Bonding With Barry (continued)

The talks go on.

We're speaking of the talks, that is, to bring Barry Bonds back to the Giants fold for 2007. We've previously said we wouldn't be sad if they didn't sign him. That hasn't changed. Here's the latest Chronicle story.

What's interesting, though, is that the Giants haven't rushed into firming up Bonds's contract. Why? Could it be the results of the amphetamine test they weren't supposed to know about?

We heard brief portions of the interview with Giants G.M. Brian Sabean Saturday from the Giants' Fan Fest. Sabean played it very coy and wasn't very revealing.

Maybe the whole Mark Sweeney episode -- in which Barry supposedly fingered Sweeney as the source of the amphetamines found in his locker -- has finally made them see the light.

Certainly, none of the press will be sorry to see Barry go. Many of our former colleagues in the media have unequivocally said Barry Bonds was insufferable to deal with when they were covering the Giants.

Spring training's right around the corner. There isn't much time left.
