Is A-Rod "Becomming" a Yankee?????

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

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.

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.

[JoeU]

I found at Elias the most home runs in one game.
