THE HATE
Steve--
I know you get paid for writing weekly, and have deadlines and all that, but could you come up with something a little more original than an anti-Bonds column? Especially with the head? A little more originality in your writing would be welcome, since every other baseball writer has written about why they hate Bonds, how he is bad for the game, why is his head so big...blah blah blah. No writer investigates other baseball players of so-called "dubious" accomplishment, like Brady Anderson and his 50 homers, or Luis Gonzalez (the Arizona version) and his monster year that is so far off of his career numbers that it is alarming. Get off of Bonds, and try to write something that a thousand other writers haven't already done.

MY RESPONSE
Bonds "almost" retired this week and a lexis nexis search proved no other articles arging him to call it quits.
Your email was very original - every other one I got was about how great it was that a sports writer was finally calling Bonds out for juicing.
Take care,
-Steve
