Yes, coming from the irony of the century department, we have Barry Bonds' soul mate, Barry Zito, who apparently claims in the upcoming April edition of Esquire that he was put off by the egos in the Mets front office when he was debating with whom to sign as a free agent.
"There just wasn't a lot of ego there, which was huge for me," Zito told the magazine about the Giants. "There's a lot of ego in this game, particularly at the higher levels of management
Yes, in case you are keeping score at home, that's one implied charge of arrogance to the Mets, and none for the affably amiable Barry Bonds. The only possible explanation for this is nothing. Some things in life are best left alone. Without explanation. Because they make no earthly sense.

On the other hand, some of your comments pertaining to the Barry & Barry are homies piece from Monday were quite exceptional. For that reason they must be recognized:

David Rosenberg wondered: "Protect Barry from interviews? When did Barry give interviews?" Good question, I was asking the same thing.

RC was referring to the Mark Sweeney story: "You better be careful Zito, next time old Bonds gets caught with something he might say it was your locker he got it from." Indeed -- Zito better be on the lookout.
