Bonds And The Giants Just Can't Quit Each Other
Yesterday, Barry Bonds did nobody any favors by endorsing Pete Rose and Mark McGwire for the Hall of Fame, inspiring each of them to put their paws over their face like a goldendoodle puppy.

This Kid Has Never Been A Fan Of Kool-Aid
The young gentleman shown here — the one in the middle — is Rob Jones, a senior at Riordan High in Northern California. He's one of the top athletes in the Bay Area and will play basketball for San Diego in college next year. He seems like a pretty well adjusted kid, which is impressive, considering...
"The Electric Chuck"
In a high school game in Utah — explaining the distinct lack of melanin on the court — a ridiculous downcourt heave brings the house down, as much as anything can bring the house down in Utah.

So everybody wants to hear from Mark McGwire, the slugger-in-exile. What does he think about the Hall of Fame voting? Did he ever do steroids? What was the deal with appearing on "Mad About You?" No one has been able to get him to come out of hiding ... except for abused children, anyway. McGwire sh...
