What a strange day for Major League Baseball...

1.) Barry Bonds is finally indicted on federal charges after months of idle threats by the government.

Personally, I think it's bulls(h)it of the highest degree.  They needed a witch, so they picked one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game.  What it really does is rubber stamp a giant asterisk over the entire sport . 

We all know Bonds is a d0uche-bag to the media and it makes it sweeter to rip him apart in their eyes.  It's just sad!

Finally, I'm white and I have no right calling for the race card, but Barry's skin color is probably another reason why they are letting him take the fall.  What about Mark McGuire and Rafael Palmero?  Why they exempt from the indictment?  I call shenanigans!

Next time any of you see Mr.Canseco, please remind him that Mr.Bonds was able to hit the ball even before he became a 250 lb monster...how 'bout you, Jose?

2.) A-rod is about to re-sign with the Yanks.

Thank f'ing God, as a Mets fan, I felt a strange vibe coming from the reports out of their camp.  Almost a common understanding that if they could fit him in the infield, it didn't matter if he wanted to hold us hostage for 10 years and rob us of any chances for a pennant.

I hate the Yanks, but I'm happy they will still be in contention with Alex's big bat leading the charge.  I've never been against him as a player, I just think he would have been a bad signing decision for any team other than the Yankees.  They have the money and need to fill the hole, they have decent pitching and youth already and they were wise not to fall into the Cabrera trap.  Nothing good will come of Cabrera in pinstripes, plus you'd watch Hughes or Joba killing in Florida and finally being traded to Boston come arbitration years. 

I think it's funny that the Yankee's feel they won something out of all this craziness that Scott Boras created.  Wow, big friggin' deal you got A-rod to sign without the super-agent sucking the marrow.  He still got what he wanted, more money over 10 years.  So now, when A-rod is 42, he will make 35million that season.  Stupid...very stupid, almost as stupid as giving an over-the-hill closer 45million for 3 seasons...isn't he 37 and hasn't he lost a good deal of stuff?
