I look forward to playing the Giants because of Barry Bonds. There is an added atmosphere in those games.

The Red Sox are built around Curt Schilling, the Giants are built around Barry Bonds. Everybody's got that special someone.

This year, we got the Barry Bonds- style pants that come all the way down. We try to do what's in style every year — keep our uniforms up-to-date. ... We take a lot of pride in what we're doing.

Jason or Barry Bonds, you don't want them to hit a homer. As a team, you want him to be on base, and sometimes, they'll surprise you. Barry Bonds, he doesn't want to bunt, but you never know.

I don't want to compare the guy to Barry Bonds, but the streak he's been on is very similar in that people aren't going to pitch to him if they don't have to.

It's a lot easier than the NL when they treat you like Barry Bonds when they know the pitcher is on deck, so it's better for Alex and a comfort level for me, defensively.
