Barry Bond "754"

There's no doubt he's going to break the record, no matter how much I don't want him to be. I don't like Bonds, I think he is a big baby.

The_Mini_Rigs, I mean no offense, but I believe you have a bad habit of over-using quotations. For instance, the title of the thread would be equally as effective if you simply entered Barry Bonds 754, and not Barry Bond (sic) "754". Its just that I see no apparent reason for putting the number 754 in quotations.

Maybe he just thinks it catches attention better? If so then bold font would do much better than quotations.

Well, that's not all of it though. The first post should have been worded, "Well, he's playing tonight against the Marlins." Instead, it is just really difficult to read. I'm not trying to be harsh, but whenever I read one of his posts I have to read it repeatedly to understand what it is even about.

I love running around and "winking" my fingers at people like I'm quoting words. It makes me feel like I am of a superior intelligence :Evil:

if he breaks the record, but cheats, does he really break the record?

No, he won't break the record, because he cheats. And if anyone wants to argue differently, why the heck did he get bigger all the sudden?

Stephen Colbert says that his helmet size changed three times because his skull is getting thicker to give extra protection to that brain of his. I'm gonna side with Colbert on this one Stretch.;)

totally agree with Stretch on that. he's cheating and therefore an asterisk in any recordbook. that is not really breaking a record in my mind.

Well, I wouldn't call him professional MHC. Professionals shouldn't have to cheat to win, he just plays with other Pros.

Yeah, Barry Bond is James' eccentric brother who is always trying to get James to invest in get rich quick schemes. He's kind of the black sheep of the family because he never really amounted to anything. "754" was his agent number before James fired him for his incompetence. I hope this explanation clears up any confusion.
