Anyone going to watch Barry Bonds' documentary tomorrow?

[El Supremo]

The Tenth Inning

I hear he takes up most of the show.

From PBS:

"The film highlights dramatic developments that transformed the game: the crippling 1994 strike that left many fans disillusioned with their heroes; the increasing dominance of Latino and Asian players who turned baseball into a truly international game; baseball's skyrocketing profits, thanks to new stadiums, interleague play, and the wild card; the rise of a new Yankee Dynasty; the Red Sox' historic World Series victory; the astonishing feats of Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds; and the revelations about performance-enhancing drugs that cast a shadow on many of the era's greatest stars and their accomplishments."

3. The Tenth Inning..

is much more than about Bonds..

The film essentially covers Major League Baseball since 1994. Covered are the rise in performance-enhancing drugs, the sport's international flavor because of Asian and Latino players, a new Yankees dynasty and the breakthrough of the Boston Red Sox.

4. I will not knowingly watch it.

However, if someone that I trust happens to turn it on without my knowledge, you can't blame me. Even if I suspect that something is not quite right, and that perhaps I might be, indeed, watching it, I won't ask any any questions. I'll just assume I'm watching the flax seed oil channel like I was told.

:evilgrin:

5. Yeah..

and maybe government prosecutors will intimidate your family and friends until you admit you watched it too..

[hughee99]

6. I have a plan for that.

I will reap the benefits of watching the show, and they can take the blame. As long as they refuse to testify, I'll be fine.

7. This is one of the reasons I killed my TV
