fairly.

Bonds supporters would say:
"Stop fucking hating! He never tested positive for steroids."
Your boy tested positive for amphetamines last season. The Giants slugger claimed to have taken the cream unknowingly of its effects. Really Barry? You didn't feel the need to question your trainer when you saw yourself getting unusually swole for a man your age? Unknowingly huh? Fuck that, you chose to ignore what the clear cream was that his trainers were rubbing you down with. We're not as stupid as you think.

Furthermore, the pre-recorded statement by Hank Aaron was nonetheless a classy gesture, from a classy individual. I'll admit that I was annoyed when I heard they were going to delay the game further, for a message from a "special individual." If anything, I'd like to give congrats to Hank Aaron, for having to see his record be unfairly taken away from and not throwing a bitch-fit.



By the way, I had the television tuned in live. At the same time, Brian had sent me a video on AIM, prompting me to press the mute button on my remote. By the time the video concluded, I turn my head to the t.v., and see a flashing IM indicator on my screen. "bonds homered."
"jus now."

Fucking owned? Wow, I missed a piece of history for this!



Thanks Brian.
