When he got one last chance to kick sand in Barry Bonds's face, he took it. Enablers fans on their feet to watch their doped up cheater hero hit number 758? "Here, have one outside for a sad little popup with the game on the line," the Big Fella said, "And oh by the way that's the series we just tied with you." That moment alone was worth Majority Leader honors.

But then Rauch pulled the old pump-to-third-throw-to-first move and it worked. That never works. And not "never works" in metaphorical, teenager terms meaning "hasn't worked for at least a day or two." BallWonk has never actually seen that play work, ever. Well, not in the big leagues. Worked once against BallWonk in youth ball. Anyway, point is that when he got in trouble and needed the out, the Big Fella tried the sorriest trick in the book and made it work and got out of the inning with the two-run lead intact and we all know the Chief might blow a one-run lead but a two-run lead is like the game right there, the umpires should have declared it in the eighth, and like Rauch said to Barry that's the series tied and see you in September, Mr. Bonds.
