Scenes From A Ballgame

That is Barry Bonds	And that is his Hummer*

No homer for Barry last night. He got a single early, then two pop flies and a deliberate walk. On his last at bat the crowd roared with anticipation, but he was promptly dinged in the foot by the Astros pitcher. Barry calmly walked to first, then walked back to the dugout after his designated runner showed up. The crowd loudly cheered him both directions.
On the walk to the dugout he was close enough to have clocked the pitcher. He kept his cool, but I'm sure the sixth-string Astros pitcher (literally) got the message.
Kudos to Brett Tomko for settling down after a hairy first inning to pitch 8 2/3 and make two clutch sacrifice bunts.
The Astros got two homers from their first two at bat, then the well ran dry. The Giants won 9 to 2.




*I have no idea if that is Barry's Hummer or not. I just like the lo-res look of the shot.
