The thing I'm happy with too is that the Yankees are calling up guys from the Farm and they're succeeding. I wish they would've learned this sooner instead of spending like Barack Obama at an Entitlements Convention.

I can't stand A-Rod as a human being, but he really does make the Yankees a better team. I can't stand him, but I think that Selena Roberts woman definitely had an axe to grind against him. Its hard to defend A-Rod, but I think when he was taking steroids it was not only known, but encouraged and was apart of MLB culture in general. Good to see all the mass hysteria and attention hasn't effected his game.

I used to adore A-Rod back in his Mariners days.. I even named my daughter Alexandra and her nickname on the field is AROD..What a tragedy he is an idiot and cheater!! .....

Well been to a few Rangers games now and also caught the Cubs at the Rockies.

Rangers are second in the division but have a few games against the Angels and one behind the Red Sox in the wild card.

My hope is that the Red Sox get smashed by the Yankee's again and again and with Cruz back, the legend Pudge Rodriguez, Bourbon, Elvis, Marlon Byrd and Hamilton and Young i really hope they can make the World Series!!!!!!

The Cardinals look awesome and Pujols blows me away!
