Funniest thing I've read in a while
Is right here. On the topic of ESPN, I can't help but notice how the personalities there have essentially turned into Alex Rodriguez groupies. I half expect ESPN announcers to throw their sports jackets on home plate after Rodriguez rounds the bases.
One problem. The Yankees are losing. In fact, they haven't won since A-Rod's merry jog around the bases against the Indians.
You can't judge a guy, or a team, by 18 games.
But the Yankees are 8-10. Yes, Rodriguez is directly responsible for two of those wins. But as Herman Edwards said "You play to win the game."
And the Yankees have lost for straight.
With that pitching staff, the Yankees will be lucky to finish 10 games over .500. Health and money will no doubt change the shape of the team's outlook. But in that lineup, I keep coming back to this conclusion:
A-Rod is pretty meaningless right now.
