As they said last night on the sports news: "Break out the cheese, because Barry Bonds is about to whine." 
I don't think he had the hardest offseason out of all the players. Hell, look at everyone dragged to the Communist steroid hearings last week.  |

"Physically hurt...mentally done."
Well, when you get two knee surgeries, congress hearing (that he wasn't invited to, mind you, that might've been an ego hit, maybe) Giants being the oldest team, Bonds being 41. I can understand why he's exhausted, I give him 3 weeks. He'll be looking forward to ripping everyone apart.
...We're not even on opening day yet... |

Uhhh...who the hell is Jason Phillips. Is he some big prospect? I looked him up on MLB.com, and he's a nobody.
Also, Bonds might be done for the season... |

I will tell you what David Wright's defense is like.
Sexy, is what. |

Oh. We, uhm, never mentioned that, huh? 
Minty Fresh should help them out considerably. Not sure what David Wright's defense is like, but Reyes and Matsui should be fine. 'Sides, who'd they have at 1B when they were contenders recently? John Olerud and His Gold Gloves. And Cairo'll be fine as a bench player. He was over his head last year, but he's still adequate. |

And indeed he did.
He's a MET, baby!
Miguel Cairo and Doug Mientkiewicz are, as well. |

Wow, highway robbery for the O's.
Oh, but wait, they might also have to include some other players, like Jorge Julio.
Because when you want pitching, the first name ANYONE should think of is the Orioles. |

Feh. Better nickname was ex-Jets offensive coordinator (now Bucs QB coach) Paul Hackett. His was "Can't". YOU figure it out. 
Anyway, head-explodingly big news. The Cubs need a new RF. Why? Well, Sosa's gone. And take a guess where.
Yankees? Nope.
Red Sox? Naaaah.
Mets? Try again.
Brewers? Uhmno.
The ORIOLES acquired him for 2B/OF Jerry Hairston Jr. and "at least two" minor leaguers. Pending him passing a physical and waiving his no-trade clause, of course. Maybe he makes a fresh start? Dispenses with his corked-up, roided bat image? |

One thing I have to say about baseball right now....
Well, if I told you that Paul DePodesta (GM of the Dodgers) was being referred to around Cali as "Paul Stupidesta"... would that be enough hintage? |

I dunno, it doesn't look like he slowed down AT ALL.
The only reson his record was so so, was because the Dback sucked wonk. |

And find someone to hold his colostomy bag. ;P
Besides, ya know what it's nice to have but he doesn't have? Cartilage in his right knee. He can't keep it up THIS long. I think they get Randy Fucking Johnson for a year and a half, then Fucking Randy Johnson the rest of the contract.  |

Welp, the trade went through. All that's left is for the Yanks to agree to a contract w/Johnson |

I want to see the Cubs get Beltran. Sign the guy to play RF and sit Sammy on the bench until his attitude improves, then move him to left since he can't throw well anymore. |

Let's look into the pool of futility... I'll take a wager and say the Royals get into this one. |
