There's Nothing Sadder Then a Guy Who Misses Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens

... of milestone chases. He wraps up his deluded trip through recent baseball history and leaves us with this thought. The game is still great, but it's games we watch now, not moments. That's not necessarily bad, but it sure is different. Woe is us, forced to watch games instead of bloated superstars chasing records. I'll be crying in my soup tonight while I watch the surprising and intriguing Marlins face the red-hot Edinson Volquez. (H/T BBTF)   Permalink | Email this ...

Barry Bonds Witchhunt Tightens The Noose

FlyMaster posted 5/14/2008 from ballhype.com

The Feds just laid another 14 counts of perjury and one count of obstruction on Mr. Barry Lamar Bonds, thus bringing the witchhunt to ridiculous levels.  Good to see the Feds are hot on the case.  You bastards.  This action guarantees the following will happen in the next 2 years. 1.

Baseball History — As Seen From The Shadows of Cooperstown: Part X

Dave Rouleau posted 5/14/2008 from seamheads.com

This was supposed to be an issue covering the 1990s, but it turns out that it just covers the first five years of that span. I predicted a somewhat different take on this decade, and I was right about that. But I had not expected my excerpting and reflecting on my old scorebooks, to take up so much space.
