Bonds Hit More HRs Than Anyone & You Need To Accept That
Whether you like it or not, Barry Bonds holds the record for most home runs in a season and most home runs in a career.
Barry Bonds is baseball’s home run king.
Worry about whether or not Selig knew bonds was doing roids or not (that’s a piece by fellow Mets Policeman Cyclones Fan).
You can place Barry in the Hall of Infamy with Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose. Personally I think Bonds & Rose should be in , I will pass judgment on Jackson because I didn’t see him play.
You can boo Barry when you see him on the street. You can throw away your Bonds jersey. You can erase your VCR tape of him hitting #73.
You need to accept that he’s the King, and no asterisk or “voiding” of the record is going to change the fact that he hit more home runs than anyone.

More Springsteen-gate
Bruce Springsteen‘s E Street Band pre-recorded the music that was played during their Super Bowl half-time performance on Sunday (February 1), according to one of the event’s producers.
Apparently the only live element of the performance was the Boss‘ vocals, while the music was laid down ahead of time.
“The Super Bowl performances are all on tape,” producer of Super Bowl pre-game entertainment Hank Neuberger told the Chicago Tribune.
“There is no way you can set up a full band in five minutes with microphones, get all the settings right, and expect to get quality sound,” he said. “The Super Bowl has been doing that for years with virtually all the bands.”
Meanwhile, Consumerist (http://consumerist.com/) linked back to us about Springsteen’s letter to fans about the ticketmaster controversy. You can read that here: https://metspolice.com/2009/02/springsteen-talks-about-springsteen.html
…and this guy (http://springsteeninformationcenter.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/bruce-springsteen-class-action-suit-against-ticketmaster/) says he will start a class action suit against TM.
Don’t forget the Million Manny March 2 is tonight at 7 in front of SNY. 51st and 6th. Hopefully we can get back to writing about the Mets soon. As soon as they throw a ball or sign Manny.
Selig Knew Bonds Was Doing Roids
Court documents released today show that Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids up to 5 times during his home run tear between 2000 and 2006.
No real shock there. Seriously, anyone who didn’t believe Bonds was juiced probably also believes the world is flat.
The real news to come out of the unsealed documents is this:
June 4, 2003: MLB urine test originally negative; retested later by government it was positive for THG, clomiphene, exogenous testosterone
July 7, 2006: MLB urine test positive for D-amphetamine
So the first test by MLB they screwed up – fine, it happens. Although it is interesting that it happened to the person taht everyone knew was juicing.
The second test is big though. Bonds tested positive for steroids AFTER Bud Selig and MLB had instituted what it called a strong anti-steroid policy. Prior to the 2005 season, MLB stated that a first positive test would result in a MANDATORY 10 game suspension.
So why wasn’t Bonds suspended?
More importantly – at the time of the positive test Bonds had not yet passed Hank Aaron (I’m too lazy to look up the exact number he was behind, but it was about 25 or so).
Selig knowingly let a juiced player surpass Hank Aaron.
Bonds is guilty – and so is Selig.
Time for the commissioner to step down

Million Manny March 2 Tonight / Torre on Costas
Mets fans who still hold out hope for Manny Ramirez may want to attend tonight’s second “Million Manny March” which will be held at 7pm outside SNY headquarters. SNY is located on the corner of 51st Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan.
I’m still holding out hope and overanalyzing what Omar Minaya said the other day. My transcription of this video of Minaya quotes the Mets GM as sayng, “There’s not gonna be no more big move after this.” Could this be a Clinton-esque deliberate double negative? Maybe there is gonna be a big move? Sorry Mets fans, semantics are all I have left for you.
Bob Costas has joined the new MLB cable network to host specials and do some play by play. That’s a good hire. I like the idea of the channel, but they need to do something other than show the 2008 playoffs over and over. 125+ years of baseball and that’s all they have? How about making some “Yankeeography” type programs or dusting off some other games? I’d rather see a random 1974 Pirates-Cubs game than something recent.
Joe Torre will be Bob’s guest tonight at 8pm ET followed by Mexico vs. Puerto Rico in the Caribbean World Series. That’s a tournament that makes sense. Anyone excited for the World Baseball Classic?
