755, 500, 300


The day in sports today is a day in numbers for many.

Barry Bonds is one HR away from tying Hank Aaron's 33 year old record. Bonds plays the next 3 games in Los Angeles, where the fans have never liked him very much, to say the least. Check later to see if Barry is in the lineup of if the team will "rest" him until returning to San Francisco next week.

Tom Glavine is one win away from 300. Glavine takes the mound in Milwaukee tonight in his first attempt at 300. This could be the last 300 game winner that we see for a very long time. Randy Johnson is within striking distance but may have thrown the last pitch of his career.

Alex Rodriguez is one HR away from 500, which will make him the youngest man ever to reach 500 HR's at the young age of 32. ARod has not gotten a hit since hitting his 499th HR last week. No word on whether Torre will move him to 8th in tonight's lineup.

The MLB Trade Deadline is 5.5 hours from now and Atlanta has taken the lead as far as deals go. Texieria is already on board with Dotel to soon follow. Look for the Mets to trade for as many 30-40 year old Latino players as possible in the next few hours. Let's hope the Yankees can trick someone into taking Farnsworth off of their hands also.

RIP Bill Walsh To a man that needs no introduction. He helped change the way modern day offenses are run.

More updates on MLB trades to come without the day.
