Sports Update

First off I would like to congratulate Barry Lamar Bonds for hitting his 715th career homerun. That homerun put him in sole possession of second place on the all-time homerun record. It is an amazing feat and I applaud him for it. I don’t believe the controversy surrounding him whether he took steroids or not, because you can go through any time period of baseball and find some other reason to knock the records of his time. Whether it is Babe Ruth’s time when he didn’t have to play against African American opponents or whether it was during the time period of the juiced ball or dead ball, or if it was when pitchers were getting away with altering the baseball through sandpaper, spit, Vaseline or sweat. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the history to challenge records, so there is no reason to start now. Congratulations Barry and I hope you pass Hank Aaron before your career is over.





On Sunday night the Phoenix Suns once again fell to the Dallas Mavericks by the score of 95-88. As you can see from the declining scores, the Mavericks are imposing their style of basketball on the series and preventing the Suns run-and-gun style from coming through. Half court games are not best suited for the Suns and it has shown in the two consecutive losses they have received. In the Battle of the Best Friends Dirk Nowitzki won the battle with his 28 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists to Steve Nash’s 21 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists. I hope that things get better for the Suns in game 4.
