Bonds please shut up


Seems Bonds is a tad upset with Carlos Zambrano....

During the fifth inning of the Cubs 9-4 victory over San Francisco, after retiring Barry Bonds on a liner to the mound left three runners stranded, Zambrano began pumping his fist in exaggerated fashion while staring at the Giants slugger.

Bonds seethed afterward, claiming Zambrano was out of line.

"I didn't see it," Bonds said. "But that kid will respect me. He'll learn fast. … You have to show respect to get respect."


Ohhhh please. Thats sounds soooooo much like the school bully threat. Do you know who i am? Do you know who i am? Yes Barry Bonds we know who you are, but Carlos Zambrano could care less as you meekly hit a ball to him. He beat you fair and square and is happy he beat you. What should Zambrano do in that situation Mr. Bonds? Not care? Like you do?

Zambrano quickly put Bonds in his place for his comments.....

Zambrano had no regrets, saying he was not trying to be "cocky," but pointing out the hypocrisy of Bonds' misplaced anger.

"It was a big out," Zambrano said. "When he hit his 500th home run, he stood at home plate and watched it a little while, and then he runs. He has been doing that since he was a rookie, so I can do anything I want."


And Sosa stood behind Zambrano also.......

Sosa complimented Zambrano on his fist-pumping efforts, saying Bonds was in error if he thought Zambrano was being disrespectful.

"He wasn't showing up [Bonds]," Sosa said. "The guy is pitching against Barry Bonds, and he got him out. With the bases loaded? C'mon. He's a great kid. If it was me and I was a pitcher, I'd be doing the same thing. Getting Barry Bonds out with the bases loaded? Are you kidding me? That's not easy."


Your the one out of line Bonds. So please shut up. BTW we just won ANOTHER series against your team Bonds.....maybe your just a sore loser?
