ESPN on Baseball Tonight this evening reported that MLB officials have said that Bonds will be indicted on perjury charges "within the next couple of weeks."

Time will tell.

Woo-hoo! It's too much to hope it would happen while I'm out there for a long weekend starting tomorrow, but still, woo-hoo!

Your government's priorities on display. Pathetic if true.

Our government, William. We are all under one government, like it or not.

What exactly are the ramifications of this? Do they put him on trial? What sort of penalties could they bring down?

Exactly HOW does MLB get grand-jury testimony leaks? (espn.com)

Looks like it's bad reporting about the indictment:

From ESPN.COM

While Barry Bonds' legal team is prepared if the Giants slugger is indicted on perjury and tax evasion charges, it remains hopeful it won't have to mount a defense at all, attorney Laura Enos told Bloomberg News.

"I am not expecting nor is anyone else on the team expecting an indictment," Enos told Bloomberg in a telephone interview. Enos told the news service that if the government "had the evidence they would have indicted him a long time ago."

The Associated Press reported Friday that Bonds' legal team was preparing for the outfielder to be indicted as soon as next week.

However, Enos told Bloomberg that prosecutors "have nothing" and their witnesses "never saw Barry taking anything."

Enos said being prepared is a "far cry" from saying an indictment was expected. "What is not a fair characterization is that somehow we were letting the public know it's coming down."

Bonds hit his 721st homer Sunday, connecting off Brett Myers in the sixth inning of the Giants' game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bonds hit his 13th homer of the season on a 3-2 pitch from Myers, who became the major league-record 427th pitcher to allow a homer to the San Francisco slugger. The solo shot barely reached the stands in left-center, and the ball was fumbled back onto the field.

Bonds, who passed Babe Ruth for second place on baseball's career list on May 28, trails Hank Aaron by 34 homers.

If charged with perjury and convicted, Bonds could face up to five years in prison. He could face another five years if charged and convicted of money laundering.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Sorry Bonds haters. No indictment. I hope you're totally miserable. He hit #722 tonight...

GO BARRY!

Wow, BillSF, how are you able to type with your head buried so deep in the sand? Here's another news flash for you: the Earth is not flat.

Well there's a new grand jury, and the bad news for Bonds: MLB has uncovered new evidence. Yep, the old plastic molds used for Pittsburgh Pirate Barry Bonds bobblehead night at Three Rivers Stadium in August 1990.

That's to the left.

Then there's the one from last year as a Giant (to the right).

Not miserable, but somewhat the same feeling I had for another Bay Area legend, OJ Simpson. Just not as much due to the differences in circumstances.

At least we here in Buffalo were able to believe he did something wrong, regardless of what the result of the legal process was.

These days he certainly is not revered like he once was, even here where he set the standard for single season rushing(which no one else has done in 14 games since).

Maybe someday Bonds fans will figure it out as well.

Nah....

How much you willing to bet that Bill would be singing a different tune if Barry were doing all this while wearing Dodger Blue?

And before anyone says we all support OUIR teams, I was always evry critical of Randy Moss' antics, the Vikings Sex Cruise, Kirby Puckett, etc.

You forgot a word: "Yet."
