There isn’t much else going on with the Bombers as of late, except the Alex Rodriguez saga, so we shall continue talks for at least one more day at the Pinstripe Press. The Yankees were quite supportive in their statements, as well as Jorge and Derek. That’s one positive step in the right direction - maybe these guys really could rally around him and go try to win a championship?

I mean let’s be serious here, if this Yankee team put all this garbage aside and just went out and played baseball everyday, there’s no reason they shouldn’t at least win the pennant. BUT, as we all know, there’s a lot that goes into having a winning season. Alex Rodriguez needs to STOP caring about numbers, he needs to STOP caring about how he looks at the plate, and START playing baseball the way we all learned as kids. Go out there and have FUN, be a TEAM-PLAYER, and forget all the MONEY that’s involved.

If this guy can do all these things, then we will have a very very good season. If not, then it’s going to be a big fat distraction all year long. Another big factor this year could be sticking Teixeira behind him in the line-up, because that will really create a good opportunity to see some nice pitches to connect on. Again, Alex Rodriguez MUST clear his mind for all of this to take a turn for the better. He’s gotta lose the robotic behavior, and act like a human-being that just wants to play winning baseball.

We’re just a few days from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp, so it’d be nice if all of this could be pushed to the side so we can talk about real baseball. BUT that will not be the case, so A-Rod is the only one that can diffuse this situation and show what he’s really made of from here on out.
