    exactly.. this isn't the record breaker...


    btw before I make fun of mays does he have some type of disability that could cause his memory to be bad.. because on the espn telecast he was talking about telling barry to go to college and then he said. "i think it was arizona".. after all this talk of how close they are he "thinks" he went to arizona.. well actually he went to arizona state

    IF Frankenbarry yacks one off Roger & then goes through with this dog & pony show on the field, I'd hate to be Edgardo Alfonzo. Showing up Roger in his Houston debut is not a wise move.

    I hope they do the celebration because they will get booed unmercifully for it. If they think they will get a standing ovation from the Houston crowd they need to think again. Like you said it's not a record. If he was breaking Aaron's record then that would be a different story.

    Unfortunately I can't go:(, so my eyes are gonna be glued to the TV when Roger and Barry face during his first AB. It would be just like Roger to throw inside on his first pitch, and I would love it.

    If it's late in the game tonight with a close score, whoever is pitching needs to walk Bonds. Don't make the same mistake twice.

    1st time in history that a pitcher with 300 wins has faced a hitter with 600 HRs.

    Clemens v. Bonds

    Intentional walk to Bonds.

    Bagwell out on 3 swinging strikes. He looked overmatched. WAY overmatched. Scary.

    Woohoo!!!!

    Doggy with a bomb to left center.

    2-0 Good Guys.

    Old man can still pitch. Eight sent down in a row, five by strike out, and only one hit through 5.

    I know, I'm afraid to talk about it too much, like it might get jinxed somehow..

    That last at-bat for Barry against Roger was just wicked. The old man can still bring the heat.
