Bonds still at 713; Zambrano finally gets a win

... and the Cubs win, 8-1. The big story, of course, is that Bonds is still at 713, after he was robbed by Juan Pierre yesterday, and shut down by Carlos Zambrano today.

Bonds went 0-3 with a BB today. If you'll recall, the MLB has said that they will not have a special ceremony when Bonds passes Babe. Critical Fanatic, while admitting to be less than a fan of Bonds, disagrees with that, saying "A failure to acknowledge and celebrate this historic moment is more of disrespect to Babe Ruth than it is to Barry Bonds."

Myself, I find it a disservice and disrespect to Bonds. Steroids or not, he's one of the best ever, and becoming 2nd on the all-time HR list is kind of a big deal.

The more important news from the today is that my fantasy teams and Six Pitchers team can rest a little easier tonight knowing that Zambrano finally got a win. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 1 run, moving his record to 1-2 with a 3.88 ERA. May there be many more wins for Zambrano (but not the Cubs!) in the future!
