Finally, now that Barry is essentially retired, he gets indicted.
Asterisk is definately needed next to that record.
Way to go MLB; too late, but you got him.
Will they give him a cell next to Greg Anderson, maybe they could be cell mates?

And we all thought Michael Vick had problems: Bonds is in the cross hairs of not only a Federal prosecutor, but a prosecutor that has the weight and influence of a former Senate Majority Leader behind him.

Well, well....I guess Greg and Barry can't be cellmates. I wonder WHAT additional information was obtained. I bet Greg Anderson realized Bonds ain't gonna pay him and he squealed.
BTW, Anderson is/was freed from jail now.
