Let me get one thing out in the open: Barry Bonds is a disgrace to baseball. With that said, I’m addicted to watching each game on ESPN2 in hopes of seeing Hank Aaron’s record tied. It’s arguably the most important record in sports, so I certainly want to see it tied while watching live. Records or not, I am getting extremely tired of watching a Giants game every day in hopes of seeing history, but instead I have to settle for some extremely mediocre California baseball.
I shouldn’t be too rough though since tonight’s game against the Padres was pretty good. Former Diamondback, Scott Hairston, had not one, but two home runs for the Padres, with the last one being the game winning dinger in the 10th. Oh, and Bonds went 0-4. Again.
Tomorrow I will be taking a small trip down to Indianapolis for the Queens of the Stone Age show. They will most likely play the newest Guitar Hero III song, “3′s and 7′s,” so I’ll be sure to rock out enough for everybody. With Christian and myself MIA in what has been proven to be a very rare occurrence, our newest staff member, Michael, will be taking over the news for the day. It’s his first day, so be nice!
