No wonder you went to Wimbledon.

It was better when you ignored NY baseball:

"And they can make their run, hang in there with the Red Sox and Rays, if Alex Rodriguez finally starts carrying the team the way he did at the start of last season and the way he is supposed to."

When ARod hit 14 HRs in 18 games last season, it was a record. You never saw it before and you won't see it again. Because, despite being highly-paid athletes, baseball players are bound by physical laws of the Universe.


"When a team isn't scoring enough, isn't getting runners home, that is when the biggest run producer in baseball and the guy being paid the most to have the biggest stick (on the field) is supposed to be at his best, and hitting .253 with runners in scoring position shouldn't be his best."

In 2008, despite a three-week injury, ARod is the best everyday player on this team by such a wide margin, I can't even figure out who's in second place.

Giambi, I suppose.


Besides, I just told you that you are not allowed to bring up RISP BA. Because you just wrote an article praising Jose Reyes, and Reyes is hitting .235 with RISP.

Or is Jose Reyes not "supposed to" hit with RISP?

Didn't you ask "Mets fans" about Reyes's season so far and they were upset about that one time he grounded out?


"People will put up with almost anything from their sports stars, even the kind of low-rent, high-profile, gag-me publicity A-Rod is getting these days, as long as they produce."

I absolutely agree that the Daily News, and Mike Lupica in particular, are low-rent, high-profile, gag-me publicity sluts.


"But ask Yankee fans about A-Rod's season so far, and what they want to talk about is moments like the one in Friday's game, when he had the chance to bring his team back and grounded into a force play against Manny Delcarmen with the bases loaded."

The ground out against the Red Sox. In a game where ARod had two hits and two RBIs. Lupica is a parody of himself.

Jeter and Abreu can't even get on base. RISP BA doesn't mean quite as much when the Rs are never ISP in the first place.

Lupica, we know you never asked Yankee fans anything. Yankee fans are not talking about the ground out against the Red Sox. Yankee fans are not complaining about ARod. Yankee fans are saying keep ARod, Joba, and Mariano and trade the rest of the bums.
