Are Fans Overly Obsessed With Bonds?

To Juan Avalos, who drove four hours to stand in the rain and scream obscenities at Barry Bonds, get a life before it’s too late. How will you and the other Bonds-haters get your kicks when Barry retires? With no one to scream at, and no one to hate, will your life still be worth living? Enjoy it while you can, Dodger fans -- you’ll miss Barry Bonds more than you can imagine once he’s gone.

But hey, I’m glad you made the long drive down to L.A. For all your booing and screaming -- and even your giant syringe -- the Giants won it in the ninth, didn’t they? I’ll bet that was one long drive back home to Porterville.

I have a new hero and his name is Tim Hamulack. If there is a fund to help him pay his fine for drilling Barry Bonds, I’ll be happy to send him a dollar.

In fact, I’ll send him a dollar every time.

It used to be if you used the terms “the Cream” and “ ‘roids” in the same sentence, you were talking about using Preparation H. How times have changed.

As my family and I tuned in to watch the Dodger-Giant game during Easter, we found, much to our disappointment, that we had tuned into the Barry Bonds show instead. If someone could tell ESPN we are more interested in the game than watching an over-the-hill, juiced-up athlete, we would be most appreciative.
