Barry Bonds Expected to Start Today

I guess this news should end the speculation that Barry Bonds could be placed on the DL. Then again, a lot can happen prior to the first pitch, so we'll have to wait things out. The man hasn't started any of the games in the series against the Cubs this week after playing the entire weekend against the Dodgers without much success. If Bonds' legs are feeling better, then that means the home run chase is back on. Speaking to his confidant Barry M. Bloom, Bonds offered the following:
"Yeah, I feel like Thursday would be the right time," Bonds said. "[Wednesday] I'm going to take batting practice, move around, get on the field and run a little bit. See how my legs feel."
As long as his legs are fine, Barry should be in the lineup. It also helps that the game won't be televised by ESPN, whether or not that happens to be pure coincidence. I'm starting to think there might be some truth to a Barry Bonds anti-ESPN sentiment. After all, it's being reported he's upset at his shadow Pedro Gomez for saying several teammates were unhappy that Barry has been missing games. As if Barry didn't already provide enough drama, now we have this.
