Bonds goes yard

Barry nailed his 759th homerun last night for the Giants. He nailed the first pitch off Tim Hudson in the 6th inning for his 25th homerun of the season.

I drafted Barry for the sole purpose of following his chase to Hank Aaron's record, now that it is over with I am completely satisfied with his production for the year. Did I pay too much for him? Maybe but the excitement that he has brought to my fantasy team has been irreplaceable. It was a bidding war between the Poopers and Team FKAky during our draft this year. I secretly wore my Bonds tshirt underneath my sweat shirt and ripping that off after I got him was great comedy to the draft. I knew that I had to have him. It did change my draft philosophy a bit after I got him but I knew that if I let him slip out of my hands that I would regret it. Would I do it again? Probably not but we will have to wait for next year to find out.
