FORT WORTH, Texas - What did we really learn about Barry Bonds on Tuesday that we didn't already think we knew?
He is a cheat?
A liar? A steroid user? An embarrassment to baseball? None of this is surprising. Not to me anyway. What ``Game of Shadows,'' a book by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters detailing Bonds' brazen and prolific use of performance-enhancing drugs until at least 2003, does is finally provide documented proof of what almost everybody felt in their guts.
Excerpts, which appear in the new edition of Sports Illustrated, detail how frustration with baseball's embrace of an obviously `roided Mark McGwire prompted Bonds to start using steroids and provide a definitive accounting of every single pill, injection and dose of the steroids he continues to deny taking.
Which is why this is no longer about Bonds.

It'll be intereseting to see all the booing will be edited out of Bonds' upcoming "reality" show (chronicling his run at Aaron's career HR record).
Mark, Sammy and Barry all were swimming in steriods as evidenced by the sudden balk of their muscles during their homerun streaks. All three started falling apart after 3 years of abusing steroids.
The sad thing is they will all probably pay for it with their health and may die earlier because of it.
Damn!
The Murky News got something right..
