Living With Infamy

It's the flipside of the home run record chase... who will be the unlucky pitcher to lob a fat fastball right into Barry Bonds' mighty swing? Whoever he is, Al Downing has a pretty good idea of how he'll feel... he's the southpaw who hurled a sweet pitch to Hank Aaron, who smacked it into the Braves' bullpen for to break Babe Ruth's home run record. Will you be watching Bonds and the Giants take on the Nationals tonight? And, perhaps more improbably, have you ever been on the wrong side of a record or milestone?

As a life long Giants fan, go get um Barry! To bad he cannot hit it against the Dodgers, their lousy pitching has definitely helped him get to where he is. And for all those sore losers, quit talking steriods until you have Proof. Just disliking him is not enough: show some proof or shut up.
