Indicted: Barry Bonds!
Back during his halcyon days. Presumably.
Dude. Duuuuuuude.
After a four-year federal investigation, today cranky baseball icon Barry Bonds was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice. Ouch. And Jesus. He's like Pete Rose, but worse. Which? Again, ouch.
According to CBS 5, "[w]hile Bonds was chasing Aaron amid the adulation of San Franciscans and the scorn of baseball fans almost everywhere else, due to his notoriously prickly personality and nagging steroid allegations, a grand jury quietly worked behind closed doors to put the finishing touches on the long-rumored indictment." Prickly is sure putting it mildly.
The indictment, as many of you already know, stems from Bonds (alleged) tissue of lies he hurled at a grand jury about the BALCO steroids distribution ring. According to the Chronicle, "former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent called the prospect of Bonds' indictment 'a terrific blow to the game,'" and a blow it is. Anyway, this effectively removes whatever sheen remained on the Bonds star. RIP, dude.

May he experience the three most dreaded words an inmate can hear in his cell at night:
"I'm horny, bitch."
Which baseball players go down next?
If you're going to post a pic like this, you need another of his roided out self. Kind of like a before and after shot. Like this:

Let that be a lesson kids: do drugs, go to jail.
Um, here's at least one San Franciscan who wasn't cheering him on or adoring him.
Well he's played his last pro game. What a way to end his career.
Even if acquitted, probably no H of F - though they will make room for the ball with the asterisk (as they should).
His ego got the better of him. He cheated - it is time for him to admit it.
PS. You know Halcyon is a drug too, right? George Bush Sr., was a big fan. Had a prescription for years. Benzo; gets you high, then puts you to sleep.
he's not a giant anymore. who cares? every professional athlete since the beginning of time has lied, cheated or date raped someone in one way or another. maybe this will become a great reason for folks to encourage their kids to actually study in school.
