"MVP" Bonds explodes during conference call
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/10193029.htm?1c

After only the second question - was this season more satisfying in light of the adversity Bonds faced? - the first signs of surliness emerged.

"I've been dealing with adversity my whole life, so I don't get concerned about what you guys write," Bonds said from Beverly Hills.

And the Giants' slugger became more exasperated with each subsequent BALCO reference, eventually ripping the San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman. The Giants' beat writer asked Bonds to respond to an Oct. 16 Chronicle article about Greg Anderson, Bonds' trainer. Anderson was quoted as saying Bonds used "undetectable" performance-enhancing drugs during the 2003 season.

"Henry, you know me," said Bonds. "I don't react to anything you write." Bonds then exploded, demanding names of the reporters who wrote the Oct. 16 story, Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada.

"Who are they?" Bonds said. Schulman stammered for a second, and then only got out "Lance," before Bonds interjected, saying. "If they are from your company and you don't have names, how are you supposed to believe what you wrote?" Schulman was silent for several moments before Bonds sarcastically asked, "Anything else? I'll be happy to please you. I don't owe you a response. I don't owe anyone a response to anything."

3. good thing henry didn't ask him to respond to sheffield's allegations..
about "the cream". But Sheff's probably lying too, just like everyone else. Right, Barroid?
