If you know me then you know my dislike for Barry Bonds. Well after reading this article you will, once again, see why. It's not the steroid issue in my book and for most people. This guy is so pompous and full of him self (just as he always has been). Here are some excerpts:
-----------------------------------------------------
"I did, and then I got fired," Bonds told a group of about 450 people in the audience. "Shame on me, huh?" This after being asked if he really acheived all his feats and acheivements.
-------------------------------------------------------
When Taliaferro asked about Bonds' many splash-hit home runs, the slugger replied, "They call it McCovey Cove, but I've rewritten it a little bit."
-------------------------------------------------------
Actor Danny Glover, asked Bonds whether he would play for $5 million and bat fifth for San Francisco if that were an option for 2008. "I told Peter Magowan, 'If I'm a part-time player, I'm still better than your full-time player, and it's a wise idea to keep me,"' Bonds said. "We still have time. Things might change."
-----------------------------------------------
Bonds also said that if he were running the franchise, the Giants would have won a World Series by now. They fell five outs short in 2002, and one thing the slugger is still missing on his remarkable resume is a championship ring.
"They've been here since 1958," Bonds said. "We'd win a World Series. I know the game so well. I can see talent. I know exactly what I'd be looking for."
Is the club any closer to winning it all?
"I can't answer that. I don't work there anymore," Bonds quipped, then howled in laughter. "My philosophy in sports is you don't break things up. You add to it."
What an idiot.
