BONDS GOES 0-4 WITH A BB WEDNESDAY NIGHT
I went to last night's game, hoping to see history or a Brewers win (some would argue that a Brewers win counts as history as well). Well, in both respects I was disappointed.

WES OBERMUELLER went after BARRY BONDS two of the three times he faced him. Bonds just missed a first-pitch fastball that sent BRADY CLARK to the warning track. Props to Bonds for not running at all, and not even walking more than halfway down the line. I mean, I know there is no way to discipline one of the best hitters ever, but you just wish that he would have some pride. I'm not even asking for him to run hard, just jog to first. Okay, time to cue all the "I'd rather have a lazy Barry Bonds than a hustling TRENT DURRINGTON". I know, I would too. I just hate to see baseball played the wrong way. Call me old fashioned. Anyway...

Bonds will be in the lineup this afternoon facing VICTOR SANTOS. I guarantee you that if Santos gives up Bonds' 700th he won't
1) Realize what he's done
2) Care that he gave it up once he finds out it was 700

Santos has been a nice addition to the rotation, but the way he carries himself is hilarious. He walks around like his head is about to just roll off because it's too heavy.
