Barry Bonds Is Taking Curt Schilling Deep

We might not get our Ron Mexico trial, but there's plenty of potentially awesome litigation that could come down the pipeline. It appears that Barry Bonds might take on Curt Schilling ... in the courtroom.

Apparently, Barry's not happy about Schilling's comments about Bonds cheating on his wife, taxes and baseball, and he might just take him to court over it.

Bonds began seeking civil rights representation three weeks ago after pitcher Curt Schilling criticized the slugger in an interview with HBO's Bob Costas. "This is directed at Schilling more than anybody," said criminal defense attorney Michael Rains, who is representing Bonds in a grand jury investigation stemming from the Balco case. "Schilling said some things that were inappropriate and potentially defamatory. I know it was upsetting to Barry. We talked about the issue and I know he was talking to some civil lawyers to put people on notice that he has someone defending him."

Yes: We think this might be a fun piece of litigation.
