Teixeira's legs are tired.

"Though he has six homers in his last 12 games and is playing his usual stellar defense, Teixeira has dealt now and again with fatigue. He labored to score from second on Yangervis Solarte’s deep single in the seventh inning and took his time rounding the bases on his homer on Sunday because he said he was simply gassed."

Well, he has not been playing stellar defense, for one thing.

Secondly, he took his time rounding the bases on his homer because he was simply gassed?

For crying out loud, get a Tony Little gazelle.
