Barry*, you have some splaining to do.
Shocking (well, not really) revelations from Sports Illustrated today that Barry Bonds* has been using performance-enhaning drugs since 1998. I have little to add other than a) I am not surprised, b) Bud Selig must be ecstatic about the timing of the Sports Illustrated article, and c) this may really throw off Avi's strategy of taking Bonds* in the 27th round of our fantasy baseball pool.
I also wonder if I can copyright the term "Barry Bonds*", with an asterisk, right now. That way, I can threaten to sue anyone who uses the term, and make tons of money off of it. Hell, it works for Pat Riley.

I wasn't so surprised by the steroid "revelations" so much as I was horrified by the fact that he allegedly threatened to kill his mistress on more than one occasion.
Re the Barry Bonds story, I'm sick of SI's hypocrisy. They lament the fall of the sports hero like's its some kind of new phenomenon. I take SI writer Phil Taylor to task in my blog essay, read it at http://mymountain.blogspot.com/2006/03/si-lament-there-are-no-more-heros.html
