7:19 pm: The first half inning of the Dodgers-Giants game just ended. With Ray Durham on base, Barry Bonds just struck out on three pitches (the last pitch was a check swing). Hell yeah!
8:04 pm: Barry Bonds came up with one out and a runner on third. As in the first inning, the Dodger stadium crowd booed him lustily when he was announced (though one could also see flashes from the stands as people took pictures). The Dodgers walked Bonds intentionally and the next batter hit into a double play. Hell yeah! (By the way, the crowd also booed when Bonds was walked intentionally.) After 2.5 innings, the game is tied 1-1.
8:45 pm: Barry Bonds lead off the 5th inning with a walk. Dodger pitcher Brad Penny disputed the ball call on the last pitch.
9:22 pm: Barry Bonds came up with 2 outs and the bases empty in the top of the 7th inning. Bonds hit a shallow fly ball and shortsop Rafael Furcal went out to the outfield to try to catch it (even though it was an easy play for the leftfielder). Furcal dropped it and was charged with an error. Fred Lewis has just been inserted as a pinch runner for Bonds, and so ends my Bondsblogging for the night.
