This team is killing me....

Re: List ahoy....
Barry says that while touring Japan with the closer, they came to a gentlemans agreement that in a game in which the Giants were 3 or more runs ahead/behind, the closer would only throw his best gas and that Barry would do his best to take him deep. It doesn't cheapen it one bit for me, but it's funny to think that BLB really did know what was coming.

Re: List ahoy....
7/24/03. Barry celebrates his birthday by throwing out the go ahead run to end the top of the 9th and then sends the fans home with a walk off a pitch later.
6/12/03. Going into the top of the 9th, the Giants trail the White Sox 4-2, and Bonds has K'd three consecutive ABs vs. Bartolo Colon. But in the 9th Barry takes Colon deep to tie the game. Later in the inning Aurilia hits a grand slam to seal the win.
And my all-time favorite: 10/1/03. Friday night of the season ending 4 game series in LA. The Giants are tied in the standings with Atlanta. A loss could effectively end the season. LA gets out to a 4-0 lead after two innings, but in the 3rd Bonds hits a 3-run HR to tie the game. Two innings later he launches another 3-run HR that puts the Giants on top to stay and they live to fight another day. One of favorite games in Giants history.

Re: List ahoy....
It's probably the best game I've ever been too, as my record in games attended is horrible.

Re: List ahoy....
1) Watch 1st inning. Does Giants pitcher have it?
YES - keep watching until bullpen blows it, then go to 2.
NO - go to 2.
2) Did Barry bat in the last inning you watched?
YES - Switch to different channel, go to 4 when you think he will bat again.
NO - go to 3
3) Is Barry due up soon?
YES - Pay half attention until his at bat.
NO - Go to 2.

Re: List ahoy....
I watched the end of both these games with my girlfriend while we were on a little trip in Mendocino before she was about to move to NYC, and even she, not a baseball fan, could not believe Bonds was human. To come back from mourning his father and to win 2 games in 3 days, when the whole world was expecting he would HR, it really made me feel lucky to have witnessed it and the rest of his amazing career. Looking back at these box scores too makes me marvel at how good the giants used to be with Barry and the Spare Parts.
2003 was a magical year - i remember the 2 Roger listed (the 3rd was from 93, right?), and I was at a game vs the Twins 6/4/03 when the giants loaded the bases (walks to Cruz, Durham, Aurilia) and Barry came up. Barry was automatic these days, the only question was how he would win it. He lined a clean single off another lefty, Rincon. Another win, another day in 1st.
Too bad the magic ran out with Ponson, Cruz's stone glove, and Snow's lack of speed. Its been all downhill since then. But Barry is simply unbelievable.

I think we need to have Nate put on like 15-20 lbs. of muscle and teach him first base.

List ahoy
I remember during his homerun chase in that day game in Colorado when he hit 3 homeruns. It was after that day people really started to believe he could get the record.
And the most incredible moment for me had to be the 485 foot shot in the World Series in Game 2.

Speaking of Bonds and HRs...
"Out of respect for the tradition of this game, the magnitude of the record, and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven guilty, I will attend Barry Bonds' next games to observe his potential tying and breaking of the home run record, subject to my commitments to the Hall of Fame this weekend. I will make an additional statement when the record is tied," Selig said.
