It sure didn't take long

Fans are already blasting Alex Rodriguez. He hits a two run homer for the Yanks’ only two runs last night against the Blue Jays-but fans tee off because of his strikeout in the the ninth inning with two aborad.

Stop, Yankee fans.

A-Rod carried you to the playoffs last year. For all his failings in the postseason, Alex hasn’t gotten a lot of help. Instead, remind Joe Girardi that Mike Mussina is a #5 starter at best. Matching him up against a clearly better pitcher like A.J. Burnett (yes, I know Pettitte returns Saturday) will always put the team behind the eight ball.

Back to Rodriguez: Remember that the best hitters fail 7 out of 10 times. Ignore these harsh comments from Ted Williams. In 1941, Williams was asked what it was like to hit .400 (His .406 that year was the last time anyone has done it) Teddy Ballgame replied: “If your boss gave you 10 jobs to do and you only did 4 of them right, how would YOU feel?”
