Bonds in the Fourth
With a man on second and the Cubs trailing 6-0, Sean Marshall pitches very carefully to Barry and walks him on a 3-1 pitch. He's 0-1 with two walks (one IBB) so far.
Update: Steve Finley just drove in Bonds with his seventh triple of the year. He leads the majors and has 119 for his career. At this point in time, 100 triples in a career is very impressive.
Update: I'm a little surprised Barry Bonds is still in the game with a 9-0 lead. I thought at the start of the season Alou was going to pull Bonds from blow outs to save him for the rest of the season. He's already pushing Barry by playing him a day game after a night game, why go further?

The Giants are playing short-handed. They have only one outfielder on the bench and that's Sweeney who's also the backup 1b.
The Alou injury is the main reason for Barry playing more than he should.
