Equine emergency

[sigma7]

I'm not fond of horsies, but this makes me sad:

BALTIMORE -- His career certainly over and his life in jeopardy, Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro left Pimlico Race Course with a police escort at 7:18 Saturday evening and was taken to the New Bolton Center of the University of Pennsylvania in Kennett Square, Pa. There, surgeons will perform surgery in an attempt to save his life.

Why couldn't this happen to Barry Bonds?

Best horse breed ever. (http://www.rockisland.com/~schuler/gypsy.html)

Awww. Those're cute. Horses just never liked me. And one killed our poodle. But another got killed by a bobcat. Weird things on the prairie.

At least a Bonds hater (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2006-05-21T014146Z_01_N20270504_RTRUKOC_0_US-BASEBALL-BONDS-BALL.xml&src=rss&rpc=22) caught his homer.

Proof that Bonds is out of touch.

At a news conference after the game, Bonds said he was mystified by such sentiments. "I don't have any idea why anyone would express any hatred toward any other person that you don't know," he said.

Really? You're an insufferable prick and don't know why people hate you?

And ESPN is complicit in this -- shoving this "accomplishment" down everyone's throats, via SportsCenter and that abysmal reality show he's got showing. And I could barely care less if he ties for second place with serious chemical assistance. I don't care, and nobody else should.

Barry can't see past his own horizon. He's surrounded by an atmosphere of sycophants and leeches to the point where he's buying what they're selling. I'd almost feel sorry for him except for the fact that he is, as you noted, an insufferable prick. Die in a fire, BB.
