The Cubs and Dodgers both lost last night, but, in one of the most painful games of the year, so did the Giants. To make matters worse, the Astros won, thereby giving themselves the lead in the NL Wild Card race. more ›

Whether you like Barry Bonds or not as a person, you have to respect him (actually, be in awe of him) as a ballplayer. And since you probably don't ever have to have lunch with the guy, it seems best to reserve your judgment of him to what he does on the field. So in case you aren't a big seamhead, SFist wants to point out that Bonds hit the 699th home run of his career in last night's win over the Snakes in Arizona, putting him on the brink of being only the third player in the history of the game — out of the 16,000 people who've had the privilege of swinging a bat in the big leagues — to reach the 700 mark. As of now, he's only fifteen homers shy of Babe Ruth's career total and fifty-six short of Hank Aaron's mark. With the Giants playing their next three games against the awful Brewers in their Milwaukee homer dome, Miller Park, expect Bonds to knock out number seven hundred in the next couple of days. 715 should come a month or two into next season and, barring injuries or huge season next year, he should get to 756 sometime in 2006. more ›
