Breaking News - Bonds to Retire After '06

Could it be true? Could I finally be rid of the man I dislike most in all of sports? According to USA Today that day maybe less than a year away.

"I'm not playing baseball anymore after this," Bonds told USA TODAY in a wide-ranging telephone interview near his home in Beverly Park, Calif. "The game (isn't) fun anymore. I'm tired of all of the crap going on. I want to play this year out, hopefully win, and once the season is over, go home and be with my family. Maybe then everybody can just forget about me."

Barry, we would all love to forget about you. Every time we see you we have to wrestle with the idea of you breaking the all-time home run record and being hopped up on the juice while you were doing it. How can you bitch about getting attention for the steroids scandal when your best friend and trainer, Greg Anderson, was a major player in it. That, and the fact that nobody believes you thought you were taking flaxseed oil or an arthritis balm. The only thing we all hate worst than a cheat is one that lies about it. Go ask Palmeiro about that.
