Historic Baseball Series starts today in Chicago

Not since 1976 when Robinson went against Aaron, have two players with more HR's been in the same ballpark. At that time Robinson had (I think) 576 and Aaron had 755, neither to hit another HR before retirement. It will be interesting to see what #3 on the list, Bonds, and #9 on the list, Sosa can do.

I think this would be a good series to be standing outside on Waveland (sp.)

And whether they (Bonds and Sosa) decide to play instead of sitting out with their "ouchies."

And whether the umpires will give the strike call on the outside corner that Barry doesn't think should be a strike.

And whether the managers actually have the pitchers pitch to them.

IF umpires would call the Rule Book Strike Zone, pitchers would pitch to Barry.

Sosa is not supposed to play today. Back spasm from sneezing?!
Clement walks Bonds at least once.

I'm more excited about Prior getting his rehab start with the Lansing Lugnuts tomorrow night.

Yeah, and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.


That is, by far, the biggest farce in all of sports, short of "rules" in the NBA. Freaking strike zone is ridiculous.
