I wrote a complete sentence. You should work on your reading comprehension.

I merely paraphrased your statement. To suggest "he still sucks" would insinuate that he "currently sucks". My comprehension is fine, its your interpretation of my comprehension that is lacking.

[ QUOTE ]
Fallen, as in, it is sad that Yankee fans, once a proud bunch, have resorted to being excited over an early season game.

As in fallen into mediocrity.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where did anyone state that Yankee fans have lost their pride or fallen into mediocrity by being excited about an early game.

Maybe you should read my original post again. I was excited that a player who has "struggled" since coming to the Yankees is having a "break out game". As a Yankee fan, that IS something to be excited about, just like when Giambi had his "break out game" by hitting a grand slam in the 14th inning to beat the Twins. If I remember correctly, that game was in May.

Your mistaking "team" excitement for "individual" excitement.

"A-Rod will still suck when the game is on the line."

Maybe this is easier: A-Rod will continue to perform like the choke-artist he is when the games matter (not in April)."

"Is A-Rod becoming a Yankee?!???" Think about what that title is inferring. A statement as such should be reserved for late season and post season heroics, NOT a 3-run homer game in April. That, is what I find sad.

[/ QUOTE ]

My title is suggesting that a player who previously has been considered "not a Yankee" is having one of those "special" games that may turn into legend.

Just think if he hits 1 more home run:

4 home runs in a game

at least 10 RBI in 1 game.

How may times has that happened in BASEBALL history????? Oh yeah, he's also doing it at Yankee Stadium, just another historic baseball site.

Read the frickin title again:

"IS A-ROD BECOMMING A YANKEE?" Not is, not will he become; is he in the process of having a "special" game that you rarely see.

Add one more single.

A-Rod is 4-4.

3 homers, 9 RBI's, one single.

Well, if you meant this, than maybe you should have typed it.

Just curious, does anyone know how many 6-6 or better games there have been? Can anyone link to that info.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I am actually curious.

Sure can

baseball almanac link

You'll have to sort through that to find only the 6-6 and filter out the 6-7 ones.

It is sad how far Yankee fans have fallen.

This game is pointless. A-rod will still suck when the game is on the line.

[/ QUOTE ]its a sick display of offense, enjoy it and don't hate. Whenever Manny goes off, I think its just as cool.
