September 13, 200521 yr 1) Are you excited to see Bonds return to the Giants' lineup? 53.8% No 46.2% Yes 2) Should Bonds have tried to return earlier to help keep morale up for a Giants team that won six games in a row and was fighting for a division title? 57.9% No, he would have only upset the chemistry. 42.1% Yes, he could have helped them avoid losing five of the next six. 3) If Bonds plays in all 20 remaining games for the Giants, how many home runs will he hit? 37.0% 3-4 31.4% 5-6 13.1% 1-2 12.4% 7 or more 6.1% 0 4) The Giants are seven games out of the NL West with 20 games to play. They have seven games against the division-leading Padres. How would you describe their chances? 40.8% Their chances of winning the division are slim to none. 36.9% They won't win the division. Take it to the bank. 22.3% They didn't have a shot then, but they do now with Bonds back. 5) If you attend any of the Giants' remaining games, how will you greet Bonds when he comes to the plate? 38.0% Boo 36.3% Cheer 25.7% Silence 6) Do you expect Bonds to play for the United States in the World Baseball Classic next spring? 88.3% No 11.7% Yes 7) Will Bonds (703 HRs) break Hank Aaron's all-time home run record (755) next season? 68.3% No 31.7% Yes Total Votes: 10,253 For the record, I am one of the people who contributed positive answers, because I always enjoyed watching Barry play. I guess I can separate his off the field behavior from his God-like level of play better than some, but I just have good memories of Bonds 73 HR season. I'll never forget watching the game against the Astros where they put up 4 fingers in his first few at-bats. He gets one pitch, one pitch and he drilled it out. I just remember thinking at the time how amazing that was. I'm not trying to start another steroids war/argument, but I'm just surprised that nearly 50% of people seem to agree with me, when the media would have you believe it's closer to 0%.

September 13, 200521 yr I don't like Bonds as a person, but I respect him as a ballplayer. First ballot HOF player even before he stuck his first needle into his butt.
September 13, 200521 yr Author I'm pretty sure it's a fact that Barry Bonds never stuck a needle in his butt. If he used a steroid at all, it was the cream and the clear.
