The game was pretty packed because Barry Bonds was there.  If you have been asleep in recent days (or just don&#8217;t care about sports), Barry Bonds is the focus of a upcoming book entitled, Game of Shadows, by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams (read an excerpt <a href=\"http:\/\/sportsillustrated.cnn.com\/2006\/magazine\/03\/06\/growth0313\/index.html\">here<\/a>) that blows away any thought that maybe, just maybe, Bonds wasn&#8217;t on <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anabolic_steroid\">the juice<\/a>.  As Barry came to the plate, I got my &#8220;booooooooo&#8221; face ready to greet the cheater.  I was half-surprised that he even dare show his face in a baseball stadium under the circumstances.  As I &#8220;booed&#8221; at the top of my lungs, I was shocked that my &#8220;boo&#8221; was drowned out by cheers.  Cheers!  These fans actually cheered the biggest cheater the game of baseball has ever known!  I was speechless.  What does this say about the game of baseball? What does this say about the state of humanity that we would rather see a monster homerun by a cheater than the integrity of the &#8220;American pastime&#8221; restored by not giving Bonds an ounce of additional glory.  Call it a career Barry and stop embarrassing the game of baseball any more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Josh and I went to a Giants\/Angels Spring Training game (one of the perks of living in Phoenix).
