Clemens stood, face downcast, on the mound as Torre walked out to take the ball from him, Alex Rodriguez gave him a pat on the backside and scattered boos gave way to loud cheering as fans realized this might be the last time they'd see the 354 game winner walk-off that mound. Clemens received pats on the back from teammates in the dugout as he quickly left the stadium never looking up and not once looking back.

From Jon Heyman:Top Yankees officials are apparently giving Alex Rodriguez a pass on his latest appearance in the tabloids, but they were annoyed and concerned enough about his extracurricular activities and a spate of often unflattering celebrity news stories that top team executives -- including owners Hal and Hank Steinbrenner -- staged serious discussions with the superstar slugger...

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Alex Rodriguez was sharing a pimp with Eliot Spitzer, that New York Governor that was entertaining talks of being The First Jewish Presidential Candidate before getting caught in the guestbook of said whorehouse as “Client No. 9.” The madam of that establishment has now come out and [...]

Time to Decide on Ensberg
An interesting tidbit from Ken Rosenthal: Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long, who helped revitalize Alex Rodriguez last season, also is making a difference for Ensberg, who is batting .313 with five doubles in 32 at-bats this spring. "It's shocking," Ensberg says. "Everything he does is so si...
