The Bonds Ball

I’m glad that home run 756 has made it to the Hall of Fame.

I will not dignify the thing that was done to the ball nor the name of the man that did it, nor will I display a picture of his marketing logo.

However, I’m glad the ball is there. It is baseball history, and Bonds may not be the kind of hero you wanted him to be – but it’s way too late for everyone to get high and mighty about steroids.

There was a tickertape parade for Sammy Sosa in NEW YORK CITY (a parade for a Cub for hitting the second most homers ever?) so it’s really annoying at this point for people to hate Bonds or Clemens or for Keith and Gary to talk about how it was obvious in 1991.

It was obvious, and everyone kept their mouth shut and got paid.

Congratulations to the Home Run King, season AND career: Barry Bonds.

Odd (and late) Steroids Conversation on SNY

Whoa….Gary Cohen and Keith are talking about ‘roids and how it was obvious to Keith in 1989 that someone showed up way heavier…and cohen said it was obvious in 1991-92 that something was going on.Really?I don’t recall hearing Gary mention this on any games when he was sitting there with Bob Murphy. Didn’t the Mets play the Cardinals and Cubs a few times in the 1990’s?A little late guys. You kept your mouth shut for 15 years, don’t start now.

Rays Clinch Playoff Berth

Rays win!  Rays win!

With a 2.5 game lead on July 2nd, that means they will be in first place on July 4th and you know what that means –

The Rays Are Going To The Playoffs! (according to Urban Legend.  Also please note Urban Legends do not apply to teams managed by Dom Zimmer or Willie Randolph.  And Zim works for the Rays.  Uh oh.)

Congrats to The Rays on tonight’s game.  I only caught part of it on radio (and the Rays have a nice broadcast).  

Wednesday night ESPN:  Rays-Bosox.   Plus Chacon vs the Rangers.   And the Mets probably play someone too.

The Captain (17) on Reyes Baby Attacks

Well, he’s got to get over that. Enough babying going on now. He’s a grown man, he’s been around a long enough time. Take off the kid gloves.

A Warm Thought for Bob Sheppard

Earlier in the year Bob Sheppard, the great Yankees PA announcer, and someone who should be in the Hall of Fame ASAP, told bustedhalo.com:
 

So my target date to be back is July 1. There is an All Star Game to be played at Yankee Stadium on July 15th and one of my goals is to be there and announce it. I did one years and years ago at Yankee Stadium but I can’t recall it. So now this would be something to remember. I do want to be there next year when we open a new Stadium. And I’d like to be the one who says, “Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen…Welcome to the NEW…Yankee Stadium.”

 

Bob, I hope we see you soon if not tonight, and wish you nothing but the best.
