When Bonds came back last year, he wasn't pitched around much more than usual. And, of course, most pitchers realize that statistically speaking walking Bonds every at bat is worse than pitching to him.

I think there are enough pitchers in the national league that view bonds as a plague, and with out a whole lot of protection in that lineup it would be easy to pitch around bonds. The fact that he's closing in on arguably one of the greatest records in all sports, i'm sure pitchers don't want to be the one to give up that homerun. My hope is that David Wells gets to face bonds before Ruth's record is broken, because i'm sure Wells would try to end his season.
Well, how about I hope that Bonds hits a screamer back through the pitching mound and ends Wells' career?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well, I'd be happy with either of two people now. I hope asleepatthewheel picks soon and such."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

I'd have to think about which one I want more.

I left two picks with Berz, and asleep can pick at most one of them. I'm sure both will be gone shortly."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran
