Baroid Comes to town.

Good day.

Well, Baroid Bonds is in town... I personally was pulling hard for walking him every time up. Ned did not do that. Much to my dismay...

But he was pitched very carefully, and went 0-4 with a walk. I'm fine with that.

Just to be clear, in my humble opinion, it would be a disgrace for him to go deep here in Milwaukee. It would be disgusting.

Really, If I'm Ned (Yost, manager of the Milwaukee Brewers), I don't want my pitchers appearing in highlight films for the rest of their lives... no way.

Brewers lost anyway. In a true display of irony, our pitchers walked EVERYBODY BUT BONDS!!! Nice, fellas. You were supposed to Walk BONDS, and pitch to everyone else!!! Doh!!!!

Kind of like a scene from a bizarre parallel universe... Bonds was pitched to, and a boatload of walks were given up to the rest of the team. At one point, three batters were walked to load the bases, then one was walked home, then a wild pitch scored another...

But we pitched to Baroid Bonds. How absurd is that. That is very absurd.

Next week, we're going to review the USA Today's top 25 NFL Players of all time. They've been revealing a list, a player a day, extolling their virtues...

So, for a coming attraction, let me say this: I have some real problems with this list.

We will discuss. Yesterday they revealed #2, Jerry Rice. I presume #1, Joe Montana, will be revealed Monday. I have no problem with those two. Deeper in the list, however, there are some real oddities...

Until then!
