Mrs. Barry Bonds tells the slugger to take a WALK


The former Liz Watson and our Barry Bonds were married in 1998 (Barry's second go around) and have a 10-year-old daughter together - Aisha.

Mrs. Bonds cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed by her lawyer on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Liz is seeking spousal support and joint legal and physical custody.

Depending upon where you go on the web, opinions seem to be split between Liz being a "gold-digger" and totally justified given the circumstances.

Greg Anderson, "The Quiet Man"

Bonds’ personal trainer expected to remain silent

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Barry Bonds’ personal trainer is likely to tell a federal judge on Friday that he has no plans to testify at the home run king’s perjury trial.

Greg Anderson had been scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Susan Illston on Wednesday to tell her whether he would break his silence. The hearing was postponed until Friday at the request of Anderson’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, who is busy with another trial.

The Barry Bonds Drugstore

What exactly is the stuff Bonds allegedly took?

If Barry Bonds took the drugs prosecutors claim he did, the home run king wasn’t strolling through a steroids warehouse and blindly pulling stuff off the shelves. He, or his consultants, knew precisely what they were doing.

Methenelone. Nandrolone. Tetrahydrogestrinone. Clomiphene. Exogenous testosterone.

Barry Bonds is more in the clear

Bonds blockbuster: ‘The Clear’ was legal


It could explain why Barry Bonds’ attorneys believe the grand jury questions to him were impossibly vague and why the focus of the BALCO case veered from prosecuting distributors of illegal anabolic steroids and money launderers to catching world-class athletes lying about drug use.

Bud says Barry Bonds is cheap and motivated


No, not Bud Selig, de commish of Major League Baseball.

No, some sportswriter guy named Bud Poliquin who writes for a Syracuse newspaper named The Post-Standard.

Here's the article: If the subject is pro sports, why isn't Barry Bonds in the discussion?

Basically it is another one of those Barry isn't half bad, rambling articles comparing Barry to all these other guys and ends up saying that 'Barry Bonds is cheap and motivated.'

Well if that isn't good enough, than I do not know what is! Looking forward to more good stuff, Bud.

Bill Price of the New York Daily News, challenges Philadelphia Phillies fans to a reality/gut/truth/honesty check with his article: Phils or Phrauds? Y*u decide.

He did have to admit one Phillies fan sign that “Babe Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer,” was a classic, however.

A selection of Barry Bonds' comments regarding PED use:

  • "Doctors ought to quit worrying about what ballplayers are taking. What players take doesn't matter. It's nobody else's business. The doctors should spend their time looking for cures for cancer. It takes more than muscles to hit homers. If all those guys were using stuff, how come they're not all hitting homers?" -- May 21, 2002, Associated Press
  • "No. I don't have to [use steroids]. I mean, I'm a good enough ballplayer as it is. I don't need to be any better. I can't get any better at this age." -- June 2002, On the Record with Bob Costas
  • "I never asked. When he said it was flaxseed oil, I just said, 'Whatever.' It was in the ballpark.. in front of everybody. I mean, all the reporters, my teammates, I mean they all saw it. I didn't hide it." -- Dec. 4, 2003, during grand jury testimony, according to the San Francisco Chronicle
  • "I don't know Tim Montgomery. I've never met him. When accusations come from someone you don't even know, what can you do?" They'll be talking to my lawyer." -- June 25, 2004 to USA TODAY in response to allegations from a former world-class sprinter that he received steroids from BALCO
  • "All you guys lied! All of y'all and the story have lied. Should you have asterisks behind your name? All of you lied. All of you have said something wrong. All of you have dirt. When your closet's clean, then come clean somebody else's." -- Feb. 22, 2005, first public comments after testimony was leaked
  • "I don't know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it. I don't believe steroids can help eye-hand coordination [and] technically hit a baseball." -- Feb. 22, 2005, first public comments after testimony was leaked
  • "You wanted me to jump off the bridge; I finally have jumped. You wanted to bring me down, you've finally brought me and my family down. You've finally done it. So now go kick a different person. I'm done. I'll do the best I can and that's about it. [I'm talking about] inner hurt. I'm physically, mentally done. I'm mentally drained. Tired of my kids crying." -- March 23, 2005 on MLB
  • "I went through the system. And that's what it is. And that's what I got. I went through the system. I'm in an appeal process right now. I was never convicted of steroids. Do I have any regrets? What happened happened. It's there. It is what it is. I live with it. I'm a convicted felon for obstruction of justice, and that's who I am. I live with it." -- May 29, 2012
  • "I gave my life and soul to that game. That's what's heartbreaking. That's the hard part of it." -- May 30, 2012 on MLB
  • "Not winning? [the 2002 World Series] It doesn't stick with me anymore. Right now, it's just good to see everyone and have a good time. Win or lost, it's nice just to come home and reminisce with each other." -- July 1, 2012
  • "Oh, without a doubt. There's not a doubt in my mind." -- August 6, 2012
