yankeeman161 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well, Unless you've been under a rock for most of the season or realized how poorly the San Francisco Giants have played, you've noticed something missing from the Giants' lineup: one Barry Bonds. Bonds has not played most of this season, still recovering from off season knee surgery. It was a guessing game about when Barry would return. Some thought by the All Star break, after the All Star Break, or by this month to build on his 703 home runs and pass Babe Ruth for second on the all time list.Well you can count out seeing Barry Bonds play in 2005.A few hours ago, MLB.com reported that Barry will not play at all in the 2005 season. So, we have to wait till next year to see Bonds reach 715.Here's the story: Major League Baseball : News : Major League Baseball NewsNow in my personal opinon, I think Barry Bonds has been hiding from the steroid controversy and was using his knee injury to look for symphany from the press and the fans to back off from him and to get other players. Well Barry gets NO symphany from me and you know, if he wants the fans to get behind him again in his quest for 755, just take the steroid test and take ur lumps if it's positive. Running from the problems will ony make people doubt you more and when and if he gets to 755, he will be the most hated player in the game. THE TOUGHEST S.O.B. IN THE CCSLC!Satan Lives!

NJTank Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well its getting late in teh season it would not make sense for him to just play 1 month any way. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashouser27 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I think you are right. He is hiding and waiting for all of this to blow over. The problem is he is getting old. I don't see him playing for the Giants. I see him finishing up as a DH somewhere (Tampa Bay?)I don't think he will ever catch Aaron. It will be a tragedy if he passes Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclopsis Joe Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 You know tahst possible there were rumors the year and half Jordan sat out in NBA it was because of his gambling. What?I'll agree with the others about Bonds taking a break to flush the steroids from his system. I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me.
