New York Yankees - New York Post:
For one day in his life, there were no shades to Alex Rodriguez, postseason hero, though he put a put on a pair for yesterday’s parade.
A guy who has splattered himself on the floor of more canyons than Wile E. Coyote took a glorious ride up this one...

We’ve all heard a million times about how Alex Rodriguez was no good during the playoffs. Intelligent people just assumed it was a sample size issue while the ignorant paraded around as if they knew something about A-Rod’s personality that others did not. Well, A-Rod has now won a World Series. In all honesty I had never checked out A-Rod’s postseason stats because...

Yankees win world series 2009
Now matter what Alex Rodriguez does for the New York Yankees from here on out, he is now a World Champion and he helped the Yankees win the World Championship in a big way. I, or anyone else, has no right to criticize him anymore. He can go 0-for-35 in the [...]

NEW YORK — It only took six seasons with the Yankees and 16 years overall, but Alex Rodriguez(notes) can finally call himself a World Series champion. The controversial third baseman is no longer among the greatest players to never win a title — sorry Ernie Banks, Dan Marino and Patrick Ewing! — and the relief on A-Rod's face was visible in the champagne celebration that followed...

After Alex Rodriguez helped some team in some sport Leahy cares about win a world title, A-Rod evidently stopped being "the best player in all of American sports who will never win a championship." At least in the eyes of Dan Levy of The Sporting Blog. Levy, a lapsed puckhead from The Great Lockout Purge of 2005, called us today to ask if there were any players in the NHL...

I'm sure nobody cares, but I found this story funny. Mainly because it's amazing how pathetic Jose Canseco has become.Canseco, who has taken to the celebrity boxing matches in his post-baseball career, called out the Yankee slugger while in Springfield, Mass., to promote his match Friday night against Pittsfield, Mass., fighter Todd Poulton.Canseco has long professed a dislike...

A-Rod finished the postseason with a .365/.500/.808 line. Apparently, this had nothing to do with his being a wonderful ballplayer and everything to do with personal transformation, moral courage and self-actualization. Meet your 2009 playoffs MVP: Freakin' Jonathan Livingston Seagull. No other player has been so afflicted with the terrible pop psychology of sportswriters as...

The 2009 New York Yankees are World Champions! Alex Rodriguez (seen above making out with himself) wins his first Championship Ring despite being an admitted steroid user. Much like any big, evil corporation in so many movies, the Yankees use the greenback to get to the top. The Phillies were a noble, scrappy underdog filled [...]

There was only one thing worse than watching Alex Rodriguez's attempt at being a gracious winner last night and that was watching Chris Rose interview anybody. But when Alex had issued his last Ric Flair "whoo" impersonation and Rose had tossed out the last awful question - "Hey, Jeet, do you still have the Canyon of Champions parade map programmed in your GPS...
