Never Trust A-Rod’s Relatives

We know not to trust Cousin Yuri.
 
Now we know not to trust A-Rod’s brother who told us A-Rod had a cyst.
 
Newsday reports:
 
Alex Rodriguez will not have surgery for now to repair a labrum tear in his hip, Brian Cashman told reporters Thursday. But if rest, exercise and treatment do not improve A-Rod’s condition, the Yankees’ third baseman would go forward with an operation. That, Cashman said, would be “a four-month situation.”
 
A-Rod never ceases to be entertaining.

Nj.com about Piazza Speculation About You Know What

 
What interests me is the opening sentence by author Matthew Artus:
 
Murray Chass offered some speculation on his blog that surprised me. It didn’t surprise me for its content, but rather its failure to create buzz in the Mets blogosphere.
 
Artus then walks you through some of the back and forth speculation about Mike Piazza and the you know what.
 
Fair point by Artis.  I know I’ve danced lightly around that subject on this site because (a) I have no proof and (b) I know I’ll get called the devil since Saint Mike can do no wrong.
 
I can’t speak for my fellow bloggers as to why they ignore that topic.  
 
As for me, as I have said before on this blog, there’s one member of the 2000 NL Champion Mets who I suspect was on steroids, and I won’t be surprised when a 2000 Met appears on the list of the 104.  I’ll stick to that.

Tour C-Field for Free

NY1 says…
 
The Mets are dangling a carrot in front of fans who do not have season tickets, by offering tours of the new Citi Field.
 

The early look at the stadium is only being offered to those who are thinking of buying a seat package – and will not be available to current season ticket holders.

 

The tours will be given on a first-come, first-served basis beginning tomorrow.

 

Now I bet you’re glad you shelled out five bucks for a St. John’s game

A-Rod Out: Move Jeter To Third (Seriously)

A-Rod, the gift that keeps on giving, is out for 10 weeks.
 
I’m going to propose something short-term crazy, long term brilliant.
 
The Captain should (cough) vounteer to go to third.
 
Unless you think Cody Ransom is the THE ANSWER at third, the Yankees are going to have a scrub in the lineup one way or the other.
 
The Captain should graciously withdraw from the WBC and offer to play third “for the good of the team” and whatever else the Yankees want to spin, and we’ll all willingly buy.  Stick a glove at short.
 
Play third for 10 weeks. 
 
Derek you have five weeks to get used to it.   A-Rod did it, Ripken did it.  There’s no shame.  Plus it’s for the good of the team.
 
In 10 weeks The Captain can decide that he’s really comortable over there and “ask” if he can stay over there if he wants…or go back to SS to help A-Rod with his hip.  At least they’ll have prepared the masses for a position flip in 2010.  
 
Why do I propose this?  Because the Yankees are two years away from either saying goodbye to The Captain with close to 3,000 hits, or risk having an aging shortstop under increasing fire and with diminishing ability.  
 
Nobody will think less of you Derek, and once again you’ll be the hero at A-Rod’s expense.  Make the move now while you have the chance.
