He will do it, the question is when.

I think if he chooses the correct syringe, tonight could be the night.

He will do it, the question is when.

Do you think he has enough gas left in the tank to shoot for Aaron's 755?

Not sure about that...we'll see how it goes.  If he gets close, he may play next season just to do it.

I love how he got hit in the head with a ball yesterday during BP. Seeing his giant-steroid induced head rolling around on the ground was priceless.

Baseball won't bother to certify Bonds ball

When Barry Bonds hits home run No. 715 and moves into second place on the all-time list behind Hank Aaron, the lucky fan who catches the ball might have a hard time proving it's the real thing.

That's because Major League Baseball won't authenticate any of the baseballs the Giants are using.

"He's not approaching the record," said league spokesman Pat Courtney by way of explanation, reiterating baseball's stance that the passing of Babe Ruth's milestone of 714 career home runs is not a valid cause for celebration. "We will revisit doing the ball authenticating when he approaches the record."

In 1998, as Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa approached Roger Maris' single-season record of 61 home runs, league officials made sure the baseballs being used in Cardinals and Cubs games were numbered and included holograms to eliminate any doubt that the record-breaking ball could be identified. They did it again in the final week of that season so McGwire's final home run could be authenticated.
