Notebook: Alou says Bonds will be rested seattletimes.nwsource.com By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Barry Bonds might have only six more games this season to match the career home-run total of his godfather, Willie Mays. The way Bonds is hitting, that could be plenty. Finishing a personally difficult year with a flourish, Bonds has homered four times in the past six games to move three behind Mays' 660, third on the career list behind Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. Bonds has 44 home runs this season. The Giants have already clinched the National League West title, and manager Felipe Alou wants Bonds to get some rest before the playoffs. With nine games remaining before last night, Alou said, "He'll play at least six more games." Bonds played last night in the Giants' 6-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bonds, 39, has said he's content to wait until next season to catch Mays. Asked about the chase after he hit No. 657, Bonds said, "I don't discuss those things." Although he obviously has had great difficulty coping with the death of his father, Bobby, less than a month ago, the Giants' slugger seems completely focused when he puts on his uniform. Bobby Bonds, a three-time All-Star and the MVP of the 1973 game, died Aug. 23 after being ill for nearly a year with lung cancer and a brain tumor. Alou recently said, "Every once in a while there's the tendency for us to forget he lost his dad the other day." With Mays next on the home-run list, Bonds is 98 behind Aaron's record of 755. Ruth hit 714.
