Nischelle_Turner's Blog

hello nischelle,
well i am not a barry fan as i wrote in my blog about him. it is true what samo said it is not right he is beating a record and the reason he is beating it because he cheated and since when do we allow cheater to prosper. I will only be watching this weekend because i will be in San Francisco (dodgers verses giants) and this time i will be the one getting booed. are plan is to visit every stadium... well the only ones that the dodgers go to. so i might see him beat it but i do not care at all.

Nischelle;

Bonds is a puke.

Sure he passed Ruth,
Let's not forget Ruth was pitching when he started his career.
And Ruth's drugs of choice was beer, hot dogs,
and food in general.

Imagine what Bonds would do without
chemical enhancement.

Or what Arron or Mays
could have done with chemical enhancement.

Bonds will be in the in the hall of fame,
But it should be "The Chemical Hall of Fame"

ddain, i love your picture

YES,ALL OF ABOVE. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE HANK AARON KEEP HIS RECORD, SO IF IT IS BROKEN I AM GLAD TO SEE BARRY BONDS BREAK IT. IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN THAT HE WAS ON STERIODS SO UNTIL THEN GOOD LUCK BARRY. LOVE YOU GIRL!!

Hey Nischelle,

Tell Bro. Steve he came up with a great topic! Although this issue has been blown way out of porportion I do believe it's worthy of some discussion.

First, Bonds must be judged on the sum total of his career, not one snap shot. We don't know for sure if he used some type of drug enhancment or not. What we do know is that in the late 80's and 90's ball players, like Superman, were knocking balls out of the park!

The truth is, every era has its "sacred cow" and the era of B. Bonds and Co. is no different than previous eras.

Second, I'm sure before "certain drugs" were banned a lot of players used some type of drug enhancement. Of course when you step-up to the plate it's all about hand and eye coordination. You either have it or you don't. Don't get me wrong, there's no room for drugs in baseball or any other sport. Of course we all know that durgs and sports have been strange bed fellas that have been romantically connected for a very long time. Just keeping it real!

Third, outside of S.F. and maybe Pitt. Barry has always been public enemey number one...lol
Sure he's a confident and proud Black man (what's wrong with that? lol). Maybe that's why I have never disliked the guy. Of course as a dedicated self-respecting Dodger fan I don't want him to break the record against the boyz in Blue!

But seriously, racism is real in America and I'm sure some people dislike him because of the color of his skin. Hank Aaron experienced the same thing in the early 70's. Although they are different players from two different time periods they a

- Let me finish my thought -

Aaron and Bonds are similiar in that both men dared to break Baseball's most sacred record.

Hopefully Baseball will continue to bring the game back to the "Hood" because somewhere in South Central L.A., Chicago, D.C. ATL, the Big Easy, and Harlem there's a young man waiting to step-up to the plate and set a new homerun record. The number of African American men in the game of baseball has fallen from 28% (mid 1970') to 12%. That's a shame.

Finally, did Barry Bonds use a drug enhancement? I hope not. Of course in time the truth will come out if not in the wash it will certainly come out in the rinse.

P.S. Don't forget to pray for the Troops.

BARRY BONDS IS TO STEROIDS WHAT MICHAEL JACKSON IS TO PLASTIC SURGERY..

Wow! Thia does seem to be a great topic. I do have some thoughts on this but the funny thing is I honestly haven't made upmy mnd about Barry Bonds...here is why...I have friends on both sides of the aisle when it comes to him. I have never met him but I have friends who a very close to him and, of course, think he is a great guy. Then I have friends who have had bad run-ins with him. I respect and trust all of their opinions so I'm torn.

To let you allknow I am one of those people who feel like if you are going to asterisk Barry that is fine but you should do that with all records in question INCLUDING those before baseball was integrated.

I also think that the media DOES somewhat shape how we feel about athletes and if Barry had a different realtionship withthe media I believe fans would have a little different view of him. Whether or not that is his fault I don't know

Hi Nischelle,
I don't like baseball. I just wanted to say hello. Keep up the good work. Your doing a good job with Steve and Dorthy.

What's the point in arguing this stuff...?

Let's just go to the game and enjoy it for what it is...entertainment.

I like watching women eat hot dogs.
