Mile High

And of all of Bonds' MVP seasons, this one might have been his greatest. Maybe he didn't hit 73 homers. But he did become the oldest batting champ in history -- and joined Ted Williams as the only men to win a batting title in the season they turned 40. Barry's .609 on-base percentage was the highest of all time. To put that in perspective, only one other current National Leaguer -- Todd Helton -- has ever had a season within 150 points of that. Bonds reached base 376 times. Only the Babe ever beat that. Barry had an .812 slugging percentage. Just Ruth -- and Bonds himself -- have topped that. He was the oldest man ever to hit 45 home runs. He was the third to drive in 100 runs in a season in which he didn't even get 400 at-bats. ... And then there were all those walks. This man walked 232 times. The American League leader, Eric Chavez, didn't even walk 100 times. Bonds was intentionally walked 120 times. No other team was within 50 of that. He walked so much that even if he'd gotten no hits all year, he still would have had a higher on-base percentage than the guy who led the league in hits, Juan Pierre. So while Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols and Scott Rolen would all be sensational MVP candidates in a league without Barry in it, that's not the league they play in. Unfortunately for them, the league Barry Bonds plays in is a league all his own End of discussion.

The question IS who carried their team more?

I bet ralph steps in and says enough is enough put the kid in now.

We have a winner! How many walk off home runs did Bonds have? There were games this year he won single handedly.

Why? It's the Most Valuble Player award. Not the Most Valuble Player Award in the Playoffs Award. There ARE a different awards for the playoffs.

Look up his numbers obp, av, slgp, wlk, rbi, hts and hrs and then try to make the case that he doesn't deserve this award. No one else even compares. Didn't Arod win an MVP with Texas 2 years ago?

Last night I was watching the game with all die hard Bills fans. So I turned to my buddy after the game and said, "now that we're almost done who ya cheering for?" I then told him I'm pulling for Indy due to the fact that I hope Bill Polian gets the superbowl ring he really deserves. I mean come on guys the guy got a raw deal and he should've stayed here in Buffalo but differences should've been settled. Anyway all of that means stevestojan to me and I still like the guy due to what he did for the Bills. Once the regular season is over and the Bills are done I'm rooting for the Colts.

Ah number 7 how sweet it is, how sweet it is.. Congrats Barry.

I personally get sick of hearing Drew gives us the best chance to win. Really? How do we know? Is there something there to gauge that? Did we miss one of our other qb's coming in and playing a full game? God I'm fuggin bitter.

My prayers are with him.

Think positive Ice. Think positive. This is the first Willis primetime game and I expect him to carry the ball 30 plus times. Getting in Brady's face early and often is esssential as well.

God I'm good.

I have had a dream similar to that except Belichek was riding around a billy goat circling a bucket which Takeo was drowning Tom Brady in as the Jills cheered from the sidelines. Funny thing was it was at at the 50 yard line at the Ralph and no one was there. All I can remember is Bill Belichek singing "the Bills make me wanna shout" and Tko telling Tommy to hold his breath... While muttering your not Montana you couldn't hold Montana's jock strap! Strange huh?

He's playing. Mike practiced the last two days.

Ditto

Anyone remember who the wiener was who wanted and insisted on Haslett being the head coach of the Bills this year?

Buffalo by 8

Agreed this is a must win.

Anyone?

So everyone outside of the service sucks? The rest of the people who have nothing to do with the military in this country suck? I'm proud to be an American and I'm proud of our veterans. For fighting for our rights and serving in the call of duty when asked. For dying for a free country and keeping us non military civilians out af harms way. I thank you and everyone who serves for these things. But to say non veterans suck... wake up and smell the Sanka man. This whole Bobby April thingy is getting a little out of hand imo. You guys need to relax.

other way around man.

Didn't the overrated Jets hold the Pats to 13 points like 3 weeks ago? And wasn't that a 6 point game?

I would love to see the Bills win the toss and just milk the clock. a nice 6:00 minute scoring drive capped off by a Wills td run. I feel that we have to keep Brady off the field and take the crowd out of it asap.

alright alright but where is the love from everyone else. what you guys don't think we have a shot?
