'tis the season

[yendi]

You know baseball season is starting when CNN has a front-page story about Barry Bonds receiving injections in his buttocks.

(And no, the story is not about a baseball version of Brokeback Mountain, unless Brokeback contains scenes in which the main characters prove to be filthy rotten cheating drug users who do their damnedest to destroy a national pastime).

I still think if he wants to break Babe Ruth's record that he should be required to pitch this entire season.

[yendi]

Fuck that. I want him to pitch the entire 1918 season. If he can't find a Delorean, tough.

LOL. That's funny. No seriously, I think he should have to pitch the remaining seasons of his career. Let him get hit with a ball a few times and the instant gratification given to the fans when they realize that his ERA is worse than Jeff Weaver and Jose Lima's combined would be the sweetest thing I could ever ask for. If you know anything about steroids you know he's been on them for years, it always shows in the bone structure and his head is fucking huge. I think the equipment manager said that he'd grown several hat sizes in the past few years.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you!

I was sure that it was magic fairy dust that allowed him to put on 40 pounds of muscle.

[yendi]

Well, fairy dust was banned in '92.

That explains all the fairy dust covering Robert Downey Jr. when he was arrested in LA. Poor Tink had to go slumming to LA.

The karma gods need to put him out on the DL again this year -- he cannot break Hank's record. He simply can't.

[yendi]

If there were karma gods in baseball, Bonds would actually find a way to produce a negative homer total.
