Update on the Barry Bonds perjury trial.
Quick summary: the prosecution shot themselves in the foot, but still have a slim hope of getting a conviction. The defense has yet to have their turn.

Every time I read about the Bonds trial, the prosecutors are presenting evidence of what Anderson did. I keep thinking they sure have lots of evidence against that guy, but that's not who is on trial. All that Giambi testimony didn't even seem to be relevant to Bonds.

I'm not sure if I'm still on an April Fool's hangover or if this smells fishy for a reason. If it's true graymatters and Atheist win this thread.

Actually, Atheist hit that one out of the park if it's true.

Atheist, can you pick me some numbers for the next Power Ball? I will share.
It is almost like you were wearing a big turban with beads and feathers. Hiyoooo!

It's still just a rumor, and a pretty hateful one, I think.

It also appears to be false, based on this photo of young Matteo Nash and his mom and sisters.

Damn it. My bad. I should have waited until I could have sniffed it out some more.

Glad to see I'm not the only Arizona Foothills subscriber 'round these parts.

The pressure is already getting to Carl Crawford, and he hasn't even stepped foot in Fenway Park yet?
Yikes.
