Do you think Bonds is making a statement by sitting out tonight?

TomorrowsNewspaper · May 6, 2007

MLB doesnt want to recognize his achievements. The commish wont be there when he breaks the record. ESPN has torn him apart.

Is this his way to get back by sitting out a prime time game? Has to hurt the ratings.

Might hurt Choptalk more than ESPN.

The pitching matchup tonight alone will bring out the viewers. Hamels vs Lincecum(sp) is as good as it gets for young arms in this league. Should be a great game.

Go Giants.

I wouldnt watch this game just because Barry Roid is playing.

I am sure most outside bay area will still watch this game as planned.

Go away Barry...far fn away

No one cares

TomorrowsNewspaper · May 6, 2007

Like him or hate, most want to watch him and see what he does next

There's still alot of people who could careless what barry bonds does. A-Rod is the all-time home run hitter so even when barry does break the record he's only borrowing it.

It's not barrys record, but he can have it for a little while. That's why MLB could careless if he breaks it. Doesn't matter!

And ESPN loves barry! If it wasn't for ESPN alot of this barry bonds talk WOULD go away! They won't let up on this scumbag drug user who plays baseball.

The average fan has no idea who they are. If they don't see Barroid, they won't watch, plain and simple.

I hate to tell you this.....but alot of people could careless about Bonds. How many homeruns has he hit this year? I dont have a clue and I am one of many that feel the same. Sorry to burst your bubble.

If only there was something he could take that would allow his body to recover quicker.

Bochy said yesterday that Bonds was going to sit because he needed rest, and that nothing Barry said could talk him out of sitting him.

gijoe · May 6, 2007

He's an old man. Just the same words he used when he found out Hank wasn't going to be at the ball park to see him break his record.

Dr.Pepper · May 6, 2007

for those who follow the nl west - you will know him not playing on a sunday is nothin out of the ordinary. this is what bonds does every sunday.

theticket_22 · May 6, 2007

Not playing gets him more attention. If he didn't like attention he could of just retired last year.

CapNWatch · May 7, 2007

This has nothing to do with the media. I thought he was going to sit this one out...played 7 in a row and faces a tough lefty....easy call.

TomorrowsNewspaper · May 7, 2007

He always takes the Sunday game off. I was hoping to get a rise out of a few, guess not. You guys are too sharp for that.
