... and the Cubs win, 8-1. The big story, of course, is that Bonds is still at 713, after he was robbed by Juan Pierre yesterday, and shut down by Carlos Zambrano today.
Bonds went 0-3 with a BB today. If you'll recall, the MLB has said that they will not have a special ceremony when Bonds passes Babe. Critical Fanatic, while admitting to be less than a fan of Bonds, disagrees with that, saying "A failure to acknowledge and celebrate this historic moment is more of disrespect to Babe Ruth than it is to Barry Bonds."
Myself, I find it a disservice and disrespect to Bonds. Steroids or not, he's one of the best ever, and becoming 2nd on the all-time HR list is kind of a big deal.
The more important news from the today is that my fantasy teams and Six Pitchers team can rest a little easier tonight knowing that Zambrano finally got a win. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 1 run, moving his record to 1-2 with a 3.88 ERA. May there be many more wins for Zambrano (but not the Cubs!) in the future!

Can I give my "Catch of the Year" award to Juan Pierre instead, for robbing Bonds of a home run? :)
Heh, yeah. That was at least the most significant catch so far of the year.
sean marshall, tonight's Chicago pitcher, may be the answer to a trivia question one day.
So Bonds Didn't Hit 714 Today So It Looks Like A Dodgers Will Be The Future Answer. Perhaps Brad Penny Who Pitches Tomorrow With Hitters Hitting .247 This Year. On Aaron Sele Who Pitches On Saturday With Hitters Going .282 In His Career.
Thanks For The Time Ladies And Gentlemen
