April 22, 2007 was a quite 'regular' day to say the least. A little bit of speaking, writing and now blogging all wrapped up into one wonderful day. lol...moving on. This is only my second day of blogging and I'm doing my best to get this page up and running. I hope you all see the changes and are very excited and proud all at the same time. Not that any of you have don't have this same stuff but for me it is new and I ask that you not spoil my new found fun. I most likely really should have thought this blog through before I started it but its now full power and away I go.
740!!!---Barry Bonds Homers Again!
It has probably gotten on most peoples nerves, or surpassed that, by now the whole 'Barry Bonds' ordeal. Whether we all like it or not Barry will become the new homerun King of Baseball. I see the only way that changing is if he either a) gets ridiculously hurt --for good, or b) has a change of heart and decides to keep the dignity of the game and stops short of Hank's record and hangs up the glove. I do see it more likely Barry getting a needle broken off in his tush than him hanging up the glove. Most likely though in about a month Barry Bonds will have homerun number 756 attached to his Hall-of-Fame career.
Don't get me wrong and start calling me a Barry Bonds hater or anything of the sort. To face the truth, he and almost everyone else in Baseball was juicing during the mid-late 90's and the early 2000's. So what the heck is the difference between no one juicing and everyone juicing? The playing field will be the same either way. Whether Bonds hits 50 HRs or 200 HRs in a season the fact is he had to jack the ball each and every time. Nothing is perfect and I would bet than Hank Aaron's record might not be fully untainted. Do I have insider information? No, but what in this world is perfect or is pure? Nothing. There was only one person who was and we can talk about that more later.
If you haven't figured it out by now I am a Giants fan and seeing this team go 1-6 to start the season I was almost dry-heaving. However, they have come and redeemed themselves in quite a remarkable fashion going 8-2 over the last 10 games. If this team can stay healthy I would almost guarantee that the Giants will make it into the playoffs. Whether they do it or not will come down to their pitching, definitely not their hitting. When you see Matt Cain, whom has posted a ERA of just 1.55, and Barry Zito starting off your rotation with Matt Morris, Noah Lowry and Russ Ortiz finishing it off, the team has potentially one of the best starting pitchers in the MLB. All I can say though is that win or lose I'll be there to cheer them on, hopefully you will be right there with me.

Wow, I know next to nothing about sports but I enjoyed your post--especially the part about you nearly dry-heaving. Funny. ^_^ I like your new blog edits. Give it some time and you'll have lots of links and other do-dads on here to make people go "oooohhh" and "awwwww."
I've been out of the Giants/Barry Bonds loop since I stopped working at my last job. My co-worker was a huge fan and I started routing for the team simply so she would be in a good mood at work the next day. Though being from near the bay area my teams have always been Giants & A's - guess I can't choose.
I am a Red Sox fan but by default I am a Giants fan as far as the NL goes because I live in SF.
I am a huge Barry fan if nothing else because everyone outside of SF hates him.
