How appropriate. The Giants are a team that is going nowhere. They have a juiced-up old man swatting balls out of the park, and can’t string a couple of wins together. Today Bonds went deep on the first pitch he saw, and then barely hit number 753 into the basket. The Giants couldn’t take the lead. Bonds’ second homer brought them within 1, but Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry shut the door the rest of the way.

Obviously the Giants home attendance will be sky high until Bonds connects with 756. So they keep trotting him out there. This guy is old, can barely play in the field, and has to sit at least one game a week so his body doesn’t totally fall apart. I would have to think that’s more than a little distracting for his teammates (not that Barry is concerned about that).

What I care about is that the Cubs just took 3 out of 4 from the impotent Giants to go 6 games over .500. Next up for the Cubs are the Arizona Diamondbacks who are 23-27 on the road.
