I was going to write some piffly little thing about Barry Zito's fine start, but then I was overwhelmed with the idea that Alfonso Soriano could start in the National League outfield in San Francisco. Soriano isn't really having much of a season, either. Wait, yeah he is. Is there any way to trade Zito for him?
Regardless, Bonds has to start. I was whipped into a nationalistic-type fervor by this diary, and I urge everyone to vote here.

Hypothetical...hypodermic...wait a sec...I CAN SEE THROUGH THE MATRIX AGAIN!!!!
So I'll just present it to you with only one comment: I don't know how to read that chart, but danged if one of them squiggles don't just scream out "pinch-hit homer on 6/27!" to me.
