Barry Bonds liveblogging (Day 2)

7:10 pm: The Dodger game against the Giants is about to start. I'll again keep track of Barry Bonds' at-bats and hopefully report on his failures in this space.

7:29 pm: Barry Bonds had his first at-bat as the first hitter in the top of the 2nd inning. He flied out to right field on a 3-2 count. The Dodgers are currently leading 1-0.

8:11 pm: Barry Bonds came up in the top of the 4th inning and grounded out to first baseman James Loney. The Dodgers are currently up 2-1.

8:47 pm: Barry Bonds came up in the top of the 6th inning and hit a fly ball to shallow centerfield. Much to everybody's surprise, Juan Pierre made an excellent diving catch of the ball! (I need to check how he and Nomar are faring offensively... Nomar got a pretty decent lead recently, but I think the gap has since closed a bit.) The score is currently tied 2-2.

9:33 pm: Barry Bonds came up in the 8th inning with two outs, a runner on third, and the Giants leading 3-2. The Dodgers ostensibly started the at-bat by pitching to Bonds. However, they were really just seeing if he would chase a bad pitch, as after two balls, they stopped kidding themselves and finished up the at-bat by walking him intentionally. Fred Lewis then came in to run for Bonds, so that's it for tonight's Bondsblogging.

Tomorrow, I'm going to play frisbee, so I'm unlikely to liveblog about Bonds tomorrow. However, I will continue to report on baseball milestones here.

Good question. Maybe injecting himself with needles?
