Barry's popularity scores low
Barry Bonds has worked for years to construct his reputation as the surly superstar, a man who cares so little about public opinion that he could barely face a television camera without sneering. Image and perception became a toxic mix once accusations of steroid use called into question his accelerating home run totals, completing Bonds's public image as an arrogant jerk who probably cheated. The depths to which Bonds has fallen are marked in his consistently low Q Score, a popularity and marketability ranking compiled through polling by Marketing Services Inc. According to the latest survey, Bonds is the third-lowest-scoring athlete, behind Ron Artest and Terrell Owens.

Maybe my new blog post (Troy O'Leary's Cow) will raise Barry's Q-Score. Some good photo-shopped pics, too. Read it. It's entitled, Barry In The Sky With Diamonds.

The only surprise here is that Ron Artest is lower. I know I think Barry is a bigger jerk than Artest.
Now TO at the bottom, that one I can get with...

barry said when a-rod approachs his record,he will be there to cheer him on. i figure it will be about 7-8 years from now. that should be the time when barrys liver, kidneys and other organs start failing from all of the juice he never admited doing.

Diablo,
"Looser" means less tight. "Loser" is one who loses. What are you really trying to say about Canseco?
