It's always baseball season!

Two big big big breaking news story out of MLB tonight:


The grand jury of San Francisco indicted Barry Bonds today, which includes four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice and accuses him of lying when he said he didn't knowingly take steroids given to him by his personal trainer, Greg Anderson.

Anderson was being held in prison in contempt of court and was ironically released from prison today. There is no confirmation yet if the two events are connected.

Bonds' initial court appearance is set for Dec. 7 and he could potentially face 30 years in prison. Love it! Can't wait for his record to get that little star next to it, if not forfeited all together. I believe we've seen the last of Barry Bonds on the diamond.


Also in baseball, Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees have agreed to the outline of a 275 million, 10-year contract, less than a month after he opted out of his former contract. Hi foot in the mouth. You know what? A-Rod is the guy you hate when he's not on your team; so, like thousands of Yankee fans who cursed his championship-killing skills and non-clutch seasons in New York prior to 2007, but will welcome him back with open arms in the spring, I'm quite baffled. But hey, another 54-home run season is fine with me.
