    Boo-hoo

    Everybody loved that phony Sosa, and he wasn't white. Yeah there are hundreds of assholes in baseball, but Bonds will be the only one pointing to heaven after more of his homers, as he passes Ruth and Aaron. Of course baseball was complicit ... but what's your point, really? The sport has to do something, show-trial or not, and maybe it will take some collateral damage in the process, which wouldn't be a bad thing. You're like the New York radio host, also a Giants fan, who recently blasted the authors for "making money off the book." What country is this again? And how much is Bonds hauling down this WEEK? About $250,000?
