		Bonds over the years has played at such elite levels with such a consistent absence of expression, such a crafted stoicism, that there's just nothing about his body language that would now signal a problem, mechanical, emotional or otherwise.
		Though Bonds always has been given a wide berth in the Giants' locker room, the feeling these days is that it is the respectful thing to do, rather than the product of Bonds' aloof personality among his colleagues.
		Bonds is worried that he'll snap, that he'll "flip out or go crazy or pick a fight because of all the frustration and anger I have in me." More likely is that Bonds simply won't be able to summon the focus at some point, and that's natural.
