It's Got to Be the Morning After

-Let's get the Barry news (that being Barry B.) out of the way first. Essentially, George Mitchell, the guy supposed to look into the whole steroid thing, told everyone he wants Barry to cooperate. Barry told him to go suck an egg. Well, not really, but he basically said that he can't while he's still under investigation for perjury. You know, we think if there's any good thing to come out of being under investigation, it's that you don't have to answer anything. Did you accidentally delete "Grey's Anatomy" off of TiVo? Can't comment on that because it might interfere with the investigation. Did you steal my turkey on swiss from the office fridge? Can't comment on that due to the pending investigation. See what we mean?

Okay, back to the regularly scheduled sports news:

-The super-lean Warriors just stink up the joint in a loss to the Lakers, 92-67. At least they lost in some sharp threads.

-Sharks trade for Montreal defeseman Greg Rivet. We have no idea what any of that means.

-Are you sitting down for this: new A's manager Bob Geren says he might actually call for the occasional bunt.

-Santa Clara head coach Dick Davey prepares to put that glass slipper on his feet.

-Here's an eyewitness account of this year's "American Idol" stunt the Giants held in spring training.. This time, instead of Barry B. in drag, we got Barry Z.

-The A's want more love thrown Mark Ellis' way.

-There are no stories today wondering if the Warriors will make the playoffs or who the Raiders will take in the draft, for which we thank the good Lord. But we do have a story about just how bad the Warriors sucked last night.
