The Amazin' Barry Bonds and the beguiling Red Sox

If you ignore his mind-boggling 104 intentional walks, Bonds' OPS is still 1.345. An OPS of 1.000 should at least put a person in consideration for MVP. Wow.
Despite the offense's poor performance the last two games, I'm pretty encouraged. In the playoffs we'll probably need a third starter, and Derek Lowe is starting to convince me he's that guy. We'll also need a second good reliever, and I'm now optimistic that Williamson is healthy enough to fill that role, and maybe he'll be great like before. We should be in good shape, and please don't mention even the possibility of catching New York for the division; I don't believe in curses, but jinxes....
