By now, unless you were stuck in a Utah mine you know that Barry Bonds broke the home run record. Now that the homer chase is finally over, all you fantasy junkies who own Barry wanna know if he'll actually care now that he's broken Aaron's record. ESPN Fantasy Expert Eric Karabell told SprungOnSports that Bonds still has plenty of motivation to succeed:
"I don't see a reason why Bonds will play more or less, then he has the last few months. He wants to keep playing, he want s 3,000 hits. I think his body will hold him back from homering three times a week. I'd expect the same production, the same day off, nothing to change."
Nothing to change, except nobody giving two pieces of vermin infested Angels ballpark food about the Giants and Nationals. They're playing a game, and Bonds has hit another home run, number 757. If the person who caught the ball is getting carried away by "security", call for help. You're getting kidnapped, the ball is not worth that much.
Whatever the Rockies took before today's game against Milwaukee, give me a year's supply. Colorado erupted for 19 runs off of the Brewers and wonderkid Yovani Gallardo and mauled Milwaukee 19-4. Garrett Atkins went 4-4 with a career high 6 RBI's for the Rox, who got 5 solid innings from Jeff Francis for the win.
The Phillies are turning it up a notch as they've won 3 straight with a 6-4 win over Florida. New acquisition Kyle Lohse won it, and returning closer Brett Myers saved it for Philadelphia, and was set up by Tom Gordon. That trio of additions on the mound could guide the Phils back to prominence in the senior circuit.
The Mets got a gigantic win tonight over the Braves 4-3 on a solo job by Moises Alou off of Rafael Soriano in the 8th. John Smoltz and Orlando Hernandez gave their teams' good start, but the Mets regained their 4.5 game division lead by winning the bullpen battle. Luis Castillo drove in 2 and Billy Wagner closed the door for his 26th save.
What do the Dodgers and a fat stripper have in common? They both haven't scored in the last 3 nights. Aaron Harang threw 8 shutout frames, Ken Griffey drove in the game's only run in the 3rd, and David Weathers shut the door on Cincy's 1-0 win over fast fading Los Angeles.
One Wells (David) may be on the outs, but Kip was outstanding as St Louis edged San Diego 2-1. Wells threw 7 shutout innings and outdueled Greg Maddux for the win.
Jose Vidro wanted to make sure that Seattle would get into a tie for the wild card lead. He homered and drove in 4, as the Mariners beat Baltimore 8-4. Jose Guillen also drove in 2 for Seattle.
The struggles of the Cubs continue. Carlos Zambrano got roasted for 7 runs in 5 and two thirds as Houston shredded Chicago 8-2. Roy Oswalt threw 6 shutout frames for the win, and Luke Scott drove in 3 for the Astros.
Detroit was silenced by James Shields over 7 innings as Tampa Bay defeated Detroit 7-1. Carlos Pena, Delmon Young, and Dioner Navarro each drove in a pair for the Rays, who pounded out 16 hits for the win.
Toronto put up 5 spots in the 3rd and 6th innings to steamroll the Yankees 15-4. Chien Ming Wang was beat up for 8 runs in 2 and two thirds as Roy Halladay and the Jays cruised to victory. Vernon Wells drove in 4, Frank Thomas drove in 3, and Hill and Zaun drove in a pair each for John Gibbons. Robbie Cano had 2 homers in the loss.
