Johnny Bench is on the latest SBL and, no, I can't believe we get these guys to do our show either. He has plenty to say about Mark McGwire and the Hall of Fame (in), Pete Rose and the Hall (out), today's best catchers and, of course, the '06 Reds and their playoff chances. You're totally encouraged to stay with the interview until we ask him about Rose's chances of enshrinement, at which point Bench asks us if we have kids and follows that up by saying something to the effect of, when you do, "tell them there's no more rules!" It's truly priceless. And uncomfortable.

  I am just so friggin' happy right now because the BALCO guy who invented the "clear" is going to be forced to testify against Barry Bonds. That means that Bonds will be tossed out of baseball and every home run that he ever hit will count for nothing. Bonds will never be invited to Cooperstown, New York, to become a member of the Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame. The only fans that he has are in San Francisco---and these "fans" couldn't tell you the last time that the Giants won a World Series. So, for history's sake, let's go over how the record books will look next year: Home Runs---1. Henry "Hank" Aaron; 2. George Herman "Babe" Ruth; 3. William "Willie" Mays.......Funny, I don't see Barry Bonds' name there. Do you?
