Barry Bonds Looking For Money From Publishing. Really
As "Game Of Shadows" hits newstands — and we even got one delivered to our apartment from the publishers, one we didn't even ask for — it appears Barry Bonds is now "fighting back," if you want to call it that.

Get Your T.O. Slice Of Funk
The official Terrell Owens Web site has been playing an odd game of hide-and-seek with its T.O. Cowboys rap. One minute it's on the site, the next minute it's off. We don't know what its deal is....

Bobby V's Day To Shine
Japan beat Cuba 10-6 last night to win the inaugural World Baseball Classic, a tournament that — save for the Jay Mariottis of the world — was an unmitigated success for everyone involved, save for maybe Al Leiter and Buck Martinez.

Arroyo Ready To Take Cincinnati By Storm
After an brutal spring so far — OK, he didn't really get rocked by a Little League team — rockin' righthander Bronson Arroyo was traded this morning to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Wily Mo Pena. We support this trade, for three major reasons....

Washington advanced to the Sweet 16 with a narrow 3-point victory over... you know what, there's a certain Deadspin editor who would probably rather that this game was never mentioned on this site. So I'm not going to say anything about, other than Washington's Brandon Roy is a stud. And, um... so...
Craig Smith, Hater Of Grizzlies
Immediately after my last post, Illinois and Texas A&M took it upon themselves to make me look like a jackass... not that that's particularly difficult. Illinois went on a 19-7 run and trails by just 2 at the half, while Texas A&M went on a 17-4 run to actually pull ahead of LSU....
