I'd like to think the style is my own. Of course, I've been influenced by all the greats Rodgers and Hammerstein, Bernstein, Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Sondheim.

I believe that the DH rule is going to be in effect, so Bonds will probably just hit. I think it will be good for him to get those at-bats without having to be in the outfield like he did when he came back late last year on that knee and at least sharpen his swing, which really don't need a whole lot to be sharp, but it will be a help for him and to the Giants and to the tournament, to the U.S. team.

He relies mostly on his fastball and slider. He has a curve and a change-up, but doesn't get a chance to throw them because his role has been to come in and throw hard for one inning. Right now he's doing what he has to do (in Fresno) and he has a good chance to pitch with the Giants this season.

When he took over an absolute mockery of a franchise, John said two things - he was going to run the ball and stop the run. Nothing epitomizes that more than the Giants game. That's what John said in his first press conference and that's exactly what he's done.

I love college football and I love pro football. This is how fair-weathered I am. I used to be a Giants fan, but my son who's turning 12 has really gotten into football, and he likes the Jets, so I totally jumped ships so we can root for the same team.

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