Personally I don't want you to break it Mr. Bonds, sorry to say that. Reason being is because of the steroid scandle. If you are cleared, and clean, then I will say hey, I just watched the best home run slugger of all time. Even if you break it, will you consider yourself the greatest power hitter of all time?

I don't care what you media people think of me. That's your opinion.
I'm probably not the greatest power hitter of all-time, but i'm up there. There have been many other athletes that have been stronger than me. You guys know who i'm talking about.

Well if your clean and you didn't use it ever, then I'd consider you up there with the greats. Babe Ruth, in my opinion is the real homerun king. Now it's the homerun era, and balls are flyin out all over the place. Anyway, now a question for the gm. What are your chances to win the NL West this year?

well i feel that we have a great chance to make the playoffs this year. The competition has really gone down in our division. Look at last year. My only fears are the Los Angeles Dodgers. They put together are really good team during the off-season and look strong. But i'll try and move some players around. I have talked to a couple of my players and told them that i want to try and win this year and will move a couple of them.

To Barry-Barry, do you think that you could carry this team to the playoffs WHILE breaking Aaron's homerun mark?

Barry you've been the face of this organization for years, will you hold a grudge if you are traded from this team? Also, would you welcome a return to your original home in pittsburgh?
