Barry Lamar Is Looking For a Way Out
Bonds claimed yesterday that he has "10 to 12 bone chips floating" in his left elbow. He went on to say that if he has to have surgery on it, then he is done with baseball. "That would be it," he said.
I'm not one to hate Barry as much as some people (that's not to say I like him at all), but this sounds to me like he is trying to make excuses for his .190, zero homerun start. Furthermore, the fact that he said this just a couple days after this whole perjury thing dropped, creates further suspicion.
But what really is interesting to me is that Bonds had this same injury in spring training, but his feelings about it were completely opposite from his current "I'll just quit and cry about it 'cause I'm a sissy girl" attitude.
In March, Barry said, "Maybe there's a few bone chips in it. That's my guess, but I don't know. I can play through that. No problem. I only need one arm to swing the bat anyway." I would say a 4-21 start proves that the man needs both arms... a half-decent knee and some 'roids might help things out as well.

All very true and well written blogs. Lets not forget that there is another player in M.Maguire who has been down this road as well; and deserves the same feelings of disgrace from baseball fans. Odd that he retired after hitting more home runs in one season than any other player in the history of professional baseball. One year to the next would slow someone down a little, but to say now my back really hurts.....(while steriod testing is no longer a joke)..whereas last year I played through the pain and by the way, was able to hit a record number of home runs.........

B*RRY, B*RRY, B*RRY ... How stupid do you think the fans are? Let's see, the book came out - you can't sue them because it's true; the Feds are breathing down your bloated neck about lying to them; on the back burner the IRS is looking square up your rear orifice; and, God only knows what your former mistress is going to say and all of a sudden these elbow bone chips show up?! Could it be, perhaps, that you're looking for a way out? A little pre-spin so when you pass the Babe you can bow out - at least in your terms - gracefully?
The fact of the matter is this B*RROID, you're not "all" what you think you are and finally the whole mess is catching up with you in terms of the press, the fans and the law. Not to mention what your body is going to tell you in the years to come for ingesting that flaxseed compound!
It's really very sad.
Turns out you're a great baseball player, but not a great judge of character. I'm speaking of the fans of baseball. You thought we were all stupid, and some of us are, and some of us don't care how much you cheated to achieve your latter greatest. Some of us just care about how far you can hit the ball and if you can lead the Giants to the Promised Land. But most of us do care about the integrity of the game and the legitimacy of records and achievements. Most of us care that stuck a needle in your arm and we not buying the flaxseed story. Most of us care that you have to inject (No pun intended) race into the mix to defelect attention from the real issue... remember the comment about the Babe and your comment about whites and asians in your Grand Jury testimony? We're on to you B*rry, and we're getting the correct story for a change. Most of us can think past the story in the sport page and most of us have a conscience. -
I'll say this much....
Barry Bonds get's to Mr. Hank Aaron's number
Than the record books shall read....
Gee.... I wonder if Hank ole' boy used 'Roids', then, we
won't even be disscussing this, because
Hank ole' boy would have hit 955 or
maybe even higher than that..
Let's just wait and see a few years down the road for Barry.
We all know what happens to the human body after taking 'Roids'
Get ready Barry (cheater) Bonds....
what's coming ahead is punishment enough....
Happy chip off the ole elbow, 'or is it 'BLOCK' -
forget the bone chips, i just cant believe that barry bonds is still denying his steroid use....i mean, the evidence is overwhelming....be a man, you got caught, now you must admit it...the fact is, 1000 other players could have done the same drugs as you, and none of them would have accomplished the same....you are still a great player, other guys were doing them,so,to keep up you did them too...you made a mistake, but you got caught......it's like a child standing next to a broken window with a brick in his hand and broken glass on his shoes, saying "i didn't do it"..its ludicrous, and makes you look like an idiot, it insults our intelligence, and turns the fans against you, for that reason alone....listen, you are not a criminal or a child molester.....you are a great talent, always have been, with or without drugs, and just because you didnt test positive, doesn't mean you didnt do it, again, its insulting, there is too much other obvious evidence against you....i believe, that the truth can sometimes be overrated, but not this time, this time it will be liberating..........please, for baseball,for the fans, but mostly for yourself

If the "Catch-Phrase Kids" at ESPN are dead set on entering into this sick, twisted, co-dependent relationship with the finest player of "The Flaxseed Oil Era" -- I felt the least I could do was offer my services in order to make the series watchable. That is, if absolutely NOTHING ELSE is on that night.
So, here's the pitch: First, it depends on the availability of Brit actress Angela Lansbury. You know, the one who starred in that Disney flick way back in the day, what was that name again? BEDPANS & BROOM HANDLES? Doorknobs & Dipsticks? BEAR HUGS & BED BUGS?
Anywho, Angie Baby would play the role of the intrepid reporter, assigned to cover the BULBOUS-BEANED BALLER in his futile pursuit of HR immortality. But after the first six weeks of the season, she bails on Bonds. All the WHININ" and DENYIN' become more than she can abide.
She remains committed to deliver a story to her editor, however. So, after taking a couple weeks to rinse the remaning traces of flaxseed oil out of her hair, a story she indeed delivers. The title, you ask?
MARTYR, SHE WROTE. (I heard that groan, BTW.)
* For those too young to remember, BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE was a book, and later, a documentary film, which showed Americans for the first time, just haw Native Americans were treated by "the white man" -- to say it's an eye-opener is a gross understatement. Of course, "the white man" would later become known as simply "The Man" as popularized in films such as "Super Fly" and "Shaft."
