Your requisite Barry Bonds post

Barry Bonds has been indicted.

Obstructing justice and perjury are much worse than simply taking steroids. What’s worse, having your all-time home run king have an asterisk or be behind bars? I don’t actually think Bonds is going to be found guilty of either perjury or obstructing justice or spend significant time in jail, but that there’s a real chance of this is bad for baseball.

Oh, and as The Smoking Gun finds, the government says it has proof of a positive test for an anabolic steroid.

Not a good day for Barry Bonds or baseball, even though we all expected this and saw it coming.
