kevin_standlee: (Giants Fanatic)

Tonight, the San Francisco Giants continued their season-ending tailspin and were mathematically eliminated from post-season play. There is still a little bit to play for, though, as it does appear that the Dodgers will come to town for the final series of the regular season with a chance to make the wild card, and the Giants will have another opportunity to eliminate the Dodgers from the post-season. I saw tickets to Sunday's final game of the season for as little as $33. I'm contemplating buying one.

On the post game show, the announcers talked about the possibilty that the Giants may still have to play the rained out game in St. Louis if the Cardinals continue their tailspin. They are 3 and 7 in their last 10 games and have lost 5 in a row; Houston is now only 5 games back in the NL Central. The Cardinals had been up 8.5 games with 12 left to play.

Cheer up. The Giants remained mathematically in contention longer than the Red Sox and as long as the White Sox.

So, what is Barry Bonds's home total? How far away is he from overtaking Hank Aaron?

According to Bonds' statistics, he's currently at 734 HRs. Aaron's all-time HR record is 755. Actually, when he hit #734 a few days ago, he passed Aaron in one respect: Bonds now has the lead for most National League home runs, as Aaron hit his last 22 HRs for the (at that time) American League Milwaukee Brewers. (The Brewers transferred to the National League in 1998.)
