Game Time: 7:10pm on

As for Braves notes, old man Franco has accepted his minor league assignment and will be playing at both Rome and Myrtle during the rest of the month. I'm looking forward to getting him back when rosters expand.
Sometime around midnight EST last night, Barry Bonds broke Hank's record off Nationals pitcher Mike Bacsik. Aaron even broke his silence with what seems like a partly gritted teeth video salute to the new *home run king.
Don't forget to get your picks in before the game for Nok-A-Homa-Win-A-Lotta (click here to learn how to play and to view the leaderboard); the three categories are (1) Attendance, (2) Pick to Click, and (3) Above and Beyond Pick.

haha ok
Bonds steps on home plate, points up to the sky, his son has his arms around Bonds, Bonds doesn't put his arms around his son. Bonds claps, turns to the side and hugs Bengie Molina.
a hug is when BOTH parties put arms around each other. The son hugs Bonds, but Bonds never puts his arms around his son. He might have done it after hugging his team, waving at the crowd, and giving his speech .. but he totally left his son hanging at home plate.
Conclusion: douche
Barry who?
