Bonds Return Unlikely
But That Won't Stop Rumors

Barry Bonds's agent says a return of the all-time home run king is unlikely this season, reports Sports Illustrated.
"I'd offered him for the league minimum - $390,000 - to numerous clubs and not one of them would take him," [Jeff] Borris said. "If that doesn't create a level of suspicion I don't know what does. How can a guy who was a National League All-Star last year not have a chance to put on a major league uniform in 2008? He's completely healthy. Everyone knows that his trial date is not until March of 2009, so there would be no interruption with the 2008 season."
Of course, just this morning SI starts their own rumor:
Hideki Matsui's left knee swelled, increasing the possibility he will need season-ending surgery and perhaps giving the New York Yankees reason to contemplate signing Barry Bonds.

Staying Loyal


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
