Historical Day?

Quick thought as I head out the door.

Get to know the name Sean Marshall. He's the starting pitcher for the Cubs today and I think he'll be the answer to a trivia question. I've got a feeling that Bonds goes deep today as Dusty Baker has been pretty good about challenging Barry during the series, and I think he lets Marshall go after Bonds early in the game. Bonds hit #70 in 2001 against a young kid trying to make a name for himself (anyone remember Wilfredo Rodriguez?), and I have a hunch that Mr. Marshall will join Eric Show, Al Downing, and Ralph Branca as pitchers who are best known for giving up a milestone hit in baseball lore.

Oh and in unrelated news, the German police is worried about Eastern European women being smuggled into Germany to work as prostitutes during the World Cup.

Discuss.
