I suppose it all just got to be too much for Barry Bonds, and this is a logical conclusion. Tiring of all the media scrutiny and questions of alleged steroid use, Bonds decided to make a position change: relief pitcher.
This from ESPN.com. Quick, go here before they fix it!
Or, you can just look at the ESPN's box score pasted below:
CHICAGO CUBS
J Anderson (L,0-1) 2 6 3 3 0 0 0
S Randolph 2 4 3 1 0 1 1
R Novoa 1 2 0 0 0 0 0
W Ohman 1 1 1 1 0 0 1
C Fox 1 0 0 0 0 1 0
M Wuertz 1 4 3 3 0 0 0
SAN FRANCISCO
K Rueter (W,1-0) 2 1 1 1 0 0 0
J Brower 1 1 0 0 0 1 0
B Bonds 2 1 0 0 0 1 0
M Herges 1 0 0 0 0 2 0
S Eyre 1 0 0 0 0 2 0
T Walker 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
B Cooper 1 0 0 0 0 1 0
As you can see, Barry only gave up one hit over 2 innings of work in relief of Jim Brower, with no walks and one strikeout. It's been reported that Bonds' deadliest out pitch is his circle change.
I'm going to make a guess that Matt Cain is the name that is supposed to be in the place of B Bonds in their boxscore, as Cain, curiously, had the exact same pitching line as Barry.
Funny stuff. How could an editor miss something like having B Bonds as a relief pitcher?
