Finally!

"But after becoming a World Series champion and offering little fodder for the gossip pages - he's reportedly dating Cameron Diaz after things ended with Kate Hudson - Rodriguez had the Yankee faithful wondering: What's taking so long?"

I know lots of Yankee fans and nobody was wondering.

But good to know he's reportedly dating Cameron Diaz.


"A-Rod put an end to the waiting Saturday in the Yankees' 7-3 victory over the Texas Rangers at the Stadium."

Yes, an end to the waiting. The world can resume its normal day-to-day activities.


"It came in his 42nd at-bat, ending the second-longest homerless drought of his career to begin a season, ..."

42 whole at-bats in the cold, in the rain, in April.


"... trailing only the 48 at-bat homerless streak he had at the start of the 1995 season with the Seattle Mariners."

Well, I give you credit for looking up an unimportant statistic.


"Yet for the 44,963 fans at the Stadium Saturday, A-Rod's first homer of the year seemed have the same effect as his first one last year: The focus was on the game, and the game alone, even as a graphic flashed on the big screen tracking Rodriguez's 'assault' on 600 home runs."

That's because nobody cared that he had gone 42 at-bats without hitting a HR.
