He takes about 35 spring training at bats to get ready, always showing up late. <BR/><BR/>Oh well.. it ain't gonna happen. We've got like a billion OF/DH/1B and it hasn't been enough time to evaluate their impact to go out and spend like $8 million on Barroid. <BR/><BR/>Aside, Stairsy really got into that pitch last night. Offseason hockey should be a regular training regime.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825832415909564197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-75585350908169639612008-05-14T16:19:00.000-04:002008-05-14T16:19:00.000-04:00Bonds is being "persecuted" for lying to a Grand J...Bonds is being "persecuted" for lying to a Grand Jury.

Everybody is out to get him. His longtime friends are even stabbing him in the back and selling him out.<BR/><BR/>He hasn't really done anything wrong, except lied in court about something that doesn't even affect society. In my mind, he was a steroid freak because he wanted to be a better ballplayer. And I have to admit, if I was in the same situation, I would probably do the same thing!! And it is clearly apparent that just about every player in the Majors would too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-3171714939966854502008-05-14T14:09:00.000-04:002008-05-14T14:09:00.000-04:00You honestly think that Bonds could step into the ...You honestly think that Bonds could step into the lineup tomorrow and start launching rockets into 500 level? <BR/><BR/>And don't get us wrong: this isn't a moral high ground stance...we just don't think it makes much practical sense to bring in Bonds at this point.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-8211026456565957322008-05-14T13:55:00.000-04:002008-05-14T13:55:00.000-04:00The prosecutors tried to throw 4 darts at the boar...The prosecutors tried to throw 4 darts at the board but a judge told them they were dull and not actually darts. They just bought a new 14 pack of darts... but I'm sensing they've been ripped off. <BR/><BR/>Since his next hearing is on June 6th, so if he gets signed now, that's a few weeks of production, if he starts quick. They're taking their time on this so it would be a short absence to say 'Not Guilty' and then he's back until August when he's likely to be summoned next. <BR/><BR/>What I don't understand is how Bonds gets treated like this but when players get caught drunk driving, hit and running, or killing people while drunk driving they call it a mistake and forget about it. <BR/><BR/>Win a world series, score some goals for the Leafs, or the Sens, and yer good to go... be a dick about things and you get the Bonds Effect. Bonds has a very high Bertuzzi factor. If only he had more Jeter genes in him.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825832415909564197noreply@blogger.com
