I hear the Montreal Expos are looking for a #4 hitter

I still say send him to the Nippon-Ham Fighters.

As someone who watched a lot of Godzilla movies as a kid, as well as a member of the first generation to watch Power Rangers, nothing's as fun as imagining Bonds walking down the streets of Tokyo...

Don't even think about pursuing Bartolo Colon or Juan Gonzalez. They're already spoken for.

The Nasty Boys are not pleased, BROTHER!

I understand shriveled African-American testicles are a delicacy in Japan.

I sort of imagine every front office around the country going, "Well...we could sign Barry.....naaaah."

Yet another instance of the Rays disassociating themselves with the "Devil".

Bonds playing in a stadium named after a juice company. No promotional possibilites there.

Mexican League, Barry, Mexican League.

Steroids are not only legal there, they're required.*

may not be true

The DEVILS. The DEVILSSSSSSSSS!!!!

The Barry Bonds ring tone says in a resigned voice of condescending smugness, "This incoming call is absolutely not tainted."

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this the perfect scenario for both the Rays and for Bonds? Apathetic fanbase that won't raise too much of a fuss about the signing, and it allows him to DH. If the Rays want to try and compete in the AL East, isn't a 1-year contract worth the risk?

Best magic trick by the Rays all spring.

"I'm thinking of a number between one and Barry Bonds."
"Barry Bonds? What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. What do you mean?"
"He said Barry Bonds! Quick, give the forgotten team in Florida two days of media coverage during the dead zone between players reporting and the first spring training games."

And people doubt the new management in Tampa.

There was talk among Royals fans about the possibilities of bringing Bonds in...thankfully that subsided into talks about bringing Sammy Sosa in.

@tater: There was talk in English about bringing Sosa in.

Unfortunately, it was the time of day he forgets how to speak it.

Still think he would be a great fit on the Yankees. Are you allowed to have more than one steriod abusing, perjuring douchebag per team?

What's worse than having Dick Vitale on SportsCenter talking college hoops? Dickie V. talking about the Rays! He's a season ticket holder.

I hear Frank Caliendo does a spot-on Joe Maddon impression.

@HugsFromHarold: Does he not have indoor plumbing? 'Cause he could just as easily flush it down a toilet and cut out the middleman...

The greatest trick the Devil Rays ever performed was convincing the world that they don't exist.

Today's Get Fuzzy strip makes fun of the Knicks.

@crazyjoedavola: They can resign Clemens and complete the hat trick

Life of a don, lights keep glowin,
Comin in the club with that fresh shit on with somethin crazy on my arm
And heres another hit...barry bonds
Yeah yeah we outta here baby

I can't help this: That photo's terrific.

@tater:

Who knows, the Rays talk could subside into talks about acquiring Jeff Kent.

"It's a non-story," Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman said through team spokesman Rick Vaughn.

Ricky brought out his 'Eliminator' PR pitch. I would call it 'The Masturbator.'

@Tuffy: I think the Marlins might have something to say about who the forgotten team in Florida is.

I'm just glad barry is wearing clothes again

Say what you want, but the Barry Bonds ringtone is still outselling the Elijah Dukes ringtone.

@OchentaYcinco: Who?

Tropicana, juice, Tropicana, juice ... it's a match made in heaven.

@Its The Beer Talking: That's the funniest thing about that card, is the fact it says "Left Field."

@Jews For Purple Jesus: Now I know Rick hasn't done well with this reporter, but I got a hunch he's due.

some recreational over-40 league team is going to be very, very lucky this year.

@OchentaYcinco: The difference is, the Marlins seem to be doing everything in their power to stay forgotten. The Rays actually hang on to some young talent. If Carl Crawford began his career as a Marlin, he'd have been traded to the Yankees by now.

@LeagueofShadows:

I saw that this morning. Got a good laugh out of it.

@Gourmet Spud: Do you always rip your deadspin comments from the New York Daily News?? :)

awwww join the club, Barry! every other crazy ass athlete lives here...
Glenn Rice
OJ
The Miami Huricanes

@broad street bully:

That, or the morning Frank & Earnest.

@crazyjoedavola: I know you're joking, but that wouldn't stun me. Hankenstein seems to be just that crazy...
