Probably not. yet, in another thread What if he suffers a career ending injury? Until he gets there it will always be an if. somehow, you treated the former as an 'if' but you don't seem to be treating the latter as an 'if.' you said you don't needlessly argue minutiae with me, so there must be some explanation, right? sorry, trick question. you do in fact like to needlessly argue minutiae with me, and that is the explanation for your contradictory opinions on the two situations. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing. Let me just repost what killthegoat said. Let me repost that with the important part bolded: And, in case you can't read that because they type is too small, he said: barring injury In your original post, you did not say anything about an injury. If Bonds does not get hurt, there is no chance he won't break Aaron's record. In other words, if Bonds does not get injured, he will break Aaron's record. That's the key. Obviously we don't know if he's going to get hurt or not. What I'm saying is that, IF HE DOES NOT GET HURT, he will break the record. You failed to say anything about an injury with regards to Biggio reaching 3000 Why must you be such an ass all the time? I was not needlessly arguing minutiae with you. You asked a question and I answered it. So my opinions on the two situations do not, in fact, contradict themselves. Get a life buddy. Ever since your little blowup in the game thread a few days ago, I've made it even more of a point than normal to not get into an argument with you or even respond to your comments because you're so damn stubborn and you rarely listen to what other people have to say because you're so stuck in your views. And I think this response from you proves what I said in that same game thread: that you are trying to pick a fight with me rather than the other way around. After all, you're the one who blames me because you almost got banned a while ago. Like I said, get a life. EDIT: And mods, I apologize if this was out of line in any way but I had to get it off my chest. This will be my one and only response to him in regards to this matter.
