Hooray.... yippee.... whoopee.... he did it.... blah.... blah.... blah.... That's right, Barry bonds broke Hank Aaron's career homerun record*. And then afterwards, I saw a pathetic display of "gratitude." This is the first time I have ever heard Barry Bonds be "thankful" for anything besides himself.
He thanks the fans at home and on the road? OK, at home is the only place where Bonds receives cheers, but on the road? Nah. He cannot be thankful for all the jeers. He thanks his teammates for being so supportive. Yeah! He better be thankful! They have thrown away the last two seasons just so Bonds can pass this record*. So now they sit dead last in the NL West, and hold the 4rd worst record in MLB. He does owe them his thanks. What is even more, is that this record* is not said and done. He may continue to hit homeruns, but it will be a long time before it is decided if Bonds deserves the record*. Two things will prevent him from keeping it: 1) steroid controversy and testing; 2) Alex Rodriguez (I am not an "A-Rod" fan, but if he stays healthy he is on pace to easily pass Barry Bonds).
I rented and watched the movie "Hostel." It is billed on its cover as "the scariest movie in a decade." I can say with certainty, it is NOT the scariest movie in a decade. Is it messed up? Do they do some really messed up things to these people? Absolutely, but the movie was more gore than fright. I don't recommend it. I was looking for a scary movie, and I am still looking.
By the way, my sister didn't have Rotator Cuff surgery yesterday. She said that there was an "impingement" they had to be cleared up, but not a full repair on the rotator cuff. Nonetheless, she is still hurting and will begin physical therapy tomorrow.
