Is Bumgarner the Giants’ Barry Bonds 2.0 for 2010s? #PEDs
Now in his sixth Giants season, one who think someone like Bumgarner, 27, would be able to control his temper and emotions for the sake of the team.

Kaepernick: FREE Speech Turned Upside Down – Team’s Acceptance Gives ‘License’ to Others Free Speech rights apply to one’s ability to speak out in public. But, when one works for a company, – or, sports team, in this case, where he just happens to be making $19 million – he has the obligation to follow the ‘program’ of that private company he works for, i.e. in this case the San Francisco 49ers. If he doesn’t like the ‘program’ in question he doesn’t have to work for that company just as the company doesn’t have to maintain him if he isn’t doing his job/abiding by team ‘play.’ Colin Kaepernick has a right...
more infoShould Barry Bonds Be Given A Statue? Perry ‘Spitballs’ Were ‘Kids Play’
DOES BARRY BONDS WARRANT A STATUE? Voice Your Choice The San Francisco Giants have honored their top players of the past with statues, most recently giving one to pitcher Gaylord Perry (August 13) of the 1960s-70s teams. In answering the question ‘Should Bonds Have A Statue?’ much is determined by one’s own feelings with regard to Performance Enhancing Drugs. Before Barry Bonds came to the Giants in 1997 he was a ‘mere’ .275 hitter averaging 25 homers a year with Pittsburg during his mid-20s -lower combined averages than any Hall of Famers. Of course we know what happened when Bonds and BALCO burst upon the scene in San Francisco –...

Now more than 15 years since he effectively took over the organization – shades of Charles Finley and the early days of the Oakland A’s – Beane has again decimated the team and the morale of all concerned, much like Finley did when he brought the Kansas City Atheetics to Oakland in 1968 .

It’s crazy that Beane is so good at acquiring these players (the Giants could never get) but then turns around and trades them away! It can’t be all about money.

Instead of spending so much time on Tom Brady and ‘DeflateGate’ why do n’t the strong East Coast media come out West to liberal San Francisco and start going after baseball and steroids, which REALLY affect the outcome of ball games in a locale and game where there is little scrutiny of a much more serious issue which also causes injuries and even deaths. DeflateGate was the result of a weak...
