Barry's Back, And So Are the Memories
It was 7:59 a.m. in Scottsdale Ariz., and even the lizards were holding their breath. Would Barry Bonds show up for his first spring training workout? After all, Bonds had hinted, then retracted, then hinted again that baseball was no longer fun, and that he might retire. Then — 8 a.m.! Bonds arri...

Could Bonds Be The New Karl Rove?
We'd never thought about this before — mainly because politics scares and confuses us — but in a weird way, this kind of makes perfect sense: Barry Bonds is the Karl Rove of sports. Think about it. Bonds sticks to his guns no matter how ridiculous his position; he says he's going to do something, ...
Barry Bonds Ain't Got Nothin' To Lose
Barry Bonds is amazing. Just a couple of days ago, he said he planned on losing a little bit of weight in the offseason, which is kind of like Courtney Love saying, "hey, my behavior is going to be a little erratic in the next few months, but it has NOTHING to do with cocaine. So you know." And no...
The Amazing, Vanishing Barry Bonds
You have to love Barry Bonds. How can you not? Barry is now officially the only athlete (or, for that matter, President) we believe when he says he "doesn't read the paper."...

Barry Returns, Giants Fans Remember What Life's Like
Well, our boy Barry Bonds returned to the Giants last night, and other than the blantantly terrible spelling on the front of his jersey (come on, people; G-I-A-N-T-S, it ain't that hard!), it was an smashing success all around.

A Steroid Family Feud

Suddenly Charitable Bonds Could Return Tonight
We were all set to make fun of Barry Bonds today.
