A-freakin’ men!!!!!! It’s about time someone was thinking they way I’m thinking. I’ve been boycotting baseball and have yet to even watch a game this season becasue I will not be subject to Bud Selig’s blackballing and collusion against one player. Hank Aaron doped on amphetamines his entire career and every Bonds basher, including Selig, fat ass Faye Vincent and 3rd rate fashion designer Marc Ecko has been sucking his dick every since! Selig is the one who is putting a black mark on baseball. He’s the one who deserves to go to prison! Not Bonds! Good article!

Blake,

I agree that adding Bonds may not “put the Jays over the top” … but what it would, immediately, is elevate them to ‘Legitimate Contender’ status, in concert with the other everyday players in their line-up (when healthy) and their collective pitching staff.

==================

Btw …

Hopefully you can participate, and please spread the word to others you respect.

Thanks

Bonds may not put the Jays over the top, but there are a handful of teams he could definitely help. The Yankees, pre-Nady, the Rays (even though they contend they need a righty, not a lefty), the surprising Twins, and the Rangers could all use his bat in a big way to help with a playoff push. The fact that he’s not in the league is a huge stain on MLB and Bud Selig.

As well as the Jays have been playing as of late and as much as it pains me to say, Bonds will not get the Jays into the play offs this season. I think they Jays can make a late season run, but I don’t think the addition of Bonds alone will be enough to pass the Yankees, Red Sox and Rays.

With that being said however, go Jays.

As I mentioned in this space when the Toronto released Frank Thomas, this edition of the Blue Jays is but 2 moves away from reaching full contender status …

1) Replacing John Gibbons … for which Cito Gaston was the PERFECT fit;

and,

2) Adding a Left-handed Power Bat … for which Barry Bonds is the best AVAILABLE fit, if the team is serious about challenging for a post-season berth this year.

Interesting times, once again, in Blue Jay land.

2 games above .500 … and climbing.

Bonds looks slightly bigger in his Giants uniform than he does in his Pirates uniform. The Giants halloween colours must really bring out the size of your muscles…maybe thats why guys love halloween so much.
