Gonna Change, there is no way a jury can convict him of anything except being hilarious. http://clintonportis.com/characters.html If Bonds dressed up as Coach Janky Spanky or Rev.

REPEAT. Economists trying to talk about sports. Considered nerdy and very dangerous. Do not approach." Seriously though, I think this is the Journal's idea of an HGH test.......math.

Then again, I'm bad at math also- and I just enjoyed several Brubakers now that I'm officially on a mini-vacation. I think the whole WSJ article is a waste of space. It ignores that the thrust of the whole Bonds story has to do with cheating, not ratios. Why compare Barry to Harmon Killebrew, when the competition was completely different, and one was fed by kielbasa and the other the "cream and the clear"? Also, did that article just refer to "Mr. Palmeiro and Mr. Canseco!?" I need another Mr. Brubaker I think.
