Appeals court upholds slugger Bonds' conviction - Where is cboy4????

[El Supremo]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal appeals court in San Francisco on Friday upheld former Giants slugger Barry Bond's obstruction of justice conviction stemming from his 2003 testimony to a grand jury investigating performance enhancing drug use among elite athletes.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Bonds' response to a question about whether his trainer, Greg Anderson, had ever given him any self-injectable substances was ''evasive, misleading, and capable of influencing the grand jury to minimize the trainer's role in the distribution of performance enhancing drugs.''

Bonds gave the testimony before a grand jury in December 2003 after prosecutors asked him whether Anderson had ever given him ''anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with?''

Bonds is now facing 30-days' home confinement as well as two years of probation, 250 hours of community service and a $4,000 fine.

The wheels of justice are mighty slow in foggy Frisco.

2. I know

a slap on the wrist. I take some solace knowing the following:

• Baseball fans will remember the tarnished image as long as there are baseball fans -- one of baseball's all-time prima donnas and one of baseball's all-time biggest liars.

• His asterisk ball is the closest he'll ever get to Cooperstown. The ultimate humiliation.

• Limited-to-no future endorsement earnings. At least not the big deals.

• Millions of his own money wasted on lawyers and in court.

Some legacy.
