You are looking at it as if offense is the only thing that wins the game though. Take away Bonds and put someone else in there who's not as good as Bonds, but a good hitter and the Giants will still be where they are. Bonds is only a small piece to a good team.
Look at the Rangers of last year. They had A-Rod and what you just said about Bonds getting the crowd going can be said about A-ROD. Did the Rangers do good with A-ROD? Hell no. Who's the star player on the Rangers right now? Who's the star player on the Indians? Who was the star player on the Angels in 2002? Yankees in 98? Nobody. Each guy was the star on the team. There was no one guy that made a difference. 9 guys playing good baseball make a difference.
