i’ll let others do it…
4 August 2007Defending Barry is tiresome… he’s been a jerk for so long, it’s hard to root for him. But I’ve always maintained that Barry is getting a raw deal… he is singled out, picked on, and mocked by those who he mistreated in the past: the media. The same media who control what is both said and written about him. But every now and then, a writer steps back and takes an objective view of the Bonds “situation” as it has become, and I like to try and point out those instances. The LA Daily News’ John Klima wrote an article today that I really enjoyed, and that points out how biased the media, and fans, have been when it comes to Barry Bonds.
And, for anyone who is willing to devote a little more time to the Bonds issue, I highly recommend Jeff Pearlman’s Love Me, Hate Me.
So tonight, why not try enjoying a game, and watch as Barry takes another shot at the most important, famous, and exciting record in all of sports.
