Gomez Reports on Bonds

According to Pedro Gomez on ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” (March 28, 2005), the Giants will likely be without the services of Barry Bond for 6 to 8 weeks. Gomez opined that Barry would probably return in mid-to-late May or perhaps the beginning of June. There is, according to Gomez, no official timetable for Barry’s return.

The Padres host San Francisco for two games in April (18-19) and visit the Giants for 6 during that time frame (April 25, 16, & 27, & May 27, 28, & 29). The Padres need to get a serious leg up in those games against the Bond-less Giants.

Since I commented earlier about the trade (my stance has since softened – ouch! Based my own headline, what does that make me? Pink?) this will be a short one tonight…
