Bonds is saying that this will be his last season regardless of whether or not he gets the 48 to set the all time home run record. It's a full on countdown... I guess I'm gonna have to hit every Padres/Giants game from here on out.
Barry Bonds on the fact that he didn't lose 20-30 pounds over the offseason:
"Thank you for all of your criticism. Thank you for dogging me. The latest thing is that ESPN says that Barry is still big. They say I didn't lose weight. Well, you know what? I am still big. I'm fat [6 feet 2, 230 pounds]. I can't do much. I can't train like I used to. So the weight stays. I'm just not a skinny person, dude, I'm not. I never will be.
"So what [are] they going to say now? Are they going to say, 'Wow, I guess it can't be steroids anymore because he didn't lose all that weight?' Or are they going to be mad that I'm fat. Come on, which one is it?"
That's a good card. I seen Barry play the race card before, but now he's all about playing the fat card. Barry used to give Tony Gwynn grief about getting fat towards the end of the Gwynn's career and now here's Barry at the end of his career with karma biting him in his fat ass.
I'm going to feel a little bad about it, but when Barry is playing, I'm going to have to give him the fat heckle. I don't feel good about making fun of fat people, but it's what has to be done.

F that guy
I'm so excited this will be his last season. There is no way he breaks Hank's record! No freakin' way!Jonny Dub - February 19, 2006
If he really does retire............
SWWEEeEET I hope he actually does retire. I hope he does retire..... poof! (hes gone)!!!!!!!!!!!!slodown4me - February 20, 2006
dang.....
Well now he said with an interview with MLB.com that "if my knee holds out I'll keep playing," and that "I'm playing mind games with myself."What I say to this is !!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LET HIS KNEE GO OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! I FREAKING HATE HIM!
slodown4me - February 21, 2006
Y'know
Even if you hate the man, it's pretty mean to wish him harm.:)

......................uhh...
okay....maybe that was a little harsh! :)slodown4me - February 21, 2006
Step Further
I'd like to see that knee blow out on the field going after a ball. The batter will score an inside home run and everyone will laugh at Berry.Jonny Dub - February 21, 2006
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be great! Maybe that should happen in Los Angeles. Us Padre fans would give him a hard time, but not nearly as much as the fans in blue up north! That would be awesome (except for the inside the park homerun if it was for the Dodgers)...... but maybe I am a little to harsh on the fatty fat fat man.slodown4me - February 21, 2006
maybe
ya'll can do your Gaslamp at the ballpark thing when the Giants visit and take turns throwing bags of nickels at the man.gophersw @ Gaslamp Ball - February 21, 2006
Yeah! except.................
I don't live in San Diego.....but you could all do that with each other! It would be fun! I really think that nickels would work!!!!! Great idea gophersw......... :) ;)slodown4me - February 21, 2006
I don't
live there either, but that is the kind of shit you book a flight for...gophersw @ Gaslamp Ball - February 21, 2006
What about...
loading your shotgun with Dimes. They did that in Young Guns 2, so you must be able to do it.jbox - February 21, 2006
maybe..............
that might work! :) god....if you did have a gaslamp night against the Giants, I just might come down!....... :)slodown4me - February 21, 2006
Last September
Went to a game last September and sat behind Bonds in Left. Everyone was riding him. It was great. The best part were these dudes who brought a ton of siringes (SP?) and threw them at him.Jonny Dub - February 22, 2006
Syringes
Here's pics of that:Syringe Pictures

Wow!
holy crap.....that musta been great! i can just imagine it "Barry Bonds Dies because Syringe was Dirty and He get Infection!"..... good lord!slodown4me - February 22, 2006
I'll go ahead
and point out that I really doubt anyone at Gaslamp is advocating throwing sharp objects (or blunt objects, or plaid objects) onto the field of play.Right?
Right?
Oh... well then I guess go ahead and heave away.
gophersw @ Gaslamp Ball - February 22, 2006
:) no
I don't advocate it, and obviously I wouldn't ever do that (unless I got drunk and.....well you know)..... and I do not advocate it, in fact i even loathe it (maybe not when its at barry) :) ;)slodown4me - February 22, 2006
well,,
Gwynn wasn't solid muslce underneath that 'fat' at the tail end of his career. He was pretty much dough with a great batting eye.gophersw @ Gaslamp Ball - February 20, 2006
