The New York Yankees are visiting the Atlanta Braves tonight on ESPN and in the Top of the 4th as Alex Rodriguez was returning to the dugout after striking out to Tim Hudson there was a young looking man/kid in a blue shirt drinking what I believe to be a beer out of a plastic cup.
The drink seems to be light-brownish (like a beer) and last I remember they don’t serve apple juice at MLB stadiums and if they did I don’t know of any non-bottle drinks except a beer.
His buddy’s face is priceless too!

I have to admit that, when Alex Rodriguez was up with the bases loaded in the 8th inning last night, I expected him to strike out, or otherwise do nothing to get the run(s) in. You can't blame me for this. Everyone knows how badly the Yankees perform with the bases loaded.While I watched his at-bat, the stat popped up on the screen for what seemed like the 100th time: "Alex...

A lot is made of the grand slam. It’s one of the more exciting plays in an otherwise mostly staid game. It’s the most runs you can score with one swing of the bat. And now Alex Rodriguez has more of them than almost anyone ever with the exception of Lou Gehrig, whom ARod tied [...]

If anyone knows a thing or two about being one of the most hated athletes in the world, it’s Alex Rodriguez. Baseball fans hate steroid users. They hated A-Rod to begin with, and then he admitted to being a steroid user. With LeBron James attempting to exorcise his demons once again and win an NBA championship after failing in his first two attempts, it only makes sense that someone...

Alex Rodriguez feels the pain and suffering of LeBron James — A-Rod is no stranger to being the butt of a joke, so who could relate more to the Ringless King than the Yankees slugger. Rodriguez said on ESPN New York’s The Michael Kay Show that it’s “not fun being the villain.”“Sometimes I feel so bad for him,” Rodriguez said. “I feel like I...

The Yankees will get their first chance to see young phenom Bryce Harper this weekend when they face the Nationals and Alex Rodriguez is among those excited to see him.

Harper is just 19, but he has a .303/.384/.548 line through...

Last night in Atlanta, Alex Rodriguez hit the 23rd grand slam of his career, typing Lou Gehrig. Even if Nick Swisher‘s two-run homer later the same inning put the Yankees on top for good and was the bigger play according to Win Probability Added (WPA), tying up the game on one swing with his team down four runs is a pretty nice feat for A-Rod, the man who still bears the stigma...

The All-Star Game is less than a month away. Amazing. Seems like it was only yesterday that the season started. Then I look at the 1800+ tater trots that have been tracked and I realize just how long it's really been.

Atop the grand slam list
As the New York Yankees visited the Atlanta Braves, the Yanks found themselves in a late hole.

Braves pitcher Jonny Venters knew that one mistake could dearly...
