Too many people think this and I tend to agree. Barry Bonds is by far the most conceded asshole to ever play the game of baseball. In many aspects this may be true, but everyone has to give the man credit about his baseball abilities, not his attitude. He is a one man show, not one person can deny that. With that statement, a new rule that baseball needs to implement. This rule will never happen because of the rules of the game but to be a fan of the Giants and Bonds, everyone would agree with me.
Just like the instant replay that we currently used in the NFL, baseball needs to limit the number of times that the opposing team can intentionally walk another player. What do Jack McKeon and Jim Tracy has in common, they are both pussies. Tracy had Bonds walked 4 times in a game last week, although they were not all intentional, they should have been. McKeon had Bonds intentional walked 4 times in a game when San Francisco played against Florida. Some would say that this is strategy; you cannot call this strategy what so ever. In my mind there is only one statement that can best describe this so called strategy, Pussies
To walk a player one or maybe even two times a game is something that I can live with, but to take a player completely out of a game is just not fair. Sure the other Giant players need to pick up the slack. My argument stems from being a paying customer of baseball games. They are providing fans with a service, after all we are paying there salaries. The cost of taking a family to games is skyrocketing. Every Giants fan would agree with me on this. What do you tell your kids when they ask you, “daddy, why are they walking him all the time?” It enrages me every time they take him out of the game, why even go to the Giants games anymore. When the Giants are on the Road, people pay to watch Bonds hit, not to walk every time he comes to the plate.
So my proposal is this: MLB implements a rule that would limit the number of times a team can intentionally walk a player to two times a game. Also leave it up to the discretion of the home plate umpire to invoke this rule if he thinks that the opposing team is throwing away from the player, giving him the discretion of counting this as one of their intentional passes.
I know that this rule will never happen and it is far fetched, but as a Giants fan it just plain pisses me off to see him taken out of a game completely. If he remains on his current pace, he will surpass 200 walks this season. Give the guy a chance to hit, he won’t go yard each time. This is a travesty to allow MLB get away with this. Strategy my ass, pussy’s best defines this so called rule.
