Distractions

Where would we be if it wasn't for the NY Daily News coming up with new names for the continuing saga of A-Rod? Well as of this morning it became official, C-Rod is D-Roding A-Rod. Apparently the M-Rod scandal was the feather that broke the Camel-Rod's back. This is the last thing the team needs right now, yet another distraction in the midst of a year where seemingly every damn player has visited the DL and where we can't seem to catch a break.

As if this distraction and the news that Johnny Damon is headed to the DL for the first time in his career isn't enough, from the land of missed opportunity comes news that CC Sabathia is headed to the Brewers. Sure, the Yankees really didn't have a lot to offer Cleveland for Sabathia but still, it would have been worth it to at least make a big push for the guy.

At the very least last nights game was a gem and we managed to split the series against the sox. Brett Gardner has got to be feeling on top of the world today after his walk off to win the game for New York. You always have to love stuff like that. Unlike Manny who couldn't even manage the strength to get his bat off his shoulder late in the game.
