Bonds among topics at Yankees' meetings
1 hour, 17 minutes ago

TAMPA, Fla. - Barry Bonds in pinstripes? If nothing else, the New York Yankees plan to talk about it.

Yankees officials gathered for high-level meetings at their spring training complex Thursday, a day off for the team before it begins an important three-game series at Boston.

Missing injured sluggers Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada, the Yankees plan to consider ways to improve the team for the stretch run before next Thursday's trade deadline. They've already added first baseman Richie Sexson, who was released by the Seattle Mariners.

Co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner acknowledged he'd mention Bonds, the indicted home run king who became a free agent when the San Francisco Giants did not bring him back.

"I'll mention it. We'll cover everything," Steinbrenner said before the meetings began. "No stone will be left unturned."

Or, you're not the real Forkboy and you've tied him up.

Which one is it mister?

8. LOL
Having a player I don't like on a team I don't like just makes my hate that much easier to organize. ;)

7. They Should Hire Him
I think he could give them some help in gettig into the playoffs. In addition, once they get there, if they do, Bonds being on the team could possblly relieve some pressure from A-Rod to perform in the playoffs. As a result A-Rod might actually become productive since little or no pressure would be on him.

11. I'll start pulling for the Yankees, even though Will Pitt will
accuse me of being a bandwagon jumper and attempt to make my sports life a living hell. (Worse than it already is)!

Nobody needs that scenario to happen. :scared:
