Frustrating Night at Lil Rodge

Let's get the A-Rod shit out of the way.
I've never had a real opinion on the guy. He's on the Yankees so I hate him. But I couldn't care less about what he does in his personal life or how much money he makes and whether he's worth it or not.
As Brunt said on Prime Time Sports last night, (I'm paraphrasing) "It's an unwritten rule that beat writers don't cover what players are doing off the field. The New York Post crossed a line and set a very bad precedent"

As for what he did on the field yesterday, he took advantage of an inexperienced third baseman and helped his team win. Was it "bush-league"? I guess...but he did what he had to do to end the Yankees' slide. Had Jesse Litsch not given up five runs in the first inning it would have been a non issue. I was just upset it didn't lead to a brawl.

Tonight the good Doctor is back. Hopefully this start will go better than his last two where he gave up 16 earned runs combined. The shock of two straight brutal losses was so tough on Halladay it caused his appendix to burst.
