&box-Talking to scouts, the game plan for opponents will be to walk Barry Bonds at every turn and have him clog up the bases because he can't run. The biggest pain for him is when he decelerates. He couldn't run yesterday in an exhibition game against the Angels, his first action of the spring, and he probably won't push it all season. Bonds talked about the "R" word, retirement, again. "I think about it every year, I don't know what keeps me coming back," he said. "The first and the 15th are something. I don't know, I pay child support, you all. I've got to have a job. "By July you guys will know," he added. "By the All-Star break, August, sometime during that time of the season, you guys will know if I'm coming back."-box&
