ARod gets uppity.

Alex Rodriguez basically equalled Carlos Beltran's season in one game.

But Mike Lupica would like to remind you that Reggie Jackson's three-homerun game in the World Series was more impressive. (Even Lupica begrudgingly admits that ARod's three-homerun game exciting.)

Also, the Daily News forgets about ARod's postseason domination of the Twins last year; only the Red Sox count.


Now, if this guy is so tortured by the prospects of covering the Yankee game, maybe he should get a new job.

Because sportswriters have to write about sports. They're paid to write about sports. Supposedly a service to the readership, an audience of sports fans.

Even though sportswriters just seem to be consumed with writing about writing about sports, instead of just writing about sports.

Larry Brooks sounds bored out of his mind unless a player hits 3 homeruns in a game or strikes out 20 batters.
