Santa and his Merry Elves at Work

Remember Barry Bonds? The Pumped Up One is scheduled to go on trial March 2 on charges he made false statements before a grand jury about his use of steroids and human growth hormone. Unlike out buddy Mark “I’m not here to talk about the past” McGuire, Barry’s going to have to. Barry gets busted for lying and denying to a grand jury. McSteroids gets Hall of Fame votes after lying and denying before a congressional committee. Makes sense. When you lie before liars can anyone tell who is lying?


Baseball owners, geniuses all, approved on Thursday a rule change that requires postseason games to be played to completion. That includes play-in games, which technically count as regular-season games. Any suspended game will resume, when conditions allow, at the same site and point where it was left off. If the post-season starts any later and the weather is as balmy as last year’s Series, we can look forward to Christmas baseball.

Bud “Santa” Selig told the Associated Press, “I’m delighted. Given my experience there before Game 5 in Philadelphia, it’s important to have the rule clarified. The rule is now clarified the way I had interpreted it anyway.” Selig - truly a man among men.
