a few thoughts on Bonds

Ironic that on the same day Selig crows about baseball's fantastic revenues, Bonds indicted on perjury charges for allegedly lying to a grand jury about his steroid/performance enhancer use... where does Bud think some of the revenues came from? Uh, Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Palmeiro, Giambi and a few of the guys whose names will be in G. Mitchell's report...

If there were a pill or a juice you could take that would help make you among the best in the world at what you do, might you at least consider it?

Between the time he joined the Giants and 2006, Bonds' jersey size went from 42 to 52, his cap size from 7 1/8 to 7 1/4 (with a shaved head), his shoe size from 10 1/2 to 13... maybe he had that adolescent growth spurt a little late. Like 25 years...

Given all of baseball's wealth, according to Bud, how come you don't feel any richer as a Reds fan?

Because the Reds are holding out on you. 2003 payroll: 60 million. 2007 payroll: 69 million. Does that look like a booming industry to you? Either Bud's overstating it, or someone with an ownership stake is getting rich(er)... I'd bet the latter.
