Well I can't really understand what you're saying here. But what I'm saying is that it serves more of a purpose to aggressively pursue Bonds than to simply allow he and Anderson to 'play' the system so that Barry could avoid public embarrassment. If the Feds quickly gave up on Barry right after his grand jury testimony, deciding its not worth the time to pursue, then the lawbreaker gets what he wants. I fail to see how that is a good thing.

Bonds was granted immunity. Anderson was granted immunity. If either were concerned about saving us all time, energy, money and media saturation, then they could have just been honest. But THEY were more concerned with Bonds' public image. That's bullshit. That's why the Feds pursued hard. And so you're real gripe ought to be with those two criminals - not with the U.S. Attorneys who did their job.

U.S. Attorneys should have done this job years ago. Why did they let him set the record then ? That would have been funny. No matter what happens all fans know he did steroids . How many players actually said they did the juice? Whose griping when you think one player should take all the blame for all those steroid players. Baseball let this get worse so Feds are trying to stop it. How in the hell is he causing all the money being used? I didnt know he sold the steroids to other players. He didnt want to talk about it to get others in trouble so he denied everything they asked. Some people are toddle tales some are not

Baseball notebook: Bonds likely to assail tests' reliability

Saturday, November 17, 2007 3:49 AM



From wire services
Saturday, November 17, 2007

"I've never seen these documents," Barry Bonds said.
He was testifying before a federal grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative and had just been shown what prosecutors say was a positive steroid test conducted on a player named Barry B.
"I've never seen these papers," Bonds repeated, according to an indictment Thursday charging Bonds with perjury and obstruction of justice.
Those test results might now be the linchpin to proving he lied under oath.

Report: Bonds is training, would like to play in 2008

With his arraignment looming on Friday in San Francisco federal court, Barry Bonds' agent says the all-time home run king has designs on playing baseball in 2008, according to a published report.
"He's training currently and he'd like to come back in 2008 to put a World Series ring on his finger," Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, told MLB.com. "Barry definitely wants to continue playing. So I'm actively pursuing jobs for him from teams that are committed to winning."

Bonds was indicted on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice in November for allegedly lying to the grand jury when he testified he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs. He's expected to plead not guilty.

Yeah, blame the U.S. Attorneys for the fact that Greg Anderson is not a "toddle tale." He's just a good friend right? He shouldn't be a so-called "snitch," right?

I have news for you. If you get subpoened and you are granted immunity the whole concept of "ratting" and "snitching" goes out of the window. You have two choices: Tell the truth or Go to jail. It's not about being a "toddle tale." Our system does not succeed in a vaccuum. It fails when people do not come forward with what they know.

seriously, dude is given full immunity, all he has to do is tell the truth. He decided to lie, the gov't knew he was lying, and they decided to make him pay for it.

Giambi told the truth, took it on the chin for 6 months, and is loved by the media.

In other news, it's rumored Leyland would like to sign Bonds to play DH in Detroit. Just what they need. I still think Barry would be a deadly DH. Lot's of rest, and he still wlaks more often than any hitter in baseball.

I hope the Tigers do it. Bonds is just about finished, so it won't help them much. But it will be fun in Jacobs' Field when he comes to bat.

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Paul sakuma associated press
Barry Bonds and his wife, Liz, arrive at a San Francisco court for a hearing in which Bonds plead not guilty to perjury.



Barry Bonds pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges he lied to federal investigators about using performance-enhancing drugs.
The arraignment in U.S. District Court in San Francisco marked Bonds' first public appearance since a Nov. 15 indictment charging him with four counts of perjury and one of obstruction of justice.
If he's convicted of all five charges, Bonds, who set the career home run record last season with the San Francisco Giants, could spend more than two years in prison.

Bonds draws supporters for his court appearance

Sunday, December 9, 2007 3:18 AM



From wire reports
Gage Flanagan could have been standing in the San Francisco Giants' bleachers the way he reached toward Barry Bonds on Friday and pointed at him in that "you're the man" kind of way.

But he was in the back corner of a federal courtroom in San Francisco, one of just three fans who made the effort to show up early and get a special pass for the courtroom, to show Bonds they still love him.
Court officials had prepared for a throng of fans. They set up a special table with passes and opened the courthouse doors at 7 a.m. -- two hours before the hearing. But no line materialized, and the seats were given to extra media.
That didn't seem to bother Flanagan.

Bonds' surgeon to testify for the prosecution

Bonds' surgeon to testify for the prosecution
By Jonathan Littman, Yahoo! Sports
December 20, 2007

SAN FRANCISCO ? An early confrontation in U.S.A. vs. Barry Lamar Bonds will play out in federal court Friday, although the first chess move was the introduction of a key witness in a court filing Thursday.
Prosecutors plan to argue that Bonds' primary attorneys, Cristina Arguedas and Allen Ruby, have a conflict of interest in the slugger's perjury and obstruction of justice case. To bolster their argument, the government revealed that it plans to call as a witness Bonds' personal surgeon, Dr. Arthur Ting, whom Ruby represented when Ting testified before a federal grand jury in the BALCO case.
Ting drew blood from Bonds in 2001 at the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO), which was the target of a years-long investigation into steroids distribution. According to the federal indictment charging Bonds with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice, two BALCO tests Ting helped conduct came back positive for steroids. Ting also operated on Bonds' right knee in 2005 and his elbow in 1999.
Arguedas represented sprinter Tim Montgomery and football players Chris Cooper, Chris Hetherington and Tyrone Wheatley in the BALCO case.
