he's starting - he wants the record at home. The Giants will be home for a weekend series against the Dodgers before they hit the road, so... who knows whether Bonds will play on Thursday ?

Close enough? yeah, we'll give it to you. Now what do you want? How bout some respect for a change? Nah, didn't think so. Are you trying to harken back to 20 pages ago when we were talking about Rodney Dangerfield? Nobody gets any respect around here !!
