I don't know what subject they're supposed to be working in, but it sounds interesting!

The All-Important Baseball Report #7

We're into the home stretch, and today Barry Bonds came back from bereavement leave..

San Francisco Giants: 2
Arizona Diamondbacks: 1

Our scores came on two hits. A Rich Aurillia homer in the first, and Barry Bonds blasted one in the fourth. That was it as far as offense goes.

The real story was the duel between Jerome Williams and Randy Johnson. The rookie vs. the old master. Both pitchers were magnificent, Johnson struck out 11 in seven innings of work, while Williams went eight and a third, striking out eight. Williams got in a jam in the third, loading the bases with only one out. but he got out of it without allowing a run to score.

So, with less than thirty games left, here's what the NL West looks like:

Team	W - L	Perc	Games Back
San Francisco	81 - 53	.604	-
Los Angeles	70 - 64	.522	11
Arizona	70 - 65	.519	11.5
Colorado	65 - 73	.471	18
San Diego	54 - 82	.397	27

The Giants have 28 games on the schedule.. it's unlikely we'll have to make up the game that was cancelled against the Mets.

And the NL standings bet:

gridlore - San Francisco Giants 81 - 53 .604

redroach - Houston Astros 71 - 64 .526

aurictech - St. Louis Cardinals 71 - 64 .526

bunyip - Chicago Cubs 69 - 65 .515
