The way A-Rod's been playing lately... that's a rare shot!

(Spoken by a White Sox fan with a Red Sox fan girlfriend, so really don't like the Yankees!)

That's very funny. And unfortunately true. This shot resulted in a foul ball and Alex went 0-4 yesterday. Thanks to Giambi we pulled off a bottom of the ninth come from behind win.

I was there for the Subway series recentely. We got the Yankees at Yankees stadium 15-6 but the Yanks got us right back 9-0 the same night at Shea. I traveled from California for the game. I'm a diehard Metropolitan fan.........Good times.
