No doubt about it when we at Oh No Romo heard about this new plan by the Chinese Govt. to destroy all rain clouds by using missiles, we were impressed and just a little concerned.
This missile is expected to be shot at clouds, forcing them to dissipate, therefore making it sunny outside for the Beijing Olympics next year. You think they'll have one for Jim Lampley? I doubt it, but hey I can dream can't I?
It's Friday though and it is time for the rest of the Friday Briefs, where I write briefs in my boxers:
Sergio Garcia led the first round of the British Open after shooting a -6 65. As of right now, Garcia remains at the top of the leaderboard, shooting an Even 71 to stay at -6 for the tournament.
Garcia has a three shot lead over four players, including KJ Choi and Miguel Angel Jimenez. For all you Tiger Fans, Woods is currently Even Par through five holes. While Monty is 1+ through four holes.
In other news, Barry Bonds hit his 752nd and 753rd home run of his career. He hit them twice yesterday in the Giants loss to the Cubs. He now needs only three to pass Hank Aaron on the All-Time Home Run list.
Finally, in what could be the worst news the St. Louis Cardinals could ever hear, their Ace Chris Carpenter will be getting Tommy John surgery, effectively ending his season and part of the next season.
Carpenter was expected to come back this month after injuring his arm in April.
Those are your Friday Briefs. I'm taking the weekend off, and I will be back on Monday. I'll see you then, have a Happy Friday

Can't We All Just Get Along? With Barry?
We all know it is inevitable that Barry Bonds will break the coveted Hank Aaron Home Run record. We also know that the country has split, in terms of views on seeing Bonds break the record.
According to a poll conducted by the AP, 55% of minorities want to see Bonds break the record, while 34% of white non-hispanics want to see the record broken.
So what does this say when a nation of sports fans are split when it comes to seeing one of the greats of baseball shatter its most coveted record? I'll let you answer that question.
The truth is we don't know, we think we know Bonds, but we don't. The evidence is clear, the leaked BALCO Testimony, 'Game of Shadows', Bonds' big head, it all looks obvious. But he'll never tell. I doubt he ever will.
One thing can be said about Bonds, whether you like him or not, whether you think he knowingly took steroids or not, he's still one of those rare players that comes around once every generation.
Do I think he's juiced, yes I do, just like I think Mark McGwire took steroids, Sammy Sosa, Jason Giambi and even Rafael Palmeiro.
Even though I think he's more beefed up than a cooked 'Ballpark Frank', I'll still watch when he hits 756, just like when I watched the great chase in 1998, or when 71 was shattered.
The question is, will you?
