"The A's, though, apparently have told Bonds that if he signs with them, he
would appear in left field with some frequency."
Wow. How bad can Cust's glove be when a team would rather play a 43 yr old
guy with bad knees and bad hamstrings?

Hell, I'd like to see the Giants resign him, if resigning him means
that Cain and Lincecum are safe from Brian Sabean.
He Who Eats His Young is threatening to pull the trigger on the
Lincecum/Rios deal if he doesn't pick up a slugger from somebody
somehow.

Just a bit of clarification.
The SF Chronicle is not claiming that it's very likely that Barry Bonds will
sign with Oakland.
Rather, the SF Chronicle is reporting that it located and spoke with a
major-league executive, too chicken to let her name be used, who said that
she expected the A's to sign Bonds.
There are lots of major league executives. At least one is claiming to hold
this expectation.
I hope she's really, really mistaken. Because I'll be dumbstruck if the A's
really sign this jackass.
Shooty
Who recalls struggling to root for A's teams that included Dave Kingman and
Joaquin Andujar, and really doubts he could handle rooting for any team that
included Bonds, even if Jesus Christ hisself was playing third and hitting
cleanup.

I could not agree more. You are so right, it is time for you (to go). I'm
so happy
for us, grats.

Not lucky enough to see this happen, but doesn't it sound familiar? The
difference is that I loved rooting for the A's in the Kingman days and you
had trouble doing that just because of one or two players? Geeze you are
pathetic.

And we should care about this why?
Besides, everyone knows that Jesus is a leadoff hitter...

When he was on the Giants, like his brother Matty, he was a spray
hitter who might hit anywhere near the top or bottom of the order.
Felipe was the only member of that trio with any power.
George Grapman
Needs to be further up in the order so can sacrifice.

So you also suffered through the managerial excitement of Jim
Marshall and the debates on whether Mitchell Paige would get in the Hall
and when Miguel Dilone would earn an all star spot.

I wonder what MoneyBall would have had to say about a team full of Jesuses.
And, why don't any athletes blame Jesus when they screw up? I would pay money to
see that.
Peter Lawrence
Because in Christian theology only good things come from God.
Hence, if something bad happens it didn't come from God.

Because it won't be aired. See Kathy Griffin and the
Emmy awards.

I accept that my favorite team will sometimes be bad. I understand that.
I don't accept, however, that a team comprised of assholes, or a team proud
to field the biggest asshole in contemporary sports, can count on remaining
my favorite team. My favorite team is the result of choice, not ownership.

the first pitch you could go to the window and say, "two tickers in
Sec.110 5 rows up" and get them.

So you weren't an A's fan in the Canseco era? Milton Bradley era?
I heard Reggie Jackson wasn't that nice either.
But without those assholes, the Oakland A's have *zero* championships. How
ironic... :-)

Following Moneyball's advice, you'd wind up with a team full of
Obadiahs, Judes, and Habakkuks, guys who can carry you all the way to
Judgment Day, but never into Paradise.
