The latest from Barry's World:It's not official yet, but the Hollywood Reporter reported last week -- and the Giants confirmed -- that Bonds is in talks with ESPN and Major League Baseball for a reality show that would air every Tuesday night during the baseball season.
Tentative working title:"I'm not a jackass, I just play one in real life."

quote of the day:
The only way out of this hideous embarrassment is for Bonds to quit. Now. I�fm not going to stay up waiting for him to do so. It would take a man of honor and integrity to take such a step, and we�fve already seen time and again that those are qualities foreign to him.

on barry bonds:
"Maybe this epic cheater will save everybody a lot of trouble and blow out his knee again this season. Then, the only thing MLB will need to do is wait until August of 2012 for the Hall of Fame ceremony that will take place without him.
A Barry Bonds juice stand in Cooperstown would be nice. Right next to wherever Pete Rose is hawking his signature." --Bill Conlin

Too bad you can�ft administer them in a syringe.
Thank god he has no integrity and honor. The Giants need him to win the division. And even the World Series
TOKYO (AP) - Japanese baseball fans were outraged over a controversial call in the World Baseball Classic that helped the United States beat Japan on Sunday.
With the score tied 3-3, Japan appeared to score the go-ahead run against Joe Nathan in the eighth when Akinori Iwamura flied to left with one out and the bases loaded. Tsuyoshi Nishioka tagged up from third and beat Randy Winn's throw home to give Japan a 4-3 lead.
Second base umpire Brian Knight ruled Nishioka safe but Team USA appealed the play, contending Nishioka left the base before the ball was caught, and plate umpire Bob Davidson overruled the call following a brief discussion with the other umpires.
It didn't appear Nishioka left before Winn made the catch on the television replay.
"It was a terrible call," office worker Shoichi Enomoto said a day after the game. "When you have the best players in the world competing, you should have better umpires. We were robbed."
Even Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi weighed in on the call.
"It clearly looked like we were going to win," Koizumi said. "It's a shame to lose on such a strange call."
Davidson is one of 22 major league umpires who lost their jobs in the 1999 labour dispute. He's now a minor league ump who fills in at the big-league level.
In the bottom of the ninth, Alex Rodriguez hit a bases-loaded, two-out single to give the United States a 4-3 victory in the opener of Round 2.
Several Japanese baseball commentators pointed out that Nishioka was shifting his weight to his front foot before the ball reached Winn's glove but that his back foot was still on the bag and Davidson might have been fooled by this.
Former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine, who manages Nishioka on the Japan Series champion Chiba Lotte Marines, was quoted in the Nikkansports newspaper as saying "It was a bad call."
"I wanted to cry," former Hanshin Tigers manager Senichi Hoshin said. "(Sadaharu) Oh and his players did such a good job and to lose like that is devastating."
Japan will play Mexico on Tuesday before facing South Korea the following day in Anaheim.
