5 million? For another year of Barry? Done. But, some provisos: 1) No more recliner. Your locker is the one next to Rajai Davis. 2) You play when Bochy says you play. That means you're in uniform, in the dugout, until the end of the 9th. By the time you leave the stadium, not only has the fat lady sung, but she's soaking her corns and unwinding with a wine cooler. 3) Fulfillment of a predetermined "goodwill quota". This will consist of, but not be limited to, events spent with fans. It will be an effort to somehow countermand your legacy of steadfast shitheadedness to the fanbase, the organization, the world. 4) Any indictments (hell, any legal action whatsoever) from governmental parties terminates your employment and voids the remaining salary obligations. 5) Two words: day games. You're tired? Worn? Can't hack a noon starting time? We have a cure for that. It's called retirement. Too strict? Then keep walking, Flaxeed. See how your routine flies in the American League. And good luck with all that.

Whatever, the goal of the Giants is not to win games, it's to sell tickets. Usually winning games helps, but if you have a player as universally hated as Barry Bonds on your team, sometimes it's better to take a few more losses to get some fan goodwill back.

Hey, who's that guy in the picture? Some baseball player?
