Bonds is a narcissitic rat that started taking steroids when he saw what McGuire & Sammy did in ‘98.  There.  I think we’ll be able to read anything and everything about the indictment and the coming defense pretty much everywhere; after (and during) the deluge of any media glut, I just end up thinking about some of the peripherals…

- Isn’t it funny (sad) that the reason Bonds started his Steroid Mile, was that he wanted to get the numbers, and presumably the adoration & attention of his peers and Joe Public.  At least he got the attention part…

- Can you picture how hard the prosecutors were trying to put this case together, before Bonds passed 755?  I picture them weekly huddling together with Selig and voodoo dolling Bonds’ knees, in hopes that he would have to sit this season, ’saving’ himself for ‘08…

- Don’t you just hate Greg Anderson?  He holds out forever - locked up and probably enjoying an ever-growing Swiss Bank account, thanks to his silence, and Bonds still ends up being brought up on charges.  If he’d have stepped forward eary on, Aaron would still hold the record that we all know is truly his anyway.  Besides the fact he probably could’ve made more green marketing his story… he’s a trainer for jeezum’s sake!  There’s no Trainer-Client privilege.  Now that he’s out, I expect to see some ’ski trips’ to Switzerland in the semi-near future…

- There are some that worriedly opine about the zealous hunt to penalize Barry, saying that ‘yes, he’s probably guilty’, but ‘c’mon, the legal system is going to insane lengths to catch him — they haven’t gone this far to catch other reputed ‘Roid-rangers.’  To which I’d say that their mission to indict Bonds was proportionate - if even that - to his (prior to today) place in statistical history in baseball…

- When MLB figures out an HGH test, they should keep it under wraps and just say they are testing for Amphetamines – a little tougher to mask when you don’t know there’s a need… 

- Did Vegas have a line on if or when Bonds would be indicted?  Did Pete Rose bet the over?…

- Using the precedent of Rose (just by the law of averages, using steroids, if after ‘03, illegally changed the outcome of some games, after all)…

     * Bonds should be outlawed from the game (he’s done anyway)

     * Bonds name will never appear on a HOF ballot (never gain majority anyway)

     * Bonds should have a card table reserved for him, 3 blocks from the HOF induction ceremony, for autograph signings (I see a Rose/Bonds/Michael Moore docu-comedy in the making)

On a totally different topic, the discussion on the Patriots should no loger be about whether they can go undefeated this season.  Barring injury, I cannot see anything but a gadfly argument that can oppose this fact:  The Pats will go undefeated in ‘08.
