Following Barry

you'll have to excuse me, but i'm far too exhausted to use capital letters.

i've been following barry bonds for the last 4 days, for various television stations, and it's pretty intense. i think it's safe to say that barry is my favorite player... of all time. so it really is consuming my total being. i've been dreaming baseball for the first time in 15 or 20 years. Regardless of my mental health, some pretty crazy shit is going down.

1st and foremost, BLB is going to break one of baseball's biggies, arguably the biggiest.

2nd, selig's there, he's legitimized it, just tonight he was yammering about how many butts mlb was putting in the seats, we're talking record numbers. BLB is making mlb scads of money, he's the goose that laid the golden egg. hank's not there, but you just know he's tuned in.

3rd, BLB say's he wants back in next year. he said it friday night. i've been saying all year that i'm of the opinion that BLB wasn't coming back to mlb. and now, he says he want to be back with the giants next season. maybe it's just BLB being BLB. maybe he want's magowan to know who's in the drivers seat. who knows, like the babe and willie and cobb, baseball's elite is a strange brew.

4th, he's still doing the tour of so-cal. la is eating it up, it seems. 50-some-thousand every night. celebrities are out in force, and it will run on through the weekend, because BLB is going to do it at home. the planned "steroids awareness clinic" that was scheduled for thursday at chavez may be downplayed or canceled altogether, from what i've heard, we shall see.

BLB is going to do it soon. it's going to be a monumental moment, regardless of your opinion of him. in some ways he's like richard iii. most people hate him, but you can't turn away, his feats compel the public.
