Breaking News On Bonds . . .

Yes, The Onion's writing is often prescient and smart; that's part of what makes it so funny. But this article on Barry Bonds captures the entire situation as well as anything I've read, humorous or otherwise. It sums up what bothers fans everywhere so much: we’re not idiots and when baseball management or baseball players ask us to ignore our sensory perception, it’s insulting. I mean, I used to make this same joke but about Jose Canseco . . . in the early '90s! Even then, the idea that we were just supposed to pretend guys weren't juicing was funny precisely for its absurdity. This is a great, great article. I’m going to attach it to my refrigerator, perhaps with some sort of magnet.
