Bush Gives Bonds Congratulatory Phone Call

I'd have a lot to say about this, but my days of steroids rants are over (and this time I really, really, really mean it!). I will say this much, at least when it comes to baseball, I have more respect for Bush than I do for Bud Selig (I didn't see the Selig Calls Bonds to Congratulate Him headline).

Update 8/9/07: I heard on the radio last night that Bonds did receive a congratulations call from Selig after the game he hit #756. Now I can go back to having equal amounts of respect for President Bush and Commisioner Selig.

All Hail Jerry Crasnick!

As ever, Crasnick is the man! If anyone can clue me in on why Pedro Gomez is a baseball contributor/expert, I'd appreciate it.

ESPN.COM'S PREDICTIONS In March, ESPN.com asked its baseball contributors to predict when Barry Bonds would pass Hank Aaron as the all-time home run leader. Jerry Crasnick correctly predicted Aug. 7 as the date Bonds would hit No. 756. Here are the original predictions.
