So who is going to be watching the Giants games for the next week?
ChadTower:
I'm mostly of the opinion that any of the excessive records of the past 20 or so years are pretty much tainted. Not just the homerun records. There were a lot of "holy crap never thought we'd see that" records in baseball in the steroid era. Most of them are pitching records, too.
Are drugs that are within the rules cheating? Steroids were not against the rules for most of his career. You also have to figure steroids don't win you gold gloves. Bonds has like 9 gold gloves.
Chris G:
I hate baseball, but it might be worth watching in case there are some good brawls in the stands over the homerun balls again.
CCM:
I hate baseball too, so I won't be watching. I can honestly say that I haven't watched as much as a single inning of baseball this year.
mccoy178:
I'll watch just to see how many homeruns Arod is gonna need to pass him someday.
billf:
Looks like Barry Bonds has 8 gold gloves:

Not surprisingly the last one was in 1998 about the time he started bulking up. I believe he's a huge liability in the field now.
Of course Bonds will break the record eventually. I certainly won't go out of my way to see him hit 755 or 756.
If I was a head coach of the opposing team this season, I'd intentionally walk him or drill'em every time he was up to bat. Put him on base where he can't run and is really a liability. Hank Aaron will always be the home run king.
