I know links to Times articles are lame blogging, but of all the A-Rod pieces I read today, this was one of my favorite. It’s dead on.
The Yankees are positioned to be the biggest suckers, given their contractual obligation to put up with Alex Rodriguez until 2018.
Even after Rodriguez’s agent Scott Boras pulled his shameless 2007 World Series stunt — claiming his man wanted out of New York before the Red Sox could pop a Champagne cork in Denver — the Yankees were ready to retie the knot the minute A-Rod picked up the telephone to say, Just kidding. He had Hank at hello, and soon after, it was till 2018 do they part because somewhere along the way, the Yankees would dress the next great baseball moment in pinstripes, delivering a clean-as-a-whistle home run champ.
