The San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies in
the Mile High City Sunday afternoon 8-6. The winner
was Matt Herges (1-0) and Armando Benitez picked up
his first save. The loser for Colorado was Byung-Hyun
Kim (0-2).
Michael Tucker was 2-for-5 with a double and Edgardo
Alfonzo was 3-for-4, also with a double.
The Giants tangle next in San Diego and conclude their
brief visit to Petco Park on Tuesday. The team has not
expressed any concern over a story that was printed by
the Chronicle concerning Barry Bonds' continued
association with trainer Greg Anderson, who has been
indicted in the BALCO scandal by the San Francisco
grand jury.
Bonds was quoted as saying, "I'm loyal to my friends
and Greg Anderson is a friend."
Bonds was seen by a Chronicle writer and a
photographer entering a Burlingame gym and working out
with Anderson.
It's been said that Bonds, despite what the appearance
of all this is, will continue his workout regimen with
Anderson and will also continue to work with weights
and lifting.
Bonds attorney, Michael Rains, has asked the superstar
to stop working out with Anderson because the
appearance of it would be suspicious.
One other concern is that if Bonds was to continue
doing this, he would be accused further of receiving
steroids from Anderson.
At last word, the pair have met every other day since
the story ran last week. Bonds, who receives more than
$10 million a year, will continue the practice and
will work out with Anderson, regardless what people
think.
Anderson has had his home invaded by the Feds and had
computers and documents taken from his home, according
to the Chronicle.
