Barry Bonds ties Babes record, Camilo Villegas, World Cup hotties, Wayne Rooney update.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BARRY ‘BABE’ BONDS
The San Francisco Giants crossed the bay bridge and took the Oakland A’s by storm. Or more aptly, Barry Bonds spanked Oakland A’s pitcher Brad Halsey (below) during the second inning of the game.
Halsey gave Barry just enough to launch a homer, THE homer, number 714, to tie Babe Ruth’s record for 2nd place on the all time list. “This took a lot off me. It’s good,” Bonds said. “A lot of relief. Well, until something else comes up…I’m just glad it happened in the Bay,” Bonds said. “East Bay, West Bay. I’m just glad it happened here.” Oakland Athletics pitcher Brad Halsey was the 420th different pitcher Bonds has homered off. What about the “fan” who caught the ball? Two words for ya- Mensa reject. The 19-year-old college student left the game early after being asked if he would give the ball to Bonds. “I hate that guy,” he said. At a news conference after the game, Bonds said he was mystified by such sentiments. “I don’t have any idea why anyone would express any hatred toward any other person that you don’t know.” (Well-said Barry). The Mensa reject, soaking in his fifteen minutes of fame, spoke ala Bode Miller style: “I’ll probably go party or something.” Rejects brother, in an attempt to wet his beak, said the ball is destined for “sale”. “He’s going to sell it,” he told reporters. “He knows where the money is at.”
CAMILO VILLEGAS
After four rounds of crawling, Camilo Villegas isnt likely to win the Bank of America Colonial which ends today. Villegas has been consistent with his play, usually ending 1 or 2 under.
He wasn’t projected to make the cut in this tourney, so mad love to the sexy lawn-kat for completing the event and giving us a few good images to mull over. And remember, Villegas will be crawling in the Fed-Ex St. Jude Classic, May 25th-28th during the TPC at Southwind in Memphis.

WAYNE ROONEY TO PLAY?
According to The Sun on Saturday, the little bulldog’s rapid progress in recent weeks has surprised the England camp so much that they feel he could make an appearance in their opener on June 10. The Sun quoted an unnamed England source as saying: “It is pretty well known in the camp Wayne is way ahead of schedule - but why tell the opposition?” Does this mean that the “opposition” doesn’t read the Sun?
That’s it for today. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
