This post made me so angry, I almost went into Roid Rage!  

The fact that Bonds is the new home run leader makes me want to vomit.

Sorry PB, I am with you most of the time, but damn....

A little bit of my soul just died.  I will say, though, that I'm not more disgusted with Barry than I am with the MLB in general.  To me, Barry just represents what the MLB has represented in recent years.

I am so tired of hearing people say how "sick" they are, or how this makes them want to "vomit".  Please, do you really care that much?  No, you don't, stop being so dramatic.

I am not "sick" or about to "vomit" but I am irritated.  About Barry Bonds' 756th or steroids?  No.  Irritated that this seems to have been the one place I could go where I could read about the only sports that really matter (to me anyway), Longhorn sports, and not be bombarded with the Barry Bonds talk.  If I hear the phrase, "Most hallowed record in all of sport" one more time, I won't "vomit", but I might spit.

Damnit, I guess I'll just have to http://icanhascheezburger.com/ until all this blows over.

One thing I really like from the highlight, is how Barry almost completely snubs his own son at home plate.  It's almost like he is not even there.  He gets to home plate, his son runs up and hugs him.  Does Barry hug back?  Hah, no, he points to the sky, then goes over to his teammates.  Seriously, watch the video.

Can we move on now?

When it comes to player discipline, honor, rules and the like, you seem to typically have great perspective. Here you are with a blog dedicated to the Horns ... and you rarely if ever fall into the typical fan traps. You don't make excuses for Horn players' bad behaviors, and you hold Mack's feet to the fire.

Yet with Bonds, you have this bizarre hero worship thing going on. You hold him to a lesser standard than a bunch of 18-year-old kids wearing orange.

You said, "You don't always choose your heroes. Sometimes they just happen to you." That is, as you said, irrational. And also juvenile. I love VY, but if he were caught up in criminal activity ala Michael Vick, you can bet he wouldn't be a sports hero to me any more.

Far as I'm concerned, Bonds didn't break any record. Cause he cheated and lied about it, plain and simple. I don't care if MLB turns a blind eye, or "everybody does it." True heroes hold themselves to high standards. Clearly, this guy does not.

that PB would have a post about this.  Grats to you PB.  It is always nice to celebrate your childhood heroes.  I wish that I could find something in this record to be proud of.  

He also had some personal failings, but he inspired a generation with his play. If I were a kid today, I'm sure Bonds would be my guy. Bravo!

A question for those upset about the steroids: what is your opinion on Lasik surgery?

Craig Biggio. Everything you always want in a man and an athlete.  I'm not ragging on anyone else, but his 3000 means more (to me of course) than Bonds or Glavine hitting their marks.  

But I'm not gonna take anything away from PB since it is HIS blog and he does provide me with my daily Longhorns fix.  

He'll most likely retire after this season, but hot on his tail is Alex Rodriguez, who just became the youngest player to ever hit 500 HR.  Behind him is Pujols, who could also take a run at it, assuming he's really 27 and not 35 like he looks.

So, even if you think Bonds cheated, don't worry.  His record will be broken.  Let him have his moment until we start all this hype over again in seven or eight years.
