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 Kimberly Bell will talk among other things about the shrinkage of Bonds’ testiciles. So there will be a lot of growing and shrinking talk in here today.

I don’t usually cover trials, so this is new for me. Really interesting. If Bonds took all those drugs — and I believe he did — he certainly sacrificed his body for the home-run record. Would you do a thing that drastic? I don’t think I would, but I never had Bonds’ ability.
