Bud Selig announced he will allow Barry Bonds' records to stand. It's what the commish had to do. If he disallowed Bonds' records, he'd have to get into the awful business of disallowing the numbers of other players like Mark McGwire and baseball would turn into a bigger mess than [...]
Let me see if I understand this. Kathy Hoskins, whose testimony they reread to the jury this morning, was employed as Barry Bonds personal shopper. Really? You mean people actually have personal shoppers? It's like you want a Big Mac but instead of getting it yourself you tell this person [...]
Grant (Iggy) my son has written a commentary for the Zohn taking issue with a column I wrote about the Bonds trial -- I said it's a waste of time. Grant disagrees -- for this I will send him to his room without dinner. I post his commentary down below. [...]
It's 8 am Monday morning and they just opened the courtroom and let the media in. This is very early. Today, Mike Murphy longtime clubhouse czar for the Giants will testify -- probably about the growth in size of Bonds' head, if it grew. Later, I think, the spurned mistress [...]

The scrotum just got a mention at the Bonds trial, specifically effects of steroids. Defense attorney: Does the scrotum diminish in size with the use of anabolic steroids? Expert witness: No, it does not. OK, now that we've got that settled.
Defense attorney moving to have expert's testimony about human growth hormone stricken from record because there's not enough scientific evidence to support his assertions. Prosecutors are saying the testimony is hunky dory. The judge is listening. The judge sided with the prosecution. Everyone thanked her. People are so polite around [...]
I could have sworn Barry Bonds just fell asleep. I could be wrong. Maybe he just closed his eyes a long time. The cross examination about roids right now is a real snoozer.
Dr. Bowers on bad effect of anabolic steroids: “The East German study shows impotence is one of side effects of anabolic steroids in men.
