You know Brett Favre is associated with football, and football is different than baseball. You know this, right?

"Alex Rodriguez made a nice stop, but his ill-advised throw to first was wild. Teixeira made a superb play to stop the ball, as Felix Pie would have scored the game-winner if it had gotten past the first baseman.

'That's one of the highlight plays of the year for me,' A-Rod said. Asked why he attempted the throw in the first place, Rodriguez said, 'To make a play, like Brett Favre. At that point, you have to go crazy to make a play.' "

It's almost charming in a way how ARod's mind can twist any bad play into a good play.

When he got thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single into a double? It was like Ben Franklin discovering electricity. Sometimes, you've got to take a chance.
