Asterisk indeed!

[tallhappy]

This is just wrong.

[Echo Talon]

how many steroids did Ruth take?

[fnord]

I dont think the hotdogs had steroids back then

[JRios1968]

I guess the Clomid and cow steroids are working again!

The San Francisco Giants' slugger hit a mammoth shot in the sixth inning off Philadelphia right-hander Jon Lieber, sending a 2-1 pitch off the steroid advertisement on the facade of the right-field upper deck during a 9-5 loss to the Phillies.

[Ruth A.]

Maybe it also has something to do with allegations of steroid use by Bonds and baseball's probe into whether he took performance-enhancing drugs. <

Yep, this is all void. He doesn't deserve any ovations for the home runs he cranks.

How many stolen bases did Babe Ruth have? Bonds has 500.

Meanwhile, the Giants are in last place in the division, Moises Alou's hurt, the ERA is the worst in the league, and we're staring a 5 game deficit straight in the face. Strange as it seems, Barry is the tip of the iceberg right now.

As a Giants fan, it sucks to be us most of the time, but it just sucks worse tonight. :(

*Sigh* Go Giants, I guess.

[BreitbartSentMe]

If I were the one to catch the ball that Bonds hits to break the record, I would announce that bidding starts now to see who wants the honor of dropping the ball into a shredder.

[stillonaroll]

How many black or Latin pitchers did Babe Ruth face in his career?

[kinoxi]

What amazes me is if you watch Costas Now this past week with a roundtable of former players...they ALL said including Mike Schmidt that if steroids were popular and around when they played...they would have taken them as well.

All defenders of Barry.

I for one think he probably did roid up...but what he is accomplishing in the last 2-3 years under so much scrutiny...I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he is passing Ruth's record on legit power and talent.
