Bonds ...

[stevepopyak]

I was down at the Pirates/Giants game last night (7/28/06) and the fans were all over Bonds .... the Bucco fans didn't forget that he couldn't throw out Sid Bream from very,very,very,very shallow left field in the 1992 NLCS vs. Atlanta before all of this HR/steroid business started. It was especially nice that he came up with the bases loaded and the Giants trailing 3-0 in the 8th and hit a routine fly to left field.

Sounds like people are pretty easy to thrill in Western Penn.

Well since the Pirates haven't had a winning season in 14 years we're basically just killing time until the Steelers get rolling.

A week or so later.... since the first post:

AB: 11
Hits: 1
HR: 0

He hasn't had more than 4 HRs in a month all year. Still needs 34 HRs to break the record. Here's his year.

APR / May / Jun / Jul / Aug
AB 47 71 48 63 0
Ave .277 .239 .229 .222
HRs 3 4 4 3

It ain't gonna happen.
