BARRY BONDS. WATCH OUT.
Holy cow, Barry Bonds' first at bat against San Diego's Chris Young (who?) on an 0-2 count resulted in his 735th home run. I'm speechless.
UPDATE: Top of the third. Barry just hustled toward the infield from LF like a bat out of hell, trying to catch a high flyball. I pressed my fingertips against my teeth (we, in San Francisco, are intimate with Bonds' long, slow recovery from double-knee surgery), waiting for something horrible to happen. Damned if he didn't catch the ball like the Golden Glover of old. Very impressive.
He seemed to cramp up as he came to a stop (somebody give this man Ben-Gay, stat!), but he returned to the plate in the bottom of the third, with Omar on base (Omar used Bonds' at bat to steal 2nd -- tee hee).

Mark it down, by the way -- Bonds will end up with 754 home runs.
No, it won't be anything noble, like Barry sitting out the last week in deference to Hammerin' Hank or anything like that -- he's gonna try like the dickens, but he's also going to end up with 20 home runs this year.
