Barry Bonds now has a higher OPS than Alex Rodriguez

Tonight the Yankees finally won a game but Alex Rodriguez went 0 for 4 with 2 strikeouts. He's now 1 for 14 in his last 4 games.

A-Rod now at .348/.412/.899 for a 1.311 OPS

Barry hit his 8th home run tonight and just missed in another at bat with a very long fly ball before getting intentionally walked and then walked again.

Bonds is now at .362/.519/.828 for a 1.347 OPS

That's right. For all of the big talk about A-Rod's great April at age 31. Barry Bonds is now statistically having a better month than him at age 42. Sure Rodriguez is good. He's a good hitter for a 3B. But come on now. This is Barry Bonds time. The man is a legend among legends. Everyone else will merely be a footnote in comparison.

There was Babe Ruth. Then there was Ted Williams. Now there is Barry Bonds.

April 13th through tonight: Barry has 15 hits in 30 at bats with 6 home runs.

The Lord Has Risen.

If you look back at some earlier posts you'll see that I was predicting just this type of season for bonds before the year began. He's making me look really really good right now like some kind of Nostradamus and shit. How many people (besides me) thought Bonds still had this kind of hitting in him? He's not merely hanging on to break a record. He's DOMINATING.
