I always thought the “A” in “A-Rod” stood for Alex, but maybe not. I’ve heard other suggestions.
Anywho, if you aren’t as sick of this story as I am, go read more about it. Short version is, it looks like Alex Rodriguez will remain with the Yankees.
Go on, act like you care. I dare you.
Like what […]

The New York Yankees have re-signed veteran catcher Jorge Posada to a 4-year, $52 million deal. Hey, they’re the Yankees; they can afford to do that sort of thing.
The 36-year-old Posada is coming off a career year in which he hit .338/.426/.543. Perhaps more impressively, he has caught at least 130 games in each of […]

Joe Girardi has been named manager of the New York Yankees. It’s a 3-year deal worth an estimated $7.5 million. That’s a little more than the slap in the face offered to the departed Joe Torre. On the bright side, Girardi is less entrenched than Torre was, which should make him a little easier for […]

In news that will come as a complete shock to absolutely no-one, New York Yankees first-round pick Andrew Brackman will undergo “Tommy John” surgery to repair his right elbow. Brackman was considered a huge risk headed into the draft due to elbow problems that kept him out of the ACC and NCAA tournaments this season. […]

Wednesday. The middle of the week. Humpday. Halfway between there and here. Eh, you get the point. Some good games on tap today…
American League
Indians at Tigers, 4:05 p.m. PT — Just a half-game separates these AL Central rivals. Paul Byrd vs Justin Verlander looks like a mismatch, and I suppose it is. Byrd, though, is […]

It’s got to be hard to be the youngest ever to reach 500 career home runs and not even be the day’s biggest story. Such is the life of Alex Rodriguez, who reached the milestone on Saturday. The answer to your trivia question: Kansas City’s Kyle Davies.
Congrats to Rodriguez on his achievement!

ESPN reports that commissioner Bud Selig is “leaning toward suspending” New York Yankees designated hitter Jason Giambi for the latter’s recent comments about steroid use. From the article:
After hearing of Giambi’s comments, Selig offered the slugger a deal: Talk to [lead investigator Sen. George] Mitchell and “cooperate fully” or you will face disciplinary action.

I’m trying to think of an angle that hasn’t been worked to death, and I doubt that any exist. After all, this is Roger Clemens and the New York Yankees. It’s hard to imagine a more overexposed story in all of baseball.
But I’ll give it a shot anyway. :-)

Did you miss me yesterday? I’m not looking for an honest response; the correct answer is yes.
I crack myself up. That makes one of us, eh?
So it seems that reliever Kyle Farnsworth isn’t real thrilled about the arrangement Roger Clemens has made with the New York Yankees. You know, the one where Clemens gets to […]
