From CNN: A federal grand jury indicts Barry Bonds on perjury and obstruction of justice charges, AP and CNN affiliate KTVU report
Major League Baseball's all-time home run king Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction justice charges, according to KTVU reporter Rita Williams.
The five-count indictment -- four counts of perjury and one of obstruciton of justice -- capped one of the longest federal grand jury investigations in Northern California history -- a proceeding that introduced the sports world to the acronym BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative) and led to the downfall of American track and field world and Olympic champions Marion Jones, Kelli White and Tim Montgomery...

I hope Sugar Shane Mosley was for real
Mosley's stock is arguably at an all-time high, and if there were any doubts about his standing amongst the all-time greats, his knockout of Antonio Margarito erased them all. I felt there was something fishy back in the early part of the decade when Barry Bonds was setting personal and all-time homerun records despite being in his late 30's.I hope that isn't the case...
Barry Bonds set to add new lawyer to legal team

Why no one cares about Sammy Sosa
Sammy Sosa hit Home Run #599 on Friday Night and no one seems to care.
Some might say it's because Barry Bonds is overshadowing him, but Sosa really did it to himself.
More on the 'Plaxident'
....Point A happens to be the offices of the National Football League. Point B is where Plaxico shot himself in the thigh. It's a little hard to see, but I think you can get the idea of the insane proximity between the club and the NFL's offices.
Walking, this is a distance of .1 mile, which is somewhere around 500 or 600 feet. Plax is lucky that Goodell wasn't in...
Barry Bonds
Courtesy of ESPN (Gene Wojciechowski):Barry Bonds has played his last game, worn his last major league uniform, defied the truth for the last time. His baseball career came to a wrenching, unfulfilled, but fitting end the exact moment he was indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice T...
Clemens' legacy is shot down the drain
With the revelation that Roger Clemens has been implicated in the Mitchell Report, his Hall of Fame legacy is pretty much shot down the tubes. You have to put Clemens right there with cheating slime like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire. If you can't put McGwire or Bonds in the Hall of Fame, you can't put Clemens there, either.
Mike Milbury Isn't Shy About Sharing His Opinions Either
What is it with the Mikes today, or yesterday for that matter? First Mike Patrick said he wanted to see Barry Bonds in prison stripes, and now NESN/NBC/CBC's Mike Milbury is calling players "dicks" on live television? Milbury used to be the GM of the Islanders, and drafted a player by the name of Tim Connolly in 1999, but then traded the Center onto the Sabres just...

Won't you please save a word today? Me, I'm going with boreism, or possibly namelings to describe the dozens of Ramerizi in MLB.NY Yankees Rumors.com has dozens of photos of the new yard, which looks really big and very expensive -- shocking, I am sure. His caption for the photo above ("It’s like an all Yankees Cooperstown") either shows that he's never actually...

Performance Enhancing Substances in NASCAR?
Apparently it's news that Barry Bonds' body is different than 15 years ago when he was a Pirate. One of my friends at work and I were discussing Bonds and went off on a tangent about steroids in NASCAR. What if Mark Martin injected HGH into his right foot? Maybe Chad Knaus' baldness is due to heavy u...
Random Thoughts on a Tuesday Afternoon
Sociopaths in Baseball
At this point I have no choice but to assume that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are sociopaths. Now, I know that’s a somewhat bold statement to make, but let’s consider how these two men have acted over the past months and years.
First of all, it’s...

I don't see Bonds pulling a Vick -- I see him fighting tooth and nail to the very end. It depends on what evidence is that will determine whether I think he gets off.
If Anderson for some reason ratted him out, he's up the creek.
The case now isn't about Bonds' perjury, it's about how he's ruined American sports and the sanctity of a game.
Why the fuss isn't raised about football - I have no idea.
All the moralists, talking heads, experts, etc., are coming out; however, cheating is rampant in every segment of society and people seem to be selective as to what they want to fight about and turn a blind eye to.
Sheffield, Giambi, and all the guys caught are being given a pass â€" thus, Bonds has sinned & is in a word of trouble not because he did drugs, but because he was arrogant, ornery and pissed off a large segment of the sporting public.
Sports is like pro wrestling now â€" just entertainent & the world is really messed up. We get it -- it's kind of unsettling to hear all the self-righteousness being exponded now.
Enjoy it for what is.
I am looking forward to a day when there is no steroid use in baseball. That day will never come, but I am looking forward to it. :-)
MLB will only get serious about testing when they adopt Olympic style testing. Yeah, MLB may never be clean; however, we'll know they are all about the fight rather than lip service.
