Ummm... what's bullshit? That Bonds isn't the same beast he was a few years ago? He isn't. He's still an All Star and still one of the premier hitters in the bigs, but he isn't the same super-human hitter he was a few years ago. What do walks and the flashbulbs have to do with anything? The point I was making is that he doesn't have to be walked whenever first base is open. He used to rake anything that was in the zone. He was the most unstoppable hitter I've ever seen when he was locked-in. He used to only get 1 maybe 2 pitches a night to hit, and he didn't waste them. Nowadays there's a chance he'll miss when before you could forget about it. Keep cheering your last place team Gnat fans because there are no reinforcements on the way. What do Dodger fans have to be jealous of? You can have Bonds and all his tainted exploits because at the end of the day you guys have ZERO championships to speak of. Z-E-R-O.

"Myopic Giants fans... we boo when Bonds gets walked because he doesn't merit intentional passes anymore. This isn't juiced-up Baroid when he would hit anything close to the zone out of the park. This is old and drug-tested Barry who could still go yard, but isn't nearly the unstoppable monster he was a few years back. Dodger fans get off on getting him out and throwing up the white flag merits boos. "Smog City"... how verrrrry original." I'm calling bullshit on this one. So you know more that major league managers? Because the last time I checked Bonds was leading the league in walks and the second place guy was 30 walks behind him. What about all the camera flashes on every pitch of every one of his AB's? In reality you ass-clowns are jealous that dont have, or will ever have, anybody on your team with even an ounce of the talent that he has. Go lick balls dodger fans.

"Synthetic Park"... synthetic records by a synthetic superstar, synthetic tradition with their ZERO championships, and even the synthetic charm of an "old school ballpark" with all the quirks that millions of dollars could design.

AT&T Park = nicest ballpark in the entire MLB... LA's Park (what is the name of your shit park anyways?) = "WE HATE BARRY YET LOVE TO SEE HIM PLAY CAUSE WE GOT NO ONE ELSE THAT CAN COMPARE TO HIM" PARK granted, you guys beat the giants yesterday thanks to the horrible bullpen job. but last time i checked, they were leading most of the way. not only that but on the first night, we made your "superstar" ace look like shit. go back to football. oh wait, you guys dont have a football team, seeing how no one wants a team down in the crapshot side of Cali, also known as Smog City...which we can conclude, is your dumbass city.

The Militant would call it The Temple of Broom...just because the home team keeps getting SWEPT by the better team in their intra-state rivalry.

There are two accepted names: the Phonebooth or Mays Field. As for your guys' field, my first thought was to call it Beach Ball Park, but that's an insult to ballparks everywhere. Ballparks don't go for the cookie cutter design or that monstrosity of a fourth deck. And what's wrong with your Dodgers? They're making the Giants look like a real baseball team. The Barry haters need therapy as much as he does. They boo when he's up, but then they boo even louder when Grady gives him the four fingers, and they get all excited when he hits a fly ball. I don't know what was funnier about last night's game: (a) watching the gridlock of cars coming into the parking lot in the fifth inning or (b) watching 10,000 Dodger "fans" leave before that sweet 8th inning speedster rally.

Triple-A Tee and Tee-Ball Park. The "It's changed so often and I smoked so much pot I can't remember today's name" Park. And, the old standby, the Phonebooth. Since it's not called Candlesuck anymore, the Niners now play in 3-Com-mercials Park. Except it's not called that anymore, either!
