Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Open Thread: 8/4, Padres vs. Giants

Untitled_tiny by jbox on in News Comment 486 comments


Associated Press

Barry Bonds shows off his gut while taking early batting practice for the first time in forever.  But he wasn't out there alone.  He's really gripping, but someone was there to ease his mind.  Someone was there that loves himself some Barry Bonds... Mike Cameron.

Padres star Mike Cameron came out to catch a glimpse at the end, giving Bonds a high-five behind the cage. They talked for several minutes.

I'm hoping that Hensley doesn't get too carried away trying to prove himself.  He really just needs to focus on winning this game and walk Bonds if he has to.  I trust Maddux going after Bonds, Hensley is a different story.  In his first start since his groin pull in the early season, he really doesn't need to get the idea in his head that he is jousting Bonds.

I always think it's weird when pitchers talk about going into history for giving up a big home run. Nobody remembers the pitchers. Who gave up the record breaking home run to Babe Ruth? Maris? Hell, who gave up #73 to Barry? Nobody knows and nobody cares. It's not about the pitchers and I think it's their egos that try to connect them to something great. They always say they don't want to be a part of history, but secretly they do.

P.S. -- Bradley is out again today because of his hamstring injury yesterday.

Experience it!!! Go Padres!!!

Spidey can't get old
if he's kept fresh by being post like 10 times a game right?  I mean you can't over do something like this.

Drama, you could put him in your signature so that he'll show up in every comment you make.  That won't be annoying will it?

Pitchers making history...
I'll never forget Eric Show sitting on the mound after giving up number 4,192 to Pete Rose.

by Drama on Aug 4, 2007 6:44 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And I remember.....
Eric Show basically getting into a shoving match in the dugout with Carmelo Martinez, the Leftfielder that night, because he thought Melo coulda charged the ball to keep his name out of the record books (at least for 1 AB).

The guy
second to the right looks like Sean Penn. If it is Sean Penn, I apologize, I have never heard of Rainbow.

Sean Penn!
Spicoli! It's all making sense! Full-circle!

No, he's not Sean Penn. Rainbow was a band featuring Deep Purple's guitarist Richie Blackmore and future Sabbath and Dio singer Ronnie James Dio.

I wasn't being sarcastic
(I read it and it seemed like it could be construed like that) I just thought it was funny that where I saw Khalil you saw Sean Penn.

Well people say, including myself
that Khalil looks like Spicoli who was played by Sean Penn, as Im sure you know.

So in a sense, I was seeing Khalil as well.  ;)

Players usually roll in sometime between 1:30 & 3:00 for a 7:05 game.

ESPN announcers
Despite the fact that the cameras pan the stadium to show that there are a ton of Giants fans in the crowd, they are absolutely dumbfounded that there is mixed reaction to Barry Bonds in the stands.

"How can this be? And why are these Padres fans wearing Giants colors? So strange!"

"Now his family's doing something a normal family would do!? How dare they!"

I hate Bonds as much as the next guy, but if somebody in my immediate family just did something historic, I'd probably want to go chat about it also.

Ties aren't that historic anyway.
I'm a firm believer that no player should be talking to anyone besides his teammates when there's a game going on.

Hensley and Steroids
Hensley taking steroids being brought up again.  
While Bonds has been shadowed by suspicions of steroid use for several years, which some fans feel has tainted his chase for Hank Aaron's home run record, Hensley got caught when he was in the minor leagues.

In April 2005, Hensley was one of four Padres farmhands who were suspended for 15 games for using performance-enhancing substances, either steroids or steroid precursors.
