Testing Barry

Baseball Musings this morning:

‘Barry Bonds is likely to be tested at the plate this evening. Should he also be tested in the field? Legs have a lot to do with generating power in throwing. Should the Padres run on Bonds as much as possible? Should they even try going first to third on singles to left? Stretching singles into doubles? The experiments the Padres conduct on Bonds in the field will be as interest as the ones at the plate.’

I think they should test how fast he can duck out of the way of a fast ball aimed at his helmet.

But maybe that’s just me.

Alien seed pods. Golden Delicious Apples.

Couple of new items of mine up elsewhere: Alien seed pods at blogging.la and Golden Delicious Apple at The Grown Diaries.
