Bonds 700 Watch

Watch this post for updates on Bonds' progress tonight.

Update: They are using specially marked balls for Bonds' AB.

Update: Davis is pitching to Bonds with first base open and a man on in the first.

Update: Davis gets two early strikes on Bonds, then runs the count to 3-2 as Barry won't go fishing. After a number of fouls, Barry pops out to the 2nd baseman directly behind the bag in shallow center.

Update: People started streaming out of the park after the Bonds AB. I hope the Giants send a bunch of men to the plate so Bonds bats again.

Update: Bonds up in the top of the 4th with a man on first and no outs. He's obviously swinging for the fences as he's taken two huge cuts.

Update: Bonds walked on a 3-2 count. Davis went after Barry, but didn't give him anything good to pitch. Bonds is just too disciplined to go for the close pitches.

Update: With a man on 2nd and 2 outs, Barry Bonds is given the IBB in the 5th.

Update: Bonds will lead off the top of the 8th.

Update: Luis Vizcaino on to pitch to Bonds.

Update: After missing twice with fastballs outside, Vizcaino gets Bonds to hit what appears to be a single to right, but the 2nd baseman Ginter was playing in the outfield toward first base, and threw out Bonds from shallow right field. Great defensive alignment, and a great play.

Update: Giants win 3-2. Bonds goes 0 for 2 with 2 walks, and the Giants score runs after each of Barry's base on balls. He also saves the game, pegging the tieing run at the plate with a strong throw from left (where was that throw when Sid Bream was scoring?). He'll try it again tomorrow.

Where are all the Brewer fans? What could possibly be more important in Milwaukee tonight?

I managed to catch Bonds' last groundout in the eighth. They then showed lots of fans heading for the exits. The score was only 3-2. Bonds could've gotten another AB.
