Welcome To Barry's Inferno
If it were possible to open the human mind and step inside, to shine a flashlight into the dark corners of the psyche and root around in our deepest anxieties, then you might possibly see what occurred in the left field bleachers of AT&T Park on Tuesday. Mets' fan Matt Murphy, as we all know by now,...
Barry Blogdome: Asterisk-esque!
What they're saying in Blogopolis about No. 756. We apologize for the use of that word, by the way. At least we didn't say "sphere."...
In The End, You Don't Feel Nothing
By now, we've all pretty much made our peace with it, though there was a little part of us today that wanted to not mention Barry Bonds until about 4 p.m., and then throw up a "holy crap, did you guys see what happened last night? We just noticed" post. We felt that would be too gimmicky, though no...
Have Barry Bonds' Arms Really Not Grown?
Yesterday, Editor & Publisher, of all places, ran a column saying Barry Bonds' elbow brace gives him an unfair advantage. Over at Baseball Prospectus, Will Carroll follows up and stumbles onto a scoop of his own....

Bonds Makes Everyone Smile
Forgive us for butting in on the weekend, but Barry Bonds just homered to tie Hank Aaron. So: Isn't that great? What a moment to bond us all. Update: You can see the video over at Awful Announcing....
The Long, Painful "March" To 755
We're not gonna make any predictions this time — and we promise, this is the last time we're gonna end a day with a Bonds post — but Barry Bonds might or might not give this another try tonight....
Is This The Night Bonds Finally Ends This?
Call us crazy, but we have a feeling Barry Bonds is going to tie and/or break this record tonight. We kind of want him to; we really can't take anymore. The quicker he does it, the quicker we can all move on with our lives. Plus, having him do it in front of the fanbase that hates him more than any...
Barry In Tampa ... What Might Have Been
As we continue our plodding march toward "history," a march that has taken so long that we can't even keep up our outrage anymore, we consider what might have been....
Bonds And His Dingers: The Madness Continues ...
OK, here we go ... Dontrelle Willis is all that stands between Barry Bonds and his sleepover with history (9 p.m. EST, ESPN). Does Hank's record fall tonight? Will Dontrelle toss a couple fat ones? (Remember: He does idolize him!) And what about Bud? Will he call the game a 0-0 tie after the first p...
One Swing From History
Whoa, boy! I'm starting to get all antsy ... Barry Bonds hit his 754th career homerun — a first inning solo shot in a Giants 12-10 win over the Marlins last night— leaving him just one shy of tying Hank Aaron's record....
Maybe You Don't Want Bonds' Home Run Ball
Imagine, hypothetically, that you were the one to catch Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball. It's not gonna be worth as much as it would have been a few years ago — you see, Barry Bonds has done a shitload of steroids, and many don't like that — but it still might, say, pay for a semester of college. (...
Jeff Pearlman, On His Subject Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds remains just two homers away from Hank Aaron's record, and in the wake of this historic and confounding achievement, we felt we should talk to a guy who knows the life of Bonds better than anyone else in the media: Jeff Pearlman, Bonds' biographer in Love Me, Hate Me. We've interviewed...
Selig Won't Watch, But We'll Have To
Well, if that whole Barry Bonds Won't Play On ESPN thing turns out to be based in reality, we're all in luck; Bonds is never going to break Hank Aaron's record. Because everyone of his at-bats is gonna be on The Worldwide Leader until, well, until he breaks it, or dies. So, you know, enjoy....
Bonds Might Do This This Weekend
After his two home runs yesterday, everybody's favorite beacon of light Barry Bonds is just two home runs away from tying Hank Aaron. Perhaps you've heard about this. He's got three games in Bud Selig's hometown of Milwaukee to go for it this weekend, and then comes home for a week. It's possible he...
