    Actually, federal time is pretty much day for day. They sentence in months, and you have to do all of them.

    On a 120 month sentence, you might get 6 months off for good behavior. It's actually pretty harsh!

      I never actually thought I'd see the day. I still find it hard to believe he'll ever got convicted though and do any real time. If it comes out that he did indeed take anabolic steroids that will give Selig any and all ammo he needs. At any rate, his career is over as no one will want to invest any money in a hitter with this type of baggage.

        Bonds is going to the slammer IMO. There's no way the Feds are going to let him walk for lying to the Grand Jury. I bet he serves a year at least.

          So now Bond's attorney is alleging that the indictment had been leaked to media outlets to let them prepare for its release to the public in total. Normally I'd be skeptical, but think for just a moment.
          This indictment information comes a few days afterMark Fainaru-Wada left the SF Chron and joined ESPN.

          Is something up?

            Yea I heard this from my kitchen. Thing was the volume wasn't really that loud. But when SAS came on he just starting yelling and whatnot like he usually does. His whole thing was about race and he was practically begging the interviewer to ask him if it was about race. They went for it and he had his 30 seconds of venting. He completely bashed McGwire too. He forgot to mention McGwire didn't lie, he pleaded the 5th, which basically means he admitted to taking steroids.

            McGwire pleaded the 5th, which is a Constitutional right.
            Bonds lied, which is a federal offense.

            It's definitely because Bonds is black [/sarcasm]

              I honestly think this is bs, there is many more people who lied, and honestly they don't have enough proof if you ask me, you can't just say because of his body or whatever, that's an opinion. He will get out of this I can feel it.

                How do you know what proof they have? Are you on the case?

                    You are right. They have no proof. The Federal Government just felt like wasting everyone's time and taxpayer money just to go after Barry Bonds.

                      Betcha a dollar somebody signs him. If not, what a way to ruin a career Barry.

                      I thought this was a pretty good article on the subject.

                        Bonds lied... McGuire Lied... Sosa Lied... Palmerio lied and then got caught... all these guys are going to deny deny deny until they are red in the face. If these guys didn't know what they were taking it's their fault. Personally I would indicte all of them. Make all of them held accountable for the actions instead of passing the blame onto someone else.

                              I agree, why just go after Bonds. What about Palmerio who pointed his finger at them and said "I did not take steriods"

                                Look at his rookie card and later cards.
