All the barbs coming Barry's way the last couple of days have hurt him so much that he's gone out and hit two home runs, collected another hit, and driven in six runs.
Am I the only one who can see Barry hitting 756, rounding the bases, continuing right on through the dugout, out the clubhouse door, and calling it a career?
Actually, if I had my way, Barry would hit 756, round the bases, stop on top of home plate, remove a picture of Bitter Hank from his pocket, then rip it up a la Sinead O'Connor with the picture of the Pope on SNL. That would be awesome.

I mean the whole chase -- Rodriguez is not exactly a universally liked player right now, so it will be interesting to see if he suddenly becomes a hero when he ticks over 700. Will Bonds still be so disliked then that everyone starts rooting for Rodriguez to break his record? Or will most fans treat Rodriguez then like they are Bonds now?
