Giants won't invite Bonds back
The Giants will not make an effort to bring back controversial home run king Barry Bonds, even at a reduced price, team President Peter Magowan said. "No, not this team," he said. "We're going in a new direction; that would not be going in a new direction. The time has come to turn the page. "We're very respectful, at least I am, appreciative of all the contributions he made to the Giants over all that long period of time. But the time came when we needed to go in a new direction." The club has also removed prominent tributes in AT&T Stadium to the slugger, who has steroid allegations and perjury charges hanging over his head.

Translation: "We've gotten every ounce of blood from that stone"
As much as I hate Barry Bonds, the Giants were complete and total enablers. They made a whole lot of money off the dude and to now act all indignant and moralistic is the height of hypocrisy And Giants fans can blame only themselves and their terrible ownership for supporting this idiot for what will be years of cellar-dwelling.

They said this at the end of the season for cryin out loud. Hey SI, This has all of us looking at EVERY storyline posted as being stupidly non-news. Certainly more and more seem to be irrelevent by the month. Jeeez!

The Giants made all the money they could by exploiting the homerun chase. Now that's its over, they're showin their true colors by acting like Bonds is a cancer, proving they don't care about their players. They care only for money.

In other news, " Roger Clemens announced that he will purchase the rights to the phrase, 'Throw em under the bus'." He claims that he feels noone has ever performed this feat better, as frquently, as well, or with less remorse than he has.
His wife Debbie, at his side, was beaming with pride and said her time under the bus was shared with many who agreed they'd never experienced anything quite like it.
Although Rusty Hardin loked on with nervousness at the ploy, it showed that Roger was still his own man.

Your efforrts were not wasted. I read and enjoyed your post. However, I googled the phrase "Throw em under the bus" and found it has been copyrighted by Canseco Publishing

Who would? The Giants are having a lot more fun now that Bonds is gone.

Irregardless of the juicing and perjury, Bonds ego was a cancer in that locker room. He had his own dressing room and club space, got to travel when he wanted and was allowed his own entourage. Letting one player get away with that while his performance on the field was slipping (his outfield stats being that the NL doesn't have that stupid DH) I'm sure did nothing for moral in that locker room. Not to mention his continual choking in the post-season (this goes back to his time with the Bucs), why would anyone want him?

Or, what they actually said to the departing juicebag, which was "Hey Barry, don't let the door hit that needle in further on your way out!"
"And Barry, we'll call you for sure buddy. Just make sure you have your Blackberry AND cellphones both turned on, eh?"
