Spring Training Fever

The Major League Baseball season has not yet begun, but plenty of stories have made headlines already.

Barry Bonds

The man after Hank Aaron's record seems to be wearing thin. And who can blame him. He weathered a barrage of reports of steroid use, which still remains in the air, as well as nagging injuries, old age, and of course Aaron's record. Recently he went on record to say that this year would be his last. Fine, but now he has gone on to say he won't rule out a 2007 campaign. Barry, for a player that says '[the] game [isn't] fun anymore. I'm tired of all of the crap going on. I want to play this year out, hopefully win, and once the season is over, go home and be with my family. Maybe then everybody can just forget about me,' it sounds like this should be your last year. And why not, his Giants are poised to make a run for the NL West title and have a chance to make it in the playoffs. So Barry, play this year, then we'll talk about 2007.

Ozzie Gullien

Situation like these make Ozzie the man he is, a passionate person who won't back down. Although I have to agree with Ozzie on his comments, I respect him for apologizing for taking the first shot. The White Sox are poised for back to back championships (the topic of a post to written) and Ozzie looks in midseason form with his mouth. Now if Magglio would just do something to piss him off again...

Sammy Sosa

He retired, good.
