Cubs-Giants (May 9, 2006)

Cheater or not (and he is a cheater), Barry Bonds will get his first crack at passing Babe Ruth on the all-time homerun list tomorrow night in San Francisco against the Chicago Cubs. Bonds, who is sitting out the Giants makeup game today against the Houston Astros, hit career homerun No. 713 last night in Philadelphia -- a monster shot that was still rising when it blasted off the right field upper deck facade at Bank One Ballpark. As for the first pitcher who will get his shot at Bonds, Milton, MA native Rich Hill (0-1, 11.25) gets the nod for the Cubbies tomorrow. Will Rich be a footnote in history? Or will he mow down the mighty Bonds? Find out tomorrow at your local bar that has the MLB package -- I know for a fact that the Eire Pub in Dorchester will have the game, a 10:15 pm start on the east coast. I say that Hill K's the cheating SOB twice and walks him once.
