Breaking News: Barry Bonds Gone From Giants After This Year

6
Vote

by SSreporters

He is moving out of the Bay Area after his historic season as a San Francisco Giant. The team he has been with over a decade, and now he will leave the Giants after this year according to ESPN. Bonds broke Hank Aaron's HR record in August, and it left people wondering if he was going to retire after this year. Well he is apparently leaving San Fran, but it is unclear if he'll retire. Again, this is breaking news from ESPN, and they couldn't be happier.

In My opinion: I'm happy for him. The media scrutinizes him too much. You may say it's because he owns umpteen records, but that shouldn't matter. Jason Giambi, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, they all took steroids and they never got the same attention as he did. I love the way Barry handles the media like a total grouch, he is a Giants icon, but it will always be tainted because of the steroid scandal.

Barry Bonds has left the Bay Area.

If you didn't know this before the season started then you haven't been paying attention.

Yep, and how many times has it been kicked around just here on the Chair about how he was going to be gone and who would sign a defensively challenged, speed deficient, aging slugger?

Well there went my sports weekend. It's a crap load of Barry, all the time. I guarantee they'll show the final game Barry plays as a Giant on ESPN.

I don't mind Barry, I do hate that whenever a story of anything, it doesn't have to be Bonds, it dominates the news.

He's missed a week so far with a bruised toe which in fact is broken, the Giants home season has ended, he broke the HR record, what reason(s) does he have to play? Not only would I be shocked if he plays another game, I would be shocked if he even makes the road trip.

At least give him a parade the day after the Giants painfully end the year.

If he ends up with the A's then your first sentence is incorrect, nes pas?

And ever since Frank Thomas left, they need a defensively challenged, speed deficient, aging slugger.

Well, they shouldn't get too greedy. The A's did get rid of Milton Bradley, Clue, Risk, and Monopoly.

Well, there's Mike Piazza, and Jack Cust. Barry Bonds would definitely do good in that position.

In other news: the Giants have requested Julio Franco.

Sorry, a little ahead of myself on that one, Giants have five home games remaining. So he may pinch hit a couple times and may try and gut out a start on Tuesday or Wednesday. So I guess he gets his curtain call after all.

I don't think he's playing his last game in San Fran... Do the Yankees play there next year? Oh yeah, no DH in an NL park. oh, well...

Bonds has as much a chance of being a Yankee next season as ARod.

Time for Barry to embark upon a new career as a rider in the Tour de France. He deserves to be among "his kind"!

Tyrone, great comment about Tour de France..Bonds would fit in there with no problem. Wouldn't be surprised if he was on HGH this season.
