Oh, And Another Thing...
Fourth place!!!
(Apparently, the game didn't end after the homer. They kept playing -- well, Bonds didn't, which shows you where his priorities and where the priorities of the lameass SF Franchise are and have been for a while now -- and the Nats won! who knew?)

I'm glad someone else noticed! I guess there was an exciting rally at some point.
Maybe the SF Chronicle covered it - the Post sure didn't.

Typical of Barry's career: individual honors that ultimately don't help his team.

Let's revel in the fact that the Nats have a better record and are closer to "contending" at this point that the "Gints." I hope that lame ass franchise goes into a Pirate-like funk after Roidhead's departure, it would serve them right.
Oh, and our career journeyman lefty pitched at least as well as their overpriced hot shot free agent lefty. Sweeeeeet!

Of course Barry left the game after the homer. Just like Cal sat down in 2131 once the game became official...oh wait, he kept playing. Is it any surprise that at the post-game press conference Barry did not wear a Giants hat? He wore a hat inscribed "756." This is a truly sad day for baseball.

"Individual honors that ultimately don't help his team."
Barry went 3-for-3, scored 1/2 the teams' runs, and hit the big home run. What exactly should he have done to help the team more? Maybe they should have had Barry pitch... those 8 runs given up hurt the team a lot more.
Barry is STILL the best player on the Giants, and they would be even worse than they are now if he wasn't around. Is he a cheating a-hole? Yep. But he definitely helps his team more than he hurts it. The whole "he hits a ton of home runs, gets on base all the time, and is still one of the top-5 most feared hitters in the game, but he doesn't help his team" argument is a little thin.

Q about WMP: (willy mo pena)
if he cleared waivers, and we traded for him, could we send him freely to the minors, or would he have to go through waivers again?
and anyone know why we're not taking a flyer on him? though it's hard to complain about missing a player when the Nats are doing so well...

That would depend on his option status. I know he was given a major league contract when he was signed, so I'm almost SURE he's out of options. In other words, he'd have to stick on the MLB roster.
I'm actually surprised the Nats didn't claim him. The Sox would've just pulled him back, but they'd at least have had exclusive rights to acquire him via a trade in the meantime.

It looks like the Padres are about to cut David Wells. I can't imagine a better fit for a fat, aging veteran player than here in DC. We will kick some serious ass at the Old Country Buffet. Meat Hook, Burger, Belly, The Guz, and now Boomer. Somebody get a deep fryer!

They would probably have to use a C-130 as the team plane.
Pena is a FA after 08 so his options years are long gone.
