Barry Bonds: Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera ‘the best’ ... but not better than me

(www.usatoday.com)

Seems as if The Barry Bonds Family Foundation has welcomed a new member.

“I don’t try to compare me to anybody,’’ Bonds said. “I was the best on the field. I did more things than he did. My game was different than his game. So comparing him, to me, there’s no comparison.

“He doesn’t have my MVPs. He doesn’t have my numbers. Well, not yet, anyways.

“But does he have that ability? Yes, he does.

“Does he have that gift? Yes, he does.’‘

...“Winning a Triple Crown is amazing to me,’’ Bonds ...

I don't care play some baseball.

Let's just arrest every baseball player who's ever visited a doctor's office and throw them all in jail at this point.

This just in ... the notebook lists one S Blanks and several references to somebody nicknamed Sugarbear.

Also an arcane entry for "SF = Mr BR"

Anybody who doesn't care to comment is clearly part of ARod's VAST CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE (tm)

This just in: Bud Selig's DNA found on dress of assistant to son of doctor of defunct clinic thought to have had a passing acquaintance to somebody who knew some baseball players.

I was unconvinced of Peralta's innocence until I saw that "Period." after his denial. Anyone who takes the time to spell out punctuation clearly means business. Exclamation mark.

What Peralta is saying is that he took so many female fertility drugs, he now has a period.

Is there going to be an article posted for every player found in these records? If so, why are they appearing one per day, instead of getting them all over with at once?

Well, we'd better prepare the next leak. Take all the players who get suspended between now and then, and let people pay to "implicate" players of their choice. Once we've made enough profit, connect it to a random medical office somewhere with some alibis, leak the results, and let the media do the rest.

My money is on that muscle god Blake Tekotte.
Well, he is the only one left I think that is a client of ACES and went to Univ of Fla.

Some other guesses:
Juaquin Benoit
Shane Victorino
Raul Ibanez
Placido Polanco
Marlon Byrd
Brandon Phillips
Heath Bell
Everth Cabrera

To be fair, his name was found written on the back cover of the notebook: "Mr. And Mr. Jhonny Peralta" written many times with lots of hearts and flowers all around it.

Those are the five guys with 500+ PA last year who hit the fewest home runs, so they obviously have the most incentive to cheat this year.

Just names, eh? It's all about the names.

PEDroia Scandal

*In grade school one classmate tried to frame another by painting a signed stick figure next to the other's locker. This set-up proved unfruitful due to the target's well known slavish adherence to reproducing all stick figure type characters in a low set, squared likeness of Calvin. How common is the 'Jh'onny spelling? I'm having fun imagining Peralta families across Michigan receiving unexpected parcels.

I will be crushed if Jamey Carroll pulls a Barry Bonds and ruins his Hall of Fame chances by juicing late in the game.

How common is the 'Jh'onny spelling?

It's just used in Spanish-speaking countries, because "Jonny" would be pronounced "Honny".
