151
127
115
My best day yet, and 151 is my best single game yet. I hurt myself about midway through. A couple of weeks ago it was my hand and forearm, but last night it was my knee. Christ I'm getting old. I'm suffering bowling injuries. Pathetic. We won in a clean sweep.

Thank You, FJM
This, among many, many, many other reasons, is why I hate watching games on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball:
Just listen to the nonsense that comes out of Joe's mouth. After you're done, read Fire Joe Morgan. There's a link to the right.

Opting Out
Believe it or not, Alex Rodriguez's decision to skip the Home Run Derby during All-Star Weekend is stirring up some controversy. It never ceases to amaze me me just how much people love drama. Everyone will tell you otherwise, but then there they are, stirring the pot.
Reports: A-Rod passing on Home Run Derby
I have no problem with Alex Rodriguez skipping the Home Run Derby. I don't care if it actually screws up his swing or not, the point is he thinks it will. Rodriguez has a reputation as a head case, and baseball is just as much mental as it is physical. As a Yankee fan, Rodriguez's peace of mind is infinitely more important than the stupid Home Run Derby. Some players can participate in this thing with no problem, and there are others, not just Alex Rodriguez, who feel it screws with their mechanics. If you know anything about the game, then you know that even the smallest mechanical flaw is difficult to correct on the fly, even after you've identified the problem.
This isn't even a story. This is another reason for people to jump on Alex Rodriguez's case for taking was given to him. Get off his back and find something else to cry about, seriously.
