Runs, Hey!

If all it takes to get Barry Bonds going is a few writers saying he's through, I'm all for it. Here, I'll do some more: Bonds looks like he's through. He's toast. Bonds is done. I hope that's enough for a few more homers.

And hey, Barry wasn't the only offense Monday. Klesko managed to get a runner home from third after yet another Giants batter failed to do so, earning cheers from the home fans. The announcers thought that was a nice touch, but you and I both know that there was a lot of sarcasm attached to those cheers. Klesko earned them, nonetheless. Later on, Bochy apparently had seen enough of Vizquel flailing and called a squeeze, which Omar executed.

The first run was all Dave Roberts. Bloop single, stolen base, advance on an error, score on a ground ball. Given the Giants struggles at the plate, having just one guy who can do that is huge. He then proceeded to give me a scare in the 9th when he plowed into the wall while making a running catch. It looked like he smashed his shoulder hard, but luckily he didn't get hurt. So far.

And how about Matt Morris? Give up three to start the game (a couple thanks to some confusion by Barry Bonds) then eight innings of nada.
