Barry Bonds has displayed impeccable timing at the plate throughout his career. Now everything is lined up just right for him to tie Babe Ruth. The rival Dodgers are coming to town the same day the Giants will throw a belated 75th birthday bash for his godfather, Willie Mays. Bonds remained one home run shy of Ruth's 714, going 0-for-3 with two walks that keyed a pair of rallies in San Francisco's 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon. He will resume his pursuit Friday night against the Dodgers and RHP Brad Penny, who has allowed three homers to Bonds.
