Laughable story of the week: "Bonds not ready to retire"

NO BONDS: He turns 45 in two weeks and is under federal indictment, but Barry Bonds still isn’t ready to retire.

The career home run king last played in 2007 for San Francisco, batting .276 with 28 home runs, 66 RBIs and the NL’s top on-base percentage.

“I know the Giants are dying for power, and they’re in it. They wouldn’t have to look beyond their backyard,” Bonds’ agent, Jeff Borris, said Monday at the All-Star festivities.

“I talk to teams all the time, but nobody has brought up his name,” Borris said.

Bonds, a 14-time All-Star and seven-time NL MVP, is awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to lying to a federal grand jury in December 2003 when he denied knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs. The trial has been delayed because of a dispute over admissible evidence.

1. Actually it's CBuptonoy posting attendance figures that have Frisco

at 83% of capacity and getting outdrawn by Fenway park.

2. He wasn't ready to retire last year either, but no-one offered him a contract, including

the Frisco Giants.

3. Even I don't want the Giants to take Bonds back because it would be nothing

but a distraction as we move in the direction of a 6th World Championship.

Agents will say anything in order to earn their pay.

4. I hear the Mets have a position open.

They've been waiting for someone with the right head size to come along.

5. I bet Mr. Mets has more power than this suspicious player:

"...Dear Johnny, make sure you don't let down your teammates
---David Wright"

6. For a second I thought that WAS Bonds...right size,

slightly different shade.

7. I think it's the laughable story of the year
