Now I must admit I'm not too unhappy about the latest in the saga that is Barry Bonds. The players union seems to think that there is collusion by the owners since poor Barry hasn't received offers to play for some deserving team. WELLLLL, maybe some of the teams don't want the PR nightmare, and headache's of a complete prima dona on their team. Isn't this AMERICA? Don't people have a right to choose who they hire? Who gives a crap if anyone doesn't want Barry Bonds?
It makes me sick to even hear the players union bring this up. What's next? Any other aging stars, hell average players, don't get picked up and the union will think that the owners are plotting against them? There are a list of players longer than the lines for "Iron Man", who don't get asked to play. Is Roger Clemens phone burning hot with offers? But because it's poor Mr. Bonds it must be people plotting against him. Boo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo.
Some of the fans may shout prejudice! I am. Henry Aaron is still the all time home run champ. It wouldn't have mattered if Barry it 1,000 dingers. Maybe he sees A-Rod creeping up, or any # of younger guys who crank out home runs at an eye spinning pace. Hell, I still see Roger Maris as the single season holder. The entire era was tainted by "roids" and that includes Barry Bonds. Maybe if he wasn't such a mental some teams would try and pick him up. I mean when the Tampa Bay Rays don't want you...
Hopefully this will go away and we can keep focused on what has been a fun baseball season so far. Well, for most of you. I am a Braves fan.
