Title: 756. Post by: stroh on July 20, 2007, 05:44:34 AM Will you watch?
I'm not talkin' about catchin' it on Sports Center later. Everyone will see it at some point. A dedicated effort to watch history being made? Or refusal to acknowledge it what so ever? I'll probably make an effort to see it live. Title: Re: 756. Post by: Aske on July 20, 2007, 05:50:00 AM i'll watch, just to see if fans starting pelting him with trash
Title: Re: 756. Post by: JDerion on July 20, 2007, 06:02:48 AM I'll watch by chance, but I doubt that I'll seek it out.
Title: Re: 756. Post by: Walfredo on July 20, 2007, 07:34:07 AM I'll try and catch it. I was actually a Bonds fan growing up so I'm not a hater. I'll be rooting for it to happen.

Title: Re: 756. Post by: Clive on July 20, 2007, 08:07:00 AM It's history, one way or the other. I can see deliberately avoiding it, but it's not like my life lets me be glued to the tube, either. Probably have the games PIP while watching the Open coverage.

Sitting on 753?

not to mention after that, he's got 7 games in SF, probably the only place fans would cheer him. "Bonds is batting .363 with 21 homers and 57 RBIs in 58 games against the Brewers. He has six home runs and is hitting .351 (20-for-57) in 18 games at Miller Park, but was 1-for-6 with a double when San Francisco was swept there June 18-20." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/previews/2007/07/20/17266_preview.html Title: Re: 756.

Title: Re: 756. Post by: stegerman on July 20, 2007, 11:38:49 AM Add his 9 post-season HR's (which I have never been able to figure out why they don't count) and he already surpassed the record..

Post by: birdymaker on July 20, 2007, 12:06:16 PM Add his 9 post-season HR's (which I have never been able to figure out why they don't count) and he already surpassed the record.. because official records have to be on an even basis, same # of games.

Not to really argue, because I honestly could care less, but fair doesn't really play into it. I understand how official records are kept, but that part makes no sense. One league has a DH and one does not, so should the records for pitchers be kept separate with no overall record? After all, maybe I break that strike out record because I picthced against pitchers my entire career. Those extra 'easy' outs count just as much as striking out a good hitter. Maybe strike outs against pitchers shouldn't count? Additionally, HOF votes definately take into consideration post-season play. It doesn't make sense, if he hit them, he hit them. In my mind, he already brroke the record. Again, don't really care, I'm just sayin'. No worries.. Title: Re: 756. Post by: worst_golfer_ever on July 20, 2007, 01:40:52 PM I'm with Aske -- Bonds will wait until he gets home before breaking (maybe even meeting) the record, unless he starts to run out of home games. He did it before with prior, more minor, records.
