Boston Goes To Tampa

NFL: The Buccaneers have signed 27 year old wide receiver Dave Boston from Miami Dolphins.

Boston was the eighth overall pick in the 1999 draft and spent his first four years with the Cardinals peaking in 2001 when he went to the Pro Bowl with a record of 98 catches for 1,600 yards and eight TD's.

He is back from a serious knee injury and it remains to be seen if Tampa have made a shrewd purchase...

Bonds Closes In On Ruth

Bonds is about to hit his 714 th home run, at least we're not holding our collective breath. If and when he achieves this, he will tie with Babe Ruth for second place overall.

Tonight San Franciscos face the Dodgers. The Dodgers are slight favorites for the win. These two teams are bottom of the NL West. But leaders Colorado are not really that far ahead. It should be a close division right through to the end of the season.

Bonds should be concerned about Moises Alou though, who will now miss games due to a sprained right ankle. He is a big loss in the fifth place in the batting order. Pedro Felix now bats behind Bonds which means Bonds will get even fewer quality pitches to his that normal.

The Dodgers have a streak of five out of six wins even after yesterdays loss to Houston but they rely heavily on Drew and Garciaparra and if they are to have any success those two will have to remain healthy.

It will be interesting if Bonds does the business.
