What is wrong with using DMOZ.org? Seems like the perfect place....

PDF is a pain, but worth going through.
Seems the more "dodgerized" the Giants lineup gets, the more incentive to walk Bonds.
OTOH, perhaps a coincidencce, but earlier this year, teams pitched to Bonds, and he hit poorly - it was only after a couple games with HR's that the walk pattern started, and his OBP starting rising.
Is this a chicken/egg situation where the more you decide to walk Bonds, the fiercer hitter he is when he does get a pitch to hit, or was he merely mortal early this year, and got hot about the same time as he was being pitched around.
thanks for posting this - I ejnjoyed it both this time, and your previous contribution!
