A-Rod Finds Ally In Bonds

Yesterday, reporters asked Barry Bonds whether he felt Alex Rodriguez's vocal turn around third Wednesday night was a "dirty" or "bush" play. "Go ask Alex. Leave me out of it," the slugger replied in typical brusque fashion. When told that the Blue Jays were fuming over the play, Bonds replied, "Too bad. Get over it." I guess you could call that a vote of support. In any event, it's about as close to a defense as you'll find from the majority of A-Rod's fellow major leaguers
