Why the Barry Bonds Ball should be...Blasted into Space

17
Vote

by Matt8288

I can see it now. Let's skip ten years ahead when Barry Bonds will buy his spaceship as it's interior tape recorder capture his girly malevolent voice yelling, "think you can steal my shit and blast it?!"

In wake of the recent poll that can send Barry Bonds' 756 to the hall of fame, brandish it with an asterisk, or blast it off the outter realms of the world, I thought I would share some thoughts on why this ball should be rocketed by NASA before voting ends on September 25th.

Barry Bonds weighed in with his opinion called Marc Ecko (The new owner of the homerun ball and the famous fashion designer) an idiot asking why he bought the ball in the first place. But his could be the start of something new for the fight against steroids..."Can't deal with HGH? Get blasted into Space!" Hank Aaron has to be out there somewhere smiling. Dan Brechlin, a journalist and friend of mine, mused his own slogan for Hank..."You taka his place, he'll send you to space!"

But most importantly, voting for something to be blasted into space simply for the fact that no one gives a rat's ass about it? Genious. If everyone took this approach, Britney Spears, Segways, the Marlins, and the Women's World Cup would all be chilling in orbit right about now. The only downside to the whole theory is that Al Sharpton and Donovan McNabb might team together and critisize why no white ballplayer's objects have been launched into orbit.

I know, I know...I forgot to mention blasting Kanye West. You would think he was on steroids because his heads bigger than Barry's. There's my two cents for the day.

OK, why? I mean... why does anyone really care?

It doesn't change the fact that Bonds did it. It doesn't affect him. All it does is waste valuable resources and energies that could SERIOUSLY be better directed...

"Dead" Tupac releases better sh*t than the pretenders and wannabes.

FYI - Ken Griffey just appeared to tear his groin (again) in the Wrigley outfield.

He insisted on walking off the field on his own. Is this the end?
