Don't forget the Shrub has been 16 years removed from the Rangers, but ...

[El Supremo]

this asshole is still revered as a god in Frisco.


Throwing out the first pitch last week to a chorus of cheers.

[joeybee12]

1. The Lakers fans love Kobe, Pitt love Ben Rapelisberger, Philly loves

that murderous thug...it's really sad how much people will overlook when the dick is on your own team.

And no, Curt never raeped or killed anything, or made a mockery if the game, so there isnt that comparison, although he is a dick.

[MrSlayer]

12. Philly does NOT love Vick.

You aren't here so please refrain from speaking for us. He is hated here and is an embarrassment. I never cheered one of my own players getting hurt until Vick. It's just a shame we didn't have Jackson last week else Kolb would have nailed down the starting job for the rest of the year. We hate Vick.

[Condem]

2. LOL!! Nice try, El!!

[Upton]

3. Who did more harm to this country...Bush or Bonds?

I'm sure the Rangers "daddy" will be seen is in his accustomed seat next to Nolan Ryan when the series returns to Arlington. Where he'll receive a thunderous ovation from the overwhelming red Rangers crowd...

You're on the wrong side of this one my friend. Perhaps it would be in your best interest if you limited the discussion to just the baseball.

4. March 21, 2011

Eleven felony counts?

[madinmaryland]

5. I hear he is going to be indicted in "24 business hours". nt

[El Supremo]

6. He wa indicted in 2007.

Mug shot from then:

8. Bonds was as bad for baseball

As Bush was to this country. I love baseball, so I hate cheating dickweeds who ruin it as much as I hate lying slimy incompetent politicos.

[tigereye]

7. seriously - Bush is way worse than Bonds...

and had infinitely more power. :shrug:


Go Giants!

[TZ]

9. So if you are a real baseball fan you just should ignore

the people who knowingly cheated and damaged something that you love? Fuck that shit. Bonds can go to hell and any and all the suck ups in SF don't deserve any respect from me.
Personally, I think Josh Hamilton is much more admirable than any SF player anyway.

[tigereye]

11. well, i personally think it's the public's fault for glorifying athletic prowess

too much. (and the media) We heap adulation on athletes who perform really well, many players feel they can't compete without enhancements, and then everyone is horrified when they do use substances.

:shrug: We want to have our cake and eat it, too. And there's a bit of hypocrisy in endlessly creating more and more punishments for athletes and criminalizing things that many athletes did in the past with no consequences other than physical ones. I don't like it. It becomes a Catch 22- and then we villify the athletes that we were salivating over the year before.


I don't like what Bonds has allegedly done, but the pressure to perform created a monster to some extent.

[petronius]

10. Frisco is a city in Texas - why do they care about Bonds?

:shrug:

[AsahinaKimi]

13. Good One... I checked the map..

No Frisco here in California. People think there must be this Mythical place called FRISCO in California that has Unicorns and Trolls. Sorry, no place like that here.

[rpannier]

14. Bonds rocks and Dumb-ya sucks

Go Giants.

BTW: It's San Francisco

[NBachers]

15. AT&T Park in San Francisco, the world's most beautiful baseball stadium, would never have been built

without the power Barry Bonds brought to the game.

"I left my heart
In what the squares call Frisco"

Good luck getting someone of Tony Bennett's Class, Caliber, or Talent to sing about arlingtomb.

"Yee Squawk! Here come Cowboy Bob and his Tea Gag Five! Lookit them belt buckles!"

How'dja like that shutout of the Bush Rangers tonight?
