Yankees and Bonds deserve each other
by Bryce Martin

The notion that any Yankees fan would clamor to have their team sign Barry Bonds offers insight as to just how pathetic anyone who is a fan of that tawdry, dog-mange outfit is and to what lowness extreme they will stoop to accommodate.

The fact that anyone is even a Yankees fan is beyond me. Well, maybe not. Manners, class and civic pride are items filed under Lost America.

I am a baseball fan, but of no particular team. I would not be bothered if the Yankees had won each world series in the past 40 years, nor if they had never been in one during that time.

It's George Steinbrenner that rots up the place. I don't like the fact that he knows not one iota about baseball, and has shown it over the years with his inane comments about particular parts of the game. An owner with that much control, and that small of a brain, should keep his mouth shut and stay in the background. He has been smart enough over the years to hire people who do know something, although I can't imagine why anyone would want to work for the sleazeball.

The Yankees just signed Richie Sexson, the steroids-tainted Sexson, but those dear Yankees fans were hoping it was Barry Bonds, the "Satan of Swat." Here's hoping they were the only ones hoping that. It's something to be expected from the lowlifes up New York way, you just hope it doesn't spread.
