Hey,if the Astros sit Bigggio so he can get hit # 3000 at home then surely the Giants will do the same,but the Brewers and Cubs are in a tight race and sitting Bonds would be just wrong,I don't believe Bonds would do that actually.

Why so...it did sound too funny to be true...I should give some context here,Darling was talking about what Schoeneweis is going through at Shea,getting booed a lot ,plus the high ERA....he called it the Sisk effect... then he told the Sisk story...

I'd hate to speculate why that seems to be the case,but I would think being in a close race would bring them together....seems like that's not what is happening though.
Interesting bit in the Snooze today..... ] OLD FRIEND: Julio Franco signed with the Braves, not that his former teammates were broken up. Randolph suggested the importance of having a veteran clubhouse presence such as Franco's was overstated. "You have to produce," the manager said. "All that clubhouse stuff is overrated." Franco's former teammates went so far as to portray him as a chronic complainer who wouldn't exactly swing the division race by defecting. Franco, who turns 49 on Aug. 23, is expected to be activated today. Franco hit .200 with a homer and eight RBI for the Mets this season.
Darling told a great story about Doug Sisk,over the off-season Sisk gained quite a bit of weight and was not able to lose it all in spring training, and on opening day when he was introduced to the fans at Shea to a chorus of boos two snickers fell out of his pockets while running onto the field.
