It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a crack rang out. A ball fell.

Barry Bonds extended his homerun streak to an amazing six games, and needs two more against his favorite launching pad, the Padres, to equal the record for consecutive games with a homerun. He now has 666 career homeruns. Along the way, we managed to actually win the game..

San Francisco Giants: 4
San Diego Padres: 3


We almost gave this one away, giving up four straight hits and two runs in the ninth. But a nice play by J.T. Snow (who didn't start) ended the rally. Jerome Williams pitched a clean 6 2/3rds innings. Looks like he's got the groove on his sinking fastball again, which is a very good thing.

The Bonds Watch

Needed to catch:
Babe Ruth: 48
Hank Aaron: 89

Well, I was supposed to work until 1900 tonight, but I wasn't feeling at all well this morning, and by lunch I was utterly sick. Luckily, we had several afternoon shifts and my manager pointed out I was green as my apron, so go home.

Came home, and went right to bed for a couple of hours. That helped a bit.

I think a big part of the problem is my eating habits. We rarely have stuff that I can take to work, so I tend to not eat during my shift when I work a full 8-hours. This is bad, and I know it. Kiri made a big order from Safeway's online shopping thing, so that problem will be resolved. Yes, I live about a block and a half from where I work, but most of the time I just want to sit and rest during my lunch hour.

Tomorrow I need to get a good start on the Vilani military structure for Interstellar Wars. All my notes are ready, and [livejournal.com profile] pauldrye was kind enough to send what he has on Vilani culture, so I just need to put it in a coherent form.

And play a little Madden 2003. :)

Half hour to the Giants game.. wonder if Barry will hit another homerun?

667!!
