Cry me a river. It's your blog, and you allow anonymous posts. For all we know, "Christopher Rogers" could be a pseudonym. I doubt any of the posters here really care, actually. But this is really terrible writing, and you'll have to deal with me posting my opinion anonymously, as long as I am allowed to do so.

Hmmm,I did notice a bit of Hemingway in there. Tee hee...regardless, I stand by your eyewitness account of that fateful night of what could also be seen as a highly suspicious spectacle of "illusion and grandeur". What do I mean? Why even cheer for someone you called a jerk who probably hit this 756 while on some performance enhancement drug? How was it really witnessing excellence in sports when you think he's a hoax? I stand by with some actual hope for this team and Barry Bonds. At least Tuesday night he appeared to have more emotions than emoticons...surprise, surprise! He really seemed humbled by the experience and truly grateful. What really urked me was the fact that people came only for the Amazing Barry Show rather than actually rooting for the team to the very end. Giants winning would've been icing on the cake.

bibliogrrl -- you realize that your battered injured dessicated Cubs have a shot at sweeping the Giants when they come through SF in two weeks? Sigh. Ahh'm ready for some football.

"guest 2," you should leave commenting to those who have the sack/eggs to stand behind their comments.

Well, "guest 4", I made you nauseous? I'm sorry about that. What I really was trying to accomplish with my writing was to make you die.

"A great burst of laughter! High-fives flew as thick as anti-aircraft flak. It was a great loosing of energy, comparable only to a quake. Shouting and cursing and laughing from all quarters. Shock. People did not know what to do with themselves. It had happened. It happened right now, right in front of us." My god... I know this is only a blog but the writing makes me nauseous. Someone aspiring to be a little Hemingway a little too hard, aren't we?

You know what? He may be a jerk (ok, he's a jerk), and he might be a cheater (the court is still out on that one)... but seeing a record beat in any sport is pretty awesome. Seeing excellence in sports is amazing. That's why we cheered when we watched him hit one out of the park here in Chicago last month, even if it was against the Cubs (we beat you guys anyway). It's always fun to celebrate in the moment. The crap will come down later.

Barry, thanks for being such a great role model for the kids. At what age should our children start taking steroids?
