From the All-Baseball-News-Must-Come-From-the-Eastern-Seaboard department, it seems that Alex “Slappy” Rodriguez does not care for Curt Schilling’s critique of A-Rod’s unconventional technique of trying to slap the ball away from an opposing player.
“I just hope he continues to talk about me and my teammates,” the New York Yankees’ third baseman said Friday. “It’s going to give us great motivation to beat him up in the future.”
Of course, maybe you wouldn’t have needed said motivation if you might have tried laying down a bunt or two against the gimpy pitcher whose ankle was being held together with a suture, huh?

It's funny.. I used to think that A-Rod had class. And maybe he did. But now... he's a Yankee. Need I say more?
Then again, the idea of A-Rod versus Schilling in a two-men-enter-one-man-leaves sort of Thunderdome confrontation has an obvious appeal to me.
No matter who loses, how can I lose?
