Barry Bonds Is Leaving San Francisco Giants (Finally?)
The Giant organization is about to announce that they will not be offering Barry Bonds a contract for 2008 (surprise, surprise, surprise eh?)
Bonds is now saying he’s disappointed & ticked off that he didn’t have more time to ‘say goodbye properly”. He thinks the front office planned this a long time ago & I’d bet he’s right. In all seriousness, what did he think was going to happen? The way I see it, there’s really not much either side has to offer one another now.
I would have said the same thing at the end of his last (injury hampered) season, but with that darned record looming, what choice did the G’s have but to keep him & enjoy all the money that would inevitably flow their way. Knowing that kind of cash would be coming in allowed them to offer the most expensive contract ever for a pitcher, who they said they wanted to specifically keep the media off Bonds’ back – which Zito did by sucking rotten eggs for the first half of the season.
So any thoughts on this out there? He says he’s not going to retire. He wants to try & get a World Series Ring which probably means he’ll be a frickin’ Yankee. Then I’ll get to officially hate him so that makes me happy. J

Even Budweiser Will Not Forget...
I found video this too late to include in the Patriot Day post, but wow, it's just so touching. Apparently this was aired only once on 2/3/02 during the Super Bowl XXXVI. It's their commercial called Clydesdale Respect.
Although it certainly won't incline me to drink Bud over Newcastle, I do appreciate that such an American icon of a company would take it upon themselves to honor those affected by 9/11.

Duck Cougar Fight!
The U of O Duck wins of course... I love the cover song that accompanies this video too, well, I just love cover songs in general I suppose.
Many folks thought this was staged & I tend to agree. The Duck would have to have some serious moxie to start that stuff at Autzen Stadium. The Duck was suspended for a game afterward though.

Pics From The Marin Pet Expo This Weekend...
King got to go on his first outing in an attempt to socialize him with all kinds of dogs this weekend. The Marin Pet Expo at the Marin Center in San Rafael was crowded with tons of dogs & their people, plus 44 agencies all collaborating for a huge Adopt-A-Thon! Over 175 animals were successfully adopted over the weekend!
Even with all the different types & breeds everyone had out, King was surely the star of the show! So many people we literally tripping over themselves just to meet him that we didn't get much of a chance to look around or enter any of the contests. Plus we spent half the time looking for sunblock cause I was a terrible mommy & forgot to bring some for his adorable lil pink nose!
It was a great day for him though. King was a trooper til the sun took it's toll & he passed out for a nap. He even painted his own pictures for a Non-Profit company called Paws For Love for a fund raising art auction to be held in February. They loved the heart on his coat so much their photographer took pics of him to be their new spokes puppy! I'm sure I'll post more on his success as an artiste soon!
Anyhow, here's a cute shot of him all ready to get the day started:
& this is us out on the pond pier at the Marin Center:
Then we met new friends:
This is Fiaan, he's a gorgeous harlequin dane who's also just a puppy:
His daddy let me take a pic with him & I had a bit of trouble controlling him - & he's only 8 months old & 120lbs! That'll be King in another 3 1/2 months!

Yankee Stadium Proposal Prank...
Further proof that Yankees Fans Suck & deserve bad things that happen to them! ;->
Actually this is just plain funny... & kinda sad.
How hard would it have been for the prankster to let her in on the idea beforehand?
Thanks to B&P for the find!

Happy(?) Patriot Day
How are we supposed to be celebrating this holiday? I have my flag out at home of course, but should we be dressing in Red, White & Blue like we're a proud country today? I'm not necessarily proud of the state of our union, more saddened by the reminder of all that shattered for us six years ago. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel so I'll mark the occasion with a short poem & some of the most touching pictures & artwork I've found: Enjoy...
Never forget what we saw
Never forget what we felt
Never forget what we lost
Never forget what to be thankful for now
Never forget what we will always fight for
Never forget what a difference you can make
Never forget what we saw
Never forget what we felt
Never forget what we lost
Never forget what to be thankful for now
Never forget what we will always fight for
Never forget what a difference you can make
