Finally! Finally a pitcher had the stones to do what needs to be done. Barry Bonds has been plunked. It was wonderful! ~And this was no accident!
You see, Russ Springer is my new hero. The Houston pitcher threw five pitches at Barry Bonds. The first was behind him, then at his knee, then at his shoulder (which hit his bat as Bonds attempted to get out of the way), then high and inside again, then he finally hit him high on the shoulder. Yeah! That's some stones. I love it! The pitcher was tossed without a warning, I can't imagine why!
(Wanna see it? You can get the video of the best play in baseball yesterday from this article!)
Barry Bonds (as you can see by the side bar) needs only 2 more *enhanced home runs to pass Babe Ruth in regards to career home runs. This is something that should not be allowed. For quite some time I've been a proponent of walking Bonds every time he's at bat. But why waste four pitches on this cheater? Just nail him: Same result, fewer pitches. Russ Springer has seen the wisdom of this idea. Granted it took him five pitches, but he eventually clocked the admitted cheater. The best part about it: the plunking drew a thunderous ovation from the 35,286 fans in attendance.
A side note: This "Future Hall of Famer" has been batting .143 since his last home run, with 3 hits. One of which was an extra base hit. He has managed 3 RBI in that time frame. He's "resting" and won't be playing in today's game. Probably won't be playing till he returns to the blinded San Francisco stadium.
Hey Barry, how do you like your just desserts?
Keep it up opposing pitchers. And a message for you umps: pretend you didn't see it. If the Commissioner is to weak to oust this guy from baseball, the players and umpires need to do it for him! Anyway, it's just my opinion.

I completely agree! I have also called for such actions in previous posts.
Anyone who has been caught cheating needs to be kicked out and the record books need to appear as though they never played. (Not to mention a hefty fine to be paid to MLB and the teams that paid them their salary (Unless there is evidence that the team was complacent, then both the player and the team should have to pay the fine to MLB.))
See the following posts if you want to read my previous calls for their ousting:

I don't follow baseball much, but would appreciate if you could explain how a batter can cheat.
A batter can cheat by taking illegal steroids. These allow him to hit the ball harder and farther. Causing what might normally have been a pop out to become a home run. It also allows him to raise his bat speed. So when a batter not on steroids might strike out on an inside fast ball, because he can't get his bat around quick enough. A steroids pumped batter might be able to foul that off, or perhaps hit a shot to the opposite field up the foul line. This is how Barry Bonds (and others: Mark McGuire, Raphael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa, Jason and Jeremy Giambi, etc) cheat as batters.
I heard someone say: If the Pirates helmet doesn't fit, there is no way to acquit. hmm...
