Can A-Rod Be A Hero?
The Yankees are 13-14 and not a very good team right now. Unless something bad happens, A-Rod will join them in Baltimore on Friday and have a chance to be the hero of 2009.
Let's face it, the only "good" thing about the Yankees' performance so far is that it takes the pressure off of Alex. If he was returning to a 20-7 team and they then slumped, it wouldn't matter what he personally did, Alex would be blamed. Now the opposite is true. If the Yankees go on to make the playoffs this year everyone will point to May 8th and how the team was .500 without him and then caught fire when he returned.
It's the perfect scenario for Alex considering his offseason. Just come back, hit and hope the team wins. Everyone in New York will forget the other crap and the fans outside of New York were never going to forget it anyway. Is Alex up to this? I sure hope so.

it will be more fun beating the Yankees with Arod in there for sure.
C'mon back, no doubt it will help the Yankees win ballgames.
Time to have the cream of the crop start to collectively pull away from the pack. Lets see the 3 team race in the East we all hope for.

I'm waiting for the Stadium to start chanting "Yankees Suck" any game now. Really wouldn't surprise me at all. A-Rod's bat will surely change the dynamic of the middle of their lineup which can only help. Hopefully, he can hit when it counts - and make everyone a bit more effective at the plate.

This just in. The reason that Yankees have been losing this season is because, according to www.yankees.com, they have their hand on the clutch. Left foot on clutch or brake fellas, right foot goes on accelerator. Hands on steering wheel. Headline writers - must be a fun group of guys.
