VICK-LESS!! by Harry Robinson on September 10th, 2007
Barry Bonds hit No. 754 against the Flordia Marlins on Friday, July 27th, but to me it sure is taking a long time for him to hit these last couple of homeruns. In the last couple of games he has played there were times where he didn’t hit the ball at all and if he did hit it it didn’t go anywhere. Last night they lost to the Marlins 8-5 and he was 1-for-4 with an infield single. He is just one homer shy of tying with “Hammerin ” Hank Aaron. Bonds would like to set the record at home, but the Giants have a six-game road trip to Los Angeles and San Diego before returning for a weeklong homestand against Washington and Pittsburgh. One good thing about the wait is that Commissioner Bud Selig has had a change of heart and will be in attendance at Dodger Stadium for the series opener. So lets see how soon he can get it done.
