Official Barry Bonds Countdown Thread

Check out the Donovan piece where he says Bonds approached the plate after the homer to a "subdued group of teammates" and then when returning to the dugout "most of his teammates were in the field or standing against the rail next to the field. Bonds sat, with no one near him on either side, staring blankly into space."

Doesn't exaclty paint the same picture you saw on television, does it?

Actually, it does.

As I posted last night, I was really surprised how half-hearted the congratulations were from his teammates after he crossed home plate.

I don't like Bonds, but I do appreciate witnessing sports history (especially when it comes to baseball) and was prepared to enjoy watching the celebration. It was weird to see guys barely patting him on the back and some of those that did hug him didn't even smile (Randy Winn, for example).
