And the most fitting tribute to Star Trek's 40th I can imagine.

We go to the Moon, create a global information network, eliminate polio
and smallpox, and see freedom spread around the globe.

Barry is 25 away from Aaron with about two dozen games to play this year (22 homers on the season.) His 2-run shot in the 8th tied the game.

He could really do this. If he gets five more this year, I really think he could hit 756 next season.

And it helped us win the game!

San Francisco Giants: 5
Cincinnati Reds: 4


For the first time in his season of setbacks and scandals, Barry Bonds is feeling really good. And, the feeling is rubbing off on everyone around him.

Bonds hit a tying, two-run homer in the eighth inning — No. 730 overall — and Shea Hillenbrand had a solo shot in the 10th that sent the surging San Francisco Giants to a 5-4 victory over the slumping Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

For most of the season, Bonds has been a focal point for his chase of baseball's home run record and a grand jury's investigation of his conduct. With his legs feeling strong again, he's become the focal point of San Francisco's comeback.

"I'm feeling a lot better," said Bonds, who has an eight-game hitting streak. "I feel good."

The Giants have won three in a row and 15 of 21, pulling into contention for the NL wild card. Their comeback on Monday moved them to .500 (69-69) for the first time since July 27.


GO GIANTS!!!
