“This is just the streaky A-Rod we’re going to have to get used to since his surgery.”

…

“That doesn’t at all refute anything that I stated. Thanks for commenting though.”

Short fuse, huh Tank. How about this… Just because a guy is in the midst of one streak does not make that player “streaky.” It just means he’s in the midst of one streak.

It’s your LoHud brethren. Takes some of them a while to get up to speed.

I dunno…if he couldn’t take Smoltz deep then I don’t give him a good chance vs Beckett.

This is just the streaky A-Rod we’re going to have to get used to since his surgery. Hopefully he can come back fully healthy next season and have an MVP type season. I really think he’ll catch fire next season…if not sometime this season. I think Teixeira takes a huge amount of pressure off of him. A-Rod just hasn’t been healthy enough to take full advantage.

imagine how they’ll far when he’s streaking again.

Tonight would be a good time to start.

Yes, but the defense is definitely an upgrade over last year, and i like damon’s recent effort, sacrificing his body for an out, had a spectacular catch in Chicago.

Heh, the title of recent GAKIII article (don’t know how I came across his articles because I hate reading him but I did) was, “A-ROD HR DROUGHT RAISING EYEBROWS.”

This was written after the Chi-Sox series I think. Some interesting statements:

“Since the Yankees have lost three of four and open a crucial four-game series against the Red Sox on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, it’s imperative the cleanup hitter hit.

Does he have to send balls into the seats at the homer-friendly Stadium? No, but people don’t watch Rodriguez to see him hit doubles or flare singles to left and right.

And you can bet on this: If the Yankees lose three of four or get swept by the Red Sox, against whom they are 0-8 this year, and Rodriguez doesn’t homer, the blame is going between the 1 and 3 on his back.”

NYP writers never cease to amaze me.
