Their job is to win the game not help a guy break records.
ESPN UDPATE ESPN UPDATE ESPN UPDATE
Bonds hasn't homered but we'll keep you updated and show you every single pointless at bat!!!!
Oh the Giants are getting their asses handed to them and have the stench of a 90 loss team. But we're ESPN, who cares who wins these games?
Oh and booooooo Jake Peavy struck him out, how dare they call Barry out on strikes! (Exagerration of what John Kruk just said on Baseball Tonight)
I see, it's all Bonds' fault this is happening. Damn him for being great.
Keep in mind, my post wasn't a complaint, just an observation. My real complaint is none of the other 8 guys on the field doing anything with the bat. Does it make you feel better that I (a Giant fan) acknowledge it or do you need Stuart Scott to tell you the Giants stink?
"The media is favoring the biggest star in _______."
Shocking.
With all the complaints about ESPN you'd think people would avoid it.
I like poking fun at ESPN's hype machine and I was just about to post it when I saw your post. I do think it is a complete insult to just ignore the score and only focus on one player, no matter who he is. Unless he's trying to hit #756 I don't give a shit. Anyways Kruk said (might not be exact words) "how can they call Barry Bonds out on strikes?" and I just lost it.
Understood. Believe me, I'd rather hear about ways the Giants could improve their offense or managment's lack of faith in their farm players and how that's killing the team, than some meaningless home run streak or the "possibility" of hitting .400.
