Holy mackeral, is Barry Bonds in trouble now.
Four counts of perjury and one of obstruction of justice against the all-time home run king in an indictment that came down today.
 Maybe now all of those people can be quiet and go awa, those who cried, “but he’s never tested positive” or who complained that all those allegations, backed up so strongly by published reports and leaked testimony and the all-damning book “Game of Shadows” were made up because people didn’t like Bonds’ personality, or because they were racist.
Bonds used steroids to make a fortune, to break all the greatest records in baseball. And he dared everybody to try to prove he cheated. Well, a grand jury is leaving no doubt. They say that he lied every time he was asked about his performance-enhancing drugs.
Now he might be done with baseball, and if he’s found guilty on the 19 lies that led to the counts of perjury and obstruction of justice, he might be done as a free man for a long time.
Yeah, he was a jackass, and yeah, a lot of people didn’t like him even before he started cheating. But being a jackass isn’t illegal. Buying illegal steroids and drugs and using them illegally, and lying to a grand jury, all of that is illegal. Now he may have to pay for all of that.
