Bonds hasn't lost it

While I pretty much despise Barry Bonds as a person, I certainly admire what he does on the field. Like everyone else I was curious to see what he would do upon his return from the DL this year.

Would he hit like the old Barry? Or just look old?

Well 3 home runs in 18 at-bats is a small sample size, but there is a good chance Bonds finishes the year with more home runs than Jeremy Reed.

How he can come back after such a long layoff and keep smacking the ball out of the ball park is simply amazing.

It's hard to like him, but you've got to admire him. Let's hope those rumors of him going to the AL next year (ie. Anaheim), don't come true. The M's have enough problems on their hands...
