Bonds doesnt need to act phony to again become a Giant
In 2010-11, Toronto gave up 105.4 points per game and was the second-easiest team to score on in the NBA. The Raptors couldn’t stop anyone. Since last summer, Coach Casey has changed the team’s culture and in a lockout shortened season, the Raptors surrendered the ninth-fewest points allowed at 94, while holding teams to the league’s eighth-lowest field goal percentage.
''I feel pretty good, but I keep telling you guys, I want to be 110 percent,'' Howard said. ''I have to make sure I'm in great shape, and my conditioning is where it needs to be. It's a process, and we'll get there.''
Steve Nash scored 13 points and Metta World Peace added 12 as the Lakers lost their second straight preseason game by double digits. Pau Gasol had eight points on 3-of-12 shooting, but Portland surged to a 13-point lead in the third quarter while the Lakers' three healthy starters were still playing.[p]o0
Friday night, against the Charlotte Bobcats, Curry netted similar numbers with 11 points, seven rebounds and a hefty three blocks. Granted, this is the preseason and last night’s game was against the Bobcats, but for an injured Mavericks team, Curry might have played his way into a roster spot.
Disgraced Major League Baseball home run king Barry Bonds told reporters yesterday at AT&T Park that he has spoke with San Francisco President and CEO Larry Baer about joining the Giants as an instructor.
A noticeably slimmer, and uncharacteristically jovial, Bonds actually managed to treat members of the media like humans while publicly lobbying for a job.
The notorious, and justifiably reviled, juicehead stated his desire to help "major leaguers (and) minor leaguers" because "his expertise is baseball."
The 14-time All-Star and seven-time National League MVP, who amassed 762 homers, 2,935 hits and 1,996 RBI in 21 professional seasons, behaved nicely because he is a fake weasel with ulterior motives.
It is readily evident that the 47-year-old Bonds, a genuine villain who used virtually every steroid invented to thrive on the diamond, is bored and desperate for work.
Hence, the insufferable outcast is attempting to charm the press to better his chances of again becoming an employee of "Los Gigantes."
Comically, Bonds, an eight-time Gold Glove Award winner who was essentially blacklisted from the sport in September 2007, likely doesn't need to playact a phony to impress Baer.
Despite being a raging abuser of synthetic testosterone, Bonds remains extremely popular in "The City by the Bay" and his credentials are unrivaled.
It is feasible that the obnoxious son of former major league All-Star Bobby Bonds has been humbled and is now ready to communicate in a civil manner.
With or without needless, "the cream," or "the clear," Barry Bonds' "expertise is baseball" and his knowledge at the plate could absolutely benefit rising sluggers.
