‘Personally, I just wish (Bonds’ return) was sooner. I think (the Giants) would have had a shot at the division title. But it’s too little too late.’

‘I’ve been waiting all season for him to come back. I was surprised they pitched to him.’

‘I think it’s great for the Giants but I think he’d be better off just hitting. I’m not a big fan of the way he plays in the field.’

‘I thought he was good for being out so long. He didn’t have to run so that was good. the timing was right. He came up during halftime.’

‘It’s been too long. We missed him. He elevates the excitement 300 percent. They called it a double but that first at bat was a homerun in my book.’
