Let The Countdown to Rodriguez Begin!

Since it's now a matter of hours until the odious Barry Bonds breaks Aaron's record, I thought I'd repost my thoughts on the guy - this post ran last year, but my thoughts on him haven't changed. One thing that really bugs - there's an excellent chance that he'll do it today in San Francisco (how cool would it be if the Marlins opted to pitch around him every time he stepped up to the plate?). Flip side - if he doesn't, the Giants go to L.A. for a three-game stand, and then they come down here to San Diego (where we loves us some Barry). I envision a Dodger or Padre fan catching that record-breaking ball, whipping out a Sharpie and drawing a big asterix on it, and then tossing it back on to the field, to the delight of all. (Can you imagine that? People here would go nuts, I tell you. They'd throw a ticker-tape parade for that fan.)

So screw Bonds. Stay healthy, A-Rod!

I'm just waiting for them to throw the ball back -- asterix or not. As far as I'm concerned, he won't hold the record.
