I laughed my ass off watching that. Bonds is a joke as was that whole sequence. I say they even out. Plus Bonds is a pussy for not charging the mound. He's only a bully when it comes to reporters. Plus it would have taken him 2 minutes to get to the mound. I'm all for more pitchers doing this as long as people don't start sympathizing with steroid-boy

If Springer didn't want to give up #714, just be a pussy and walk him. but he choose to be a pussy and a douch for throwing at him.
if springer didn't like him as a person, he should have tried to strike him out, as a real man and a real baseball player would do. and the fans are idiots for cheering for it.

and further reinforce the negative stereotype of blacks in America? you must be kidding me. If he had done that, you would have just said that he's on "roid rage". it's a no win situation for him.
i personally give him a lot of props for staying calm thru the situation. a lot of other guys would have charged the mound and perhaps gotten themselves suspensions as well.

Are you really serious with that one? That's almost like saying that nobody wants Bonds to break Aaron's record cause Barry is black
how exactly is that "almost like saying that nobody wants bonds to break Aaron's record because Barry is black"? explain that to me.
I edited my post while you were responding. Basically I'm saying that Bonds comes up with all these crazy excuses about why nobody likes him(he says cause he's black). Your quote about,"reinforcing the negative stereotype of blacks in America" really had nothing to do with why he didn't charge the mound. It's not even an issue in this case just like Bonds breaking Aaron's record is not a race issue either

But imagine if he did charge the mount? what would a casual fan think about that? wouldn't he seem "emotional" and "out of control". this may or may not be a race issue depending on your background, and if to you it's not, i applaud that, and i applaud you. but there's still no "right thing" for him to do in that situation to satisfy everyone, including you, based on your original statement.
