In Barry Bonds' morning interview, he downplayed a slump that reached 0-for-17 and 5-for-42 before he singled in the fourth inning.
"I'm fine. I've been here before," he said. "I look at it this way: It's a slump. If it continues for the next five months, then yeah, age caught up with me. But if it doesn't, it's the same thing with anything. Every time somebody goes through something like this, it's the same stuff. It's just something to talk about.
"I'm pretty sure I'll be all right between now and October. If not, I ain't quitting, so it doesn't make any difference anyway, unless I don't have a job next year."
Asked to clarify if that meant he will play in 2008 if he somehow does not pass Aaron this year, Bonds said, "I said if I don't do it, I ain't quitting."
