I think Bonds being such a asshole makes it easier to hate him. I remember when Sosa and McGuire were chasing MArris' record, bith were so nice to the media, granting hour long press conferences after each homerun they hit and engaging in playful banter with the reporters. Bonds hates the press and has been somewhat tough on fans at non-paid signing events.

As for the records, I hope he breaks them both this season and then goes off to the sunset. We will always thingof the last 8 years as the steroid era when baseball saved itself following the strike by turning a blind eye to the drug abuse by the big bashers. I remember all the writers claiming the ball was juiced by mlb after teh strike to bring back attention to the sport. It was not the ball but the biceps that were juiced.
