Abreu is the Yankees' Offensive MVP.

"I think I started losing interest in A-Rod's marital situation after about the second day of headlines."

Besides you, nobody on the sports pages mentions ARod's marital situation.


"If you do the math, shouldn't Madonna have just adopted A-Rod?"

I really have no idea. Because I started losing interest in ARod's marital situation after about the second day of headlines.


Maybe if you paid attention to actual baseball, you wouldn't say ignorant things about baseball:

"Alex Rodriguez has his numbers, because he can always hang numbers on you in good times and bad, and he hit one out yesterday against the Angels. But he has not yet carried the Yankees yet the way he is paid to."

I keep hearing how ARod's doesn't seem to be having a good season.

I watch the games and, to me, he seems to be having a good season.

Because he is having a good season.


"They still have enough big names and big contracts in their batting order and that is why it is almost bewildering that, at this point in the season, it is so difficult picking an offensive MVP for them. Right now the closest to that, the player doing the job you expect him to do, is the guy hitting between Jeter and A-Rod, Bobby Abreu."

Mike Lupica just said Bobby Abreu is the Yankees' offensive MVP.


Abreu is .286/.360/.478, 15 hrs, 75 rbis, 66 runs in 107 games.

He's lucky enough to be batting in between Jeter and ARod and he can not take advantage of this.

Abreu is the worst #3 hitter in the major leagues.

He is paid close to $20 million and the worst-fielding starting right fielder in the history of Yankee Stadium


ARod may be the MVP of the AL. I wouldn't give it to him because he missed three weeks. As for MVP of the Yankees -- as for offensive MVP of the Yankees -- it's not even close.

ARod is hitting .325 (more or less leading the league)/.407/.609, 24 hrs, 66 rbis, 66 runs in 90 games.

Throw in 15 out of 16 in stolen bases.

Throw in a gold glove at third base.


Abreu is not carrying the team. Abreu is a chump. Put Nady out there every day and he'd get 100 rbis, too. David Dellucci would probably get 100 rbis and he'd play a much better outfield.

In his next 81 at-bats, if ARod gets 10 hits (.123), minus-8 homeruns, 9 rbis, and 0 runs scored, then he would match Abreu's offensive stats.
