    Has Barry Bonds ever lied about how he got injured so as not to be in violation of his contract?

    Just wondering.

    What is he prohibited from doing in his contract? What injury are you referring to? With the exception of 1999, he has not missed an appreciable number of games in any season.

    Has Jeff Kent ever been voted off his team because the other players thought he was an ass?

    Just wondering.

    Hmmm, immature 20 year olds voting off the best player on the team.

    Sounds smart.

    Barry Bonds is an ass only because he doesn't choose to kiss the media's collective behind. I guarantee you ask every single player in MLB who they'd rather have on their team, and the vast majority pick Bonds...private television and all.

    Kent's an idiot, and I can't wait until he starts losing about $33,000 a game.

    He must have been a pretty big ass for the players to want to get rid of their best player. Or are you saying 20 year olds can't make rational judgements?

    Barry Bonds is an ass only because he doesn't choose to kiss the media's collective behind.

    Players hating him (see above) isn't media created.

    Yes, and it's a pattern of behavior. The things that people b****ed about him at USC (acting like he's more important than the team, etc) are the same things players (albeit anonymously now, outside of Kent) b**** about him now. Putting two-and-two together, I'm guessing they are pretty accurate.

    You can be an ass and still a good player. I think Kobe Bryant is an ass, but he's still a good player. I think Deion Sanders was an ass, but he didn't hurt his team.

    I am just posting this to break up the monotony of the Major-RM95 war of words.

    That's my point. Kent wanted to make news for himself by talking **** about Bonds last year. Bonds, a player who may isolate himself from teammates, but does nothing but play his ass of everynight. Meanwhile, Kent does **** like this to hurt himself and the team.

    That's much worse than not being buddy buddy with all your teammates.

    I never said Kent was anything great. I still think Barry Bonds is an ass though.

    The White zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers, there is no stopping in the White zone.

    I didn't say you thought he was great, you just inferred that "being an ass" in the clubhouse is worse than hurting your team on the field.

    The Red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the Red zone.

    :D Others are welcome to join in the argument, but only if you agree that Bonds is an ass. :)

    I didn't say you thought he was great, you just inferred that "being an ass" in the clubhouse is worse than hurting your team on the field.

    How did I infer this? I just asked asked a legimitate question, and like you, included the clarifying "Just Wondering". And do you actually think Kent PURPOSELY injured himself? If not, then I don't think he did this "to hurt himself and the team". He might have been ridiculously reckless or whatnot, but he didn't actively try to hurt his team.

    Meanwhile, Kent does **** like this to hurt himself and the team.

    Instead of answering the question, you pointed out something negative that happened to Bonds in the past, without judging what Kent had done.

    If it was specifically written into his contract that he couldn't ride motorcycles because of the injury factor, and he did anyway, he purposefully hurt his team.

    You think that Bonds does nothing buy play his ass off every night? You talking about Barry Bonds or Bobby Bonds?

    What evidence do you have that Kent did this to hurt himself and the team?
