Call it schadenfreude
This made my day when I heard it last night.
Coming off knee surgery and caught up in baseball's steroids scandal, Barry Bonds said he may not play at all this season -- despite standing on the doorstep of the sport's most hallowed record.The San Francisco Giants slugger also said he was physically and mentally "done," and blamed the media for at least part of his troubles.
...
Bonds, leaning his head on a crutch and repeatedly saying he was tired, spoke after a 11/2-hour session with Giants trainer Stan Conte."Right now I'm just going to try to rehab myself to get back to, I don't know, hopefully next season, hopefully the middle of the season," Bonds said. "I don't know. Right now I'm just going to take things slow.
"I'm 40 years old, not 20, 30."
