Whitlock: Juice up the Royals with Barry Bonds

Sweet baby Jesus, we agree with Grimace-shaped Jason Whitlock. Yesterday, the Kansas City Star columnist wrote that it was time for the Royals to sign Barry Bonds. Well, it's beyond time to sign the jacked up 44-year-old slugger. Back in December 2006, we begged the Royals to inject some life into their pitiful lineup by trading for Bonds.

Alas, general manager Dayton Moore doesn't sound too interested in the former San Francisco slugger. Moore told Whitlock: "Where we are and what we're trying to accomplish with this team, we're comfortable with the makeup of our team."

Although, Moore added that Bond's past problems wouldn't stop the Royals from signing him:

"No," he said. "Not for me."

Damn right it wouldn't stop Moore. Despite claiming in a church talk that he'd sign character guys, Moore sure likes to collect assholes. Hell, he signed Jose Guillen and Sidney Ponson. So what if Bonds likes to rub cream on himself. At least the Royals would sell a shitload of Bonds jerseys.

Barry Bonds would be a cancer on a younger team or any team for that matter. Why have other teams not signed him to a contract? There are definately teams that could use him more than the Royals do but no team owner wants to bring this "SHOW" to town. He is a disgrace to the game. He will end up being found innocent of his purjury charges all based off of a technicality. How can they prove if he is lying or not? There is not a sure fire way to detect if someone is lying but they are trying to convict him of lying about taking steroids. All he says is that he did not knowingly take them,you cannot prove against that. I feel he has cheated and all of his records should be stricken including the home run record.
