Barry, Barry good
One of the first questions raised this season was, are the San Francisco Giants that good or are the Los Angeles Dodgers that bad? The Dodgers were outscored 24-2 in a season-opening, three-game series at Dodger Stadium against their fiercest rival, which was playing without its cleanup hitter, Jeff Kent.
One question that immediately got answered, however, was that no, Barry Bonds' 73-homer season in 2001 was no fluke. Rockies fans will have to wait until May 24 before Bonds and his Giants come to Coors Field for a three-game weekend series. The Giants will have played roughly 50 games by then which means Bonds, at his current pace, would have about 62 homers.
After his two-homer opening day, Bonds said he didn't want to go through the record-chasing hassles again this year, which is fine because even the greatest stories are never as great the second time around. But with Hank Aaron's 755 lifetime homers in front of him, and 16 more games this season against the Dodgers, Bonds likely will have to relive his remarkable surge of strength.
In his past six games against the Dodgers, Bonds is 11 for 16 with seven homers. He had been hitting .194 with one homer in 31 at-bats against Kevin Brown, but Bonds corrected that on opening day with a homer, single and four RBIs in three at-bats against the Dodgers ace. He also had been hitting .160 lifetime against Hideo Nomo until Bonds connected for a 443-foot homer against him in the second game.
The Giants play three more games against the Dodgers this week, this time at San Francisco's Pacific Bell Park.
