A meme that will tax my poor brain.

1. Reply with your name and I will write something random about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will say what Harry Potter fictional character I relate you to.
4. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I will tell you my first memory of you.
6. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll then ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

(And no, I don't guarantee answers to all seven. Especially if we've never met. But I'll try.)

705! And a series win over the Dodgers!

San Francisco Giants: 5
Los Angeles Dodgers: 3


Bonds' 705th home run fuels Giants

Barry Bonds cracked his 705th career homer in the eighth inning, while teammates Randy Winn and Mike Matheny also homered in San Francisco's 5-3 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday at SBC Park.

The Giants took the series, 3-1.

Bonds cracked his second four-bagger of the year and 32nd into McCovey Cove, off Dodgers reliever Hong-Chih Kuo to lead off the eighth.

Combined with an earlier sacrifice fly, Bonds has 1,846 career RBIs, boosting him into ninth place on the all-time list, two ahead of Carl Yastrzemski.

San Francisco starter Noah Lowry allowed five hits over five innings and doubled prior to Winn's blast. Lowry gave up solo homers to Oscar Robles in the third and Jose Cruz Jr. a frame later.

Winner Matt Kinney (2-0) gave up the tying run in the top of the sixth, but a Dodgers threat ended when right fielder Moises Alou threw a strike to catcher Matheny, who tagged Mike Edwards out at the plate.

Taking the loss was Dodgers reliever Franquelis Osoria (0-1).


5 1/2 back! Come on guys, time for a 1951-esque winning streak!

Next up, Giants at Washington Nationals!

GO GIANTS!!!
