Barry Bonds' case delayed 3 months

SAN FRANCISCO - The perjury case against Barry Bonds was put on hold for three months Friday, with prosecutors telling a federal judge they plan to obtain a new indictment against baseball's home run king.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston had told prosecutors on Feb. 29 to fix their original indictment because it lumped multiple allegations into too few counts. Illston said that prosecutors needed to drop some of the allegations from the indictment or add more charges.

At a brief court hearing Friday, assistant U.S. attorney Matt Parrella didn't say when the government will ask a grand jury for a new indictment. Illston ordered the sides to return to court June 6, making it likely any trail would not start before 2009....

So except for the constant media attention, his inability to play very many games, the booing he will get by the home crowd and his obnoxious behavior, why doesn't somebody hire him?

:sarcasm:

1. Barry is getting old
And the substances he took kept him from getting injured. It won' be the same from now on. His power has diminished too.
But we'll see. I wouldn't hire him.

2. Honestly, I'm amazed some AL team isn't taking a flyer on him as a DH

3. Maybe one will if there's an injury...
Otherwise, why pollute the clubhouse with his ego?
