Speaking of loafing, A-Rod did the same damn thing in last night's game. Yanks are first and second, no one out, with him on second. Perfect double play ball hit to the left side, the ball goes to 2B for the first out.....but instead of relaying to 1B as normally happens, the second baseman goes back to third to easily nab A-Rod who was trotting instead of running. Made A-Rod look bad as hell. Instead of a man on third with 2 outs, and being able to score on a single, the Yanks got a man on first with 2 outs. A-Rod sez "Gee, I never woulda thunk they woulda gone to third instead of first". Well, if he hadda been running, they probably wouldn't have. No wonder the NY fans get on him.

I'm not an A-rod hater, but I did enjoy that one. I appreciate hustle and mental focus and like it when the pros are punished for failing in those areas.
