I don't know, I heard Joe Morgan say that Beane shouldn't be writing any books about himself. In my experience, when it comes to baseball, Joe Morgan is the man. Think I'll skip the book. [/ QUOTE ] Great stuff, Gary, you should be a writer. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
Yes, Michael Lewis of "liar's poker" wrote moneyball.
Why didn't the Giants trade bonds away if they were going to do this anyway?

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
Some teams that may not have been mentioned as obvious possibilities, but could be a surprise landing spot: St Louis and San Diego.
I'd say Texas may be the current front-runner, with Anaheim being the actual preference if they show a sincere interest. But, again, this is entirely an uneducated guess.

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
RedBean,
I dunno mang, I thought somewhere along the line you mentioned Philly. Maybe you like a team from there or something and I associated you with being from there. Never mind then. Oh, and he's totally juicing, I mean it's obvious to anyone who isn't dumb. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
Tuq,
While we are posting about others posting habits. I'm shocked you didn't make a comment about misclicking on a baseball thread. Also FWIW I saw a story about this on Sportnet (Canadian Channel) Connected (Basically Sportscentre except they don't wear ties and don't sit behind desks to seem casual) they interview a bunch of Bonds teammates who say he is a good guy, leader, etc. Than they get back to the hosts and they say I'm not sure how many of his teammates would say those positive things about him. (paraphrasing) Seriously WTF. Also if that was the angle they were going to take couldn't they at least cherry pick the interview clips.

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
Sportscenter had a poll asking viewers if they would want Barry on 'their' team. They then (for whatever reason) divided the responses based on what state the viewer was in. In every state the majority was 'not want on team'. The one that didn't have a 'no' majority was undecided. I assume that everybody was drunk.

Re: Bonds won\'t return to Giants
Pudge,
Let's just say I look forward to the January - March time frame when the NBA semi-dominates this forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] This thread had the potential to not be overrun by acronyms and analysis that I couldn't decipher so I read it. I was right, I enjoyed the speculation. I really can't contribute intelligently to it though. If the D'Backs signed him (I mean this is apparently not gonna happen since nobody has mentioned it) I'm not sure how I would feel. I am basically a lab rat trained to hate the man. But RedBean is awesome IMO so this causes me some internal conflict.
