From the viewpoint of a Giants fan, my opinion is that the statement that Bonds doesn't care about his team or his fans isn't quite true. I've never heard him say anything bad about his teammates or the fans. There is the occasional comment about the hounding press, but then they do follow the guy around and harrass him (the exchanges between Bonds and Pedro Gomez are particularly amusing). As for not caring about his teammates, what would constitute as "caring?" Playing every game? The guy is 43 years old, and plays in 75% of the games in the season. Name another 43 y.o. in MLB who plays every single game. Barry is not perfect by a long shot - he's a drama queen and way overpaid (hey, he fills the seats at ATT Park), but the way people blindly believe the shadow that the media has cast on the guy is just catering to what the media wants - attention - even if the story is greatly exaggerated. Just my 2 cents, as someone who has watched every single Giants game since Bonds joined the team. I think unless someone has done something bad to you personally, its not right to go around calling the guy an a-hole.
