    What a bitch. Normally I'm against guys taking part in things like this because it throws off their swing for a week or two after the break, but after all the BS hoopla surrounding him, and how it would be "wrong" for him not to get voted into the game, he should be participating in this tournament. It's in front of his home crowd, and he's going to be the all-time HR king this year.

    Just another reason to add to the list of why to hate Barry Bonds. I would LOVE to see him get seriously injured in the All Star game, and never get to finish the record.

    I hope that was more of a joke than a wish.

    Well that's a bit much. Overreacting a bit?

    Chill out hotshot

    The derby can screw with a guys swing, and when you get up in to the late years of your career, especially when its as stressful as his, he has no need to participate in it. If its acceptable for Jr to skip out, its acceptable for bonds too.
    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if he were to participate, that would make him the oldest player in a HR derby. His body simply can't handle it, and if this wasn't most likely his last year, and in his home, he would be better off skipping the whole AS game too.

    It's not the first time I've said that about Bonds. I do wish he'd get seriously injured. I don't give a crap how you guys react to that. Hate me if you want, I won't change my stance on Bonds. I hate the guy. Period.

    Thankfully not. Bonds is a jerk. I dont like him but he could of created a feel good moment for him and baseball but he chooses to pass. If he is not physically able to perform then just show up to be the home town and give what you can but not too hard to aggravate anything.
