Alex Rodriguez laughed. Barry Bonds had just suggested that if he does indeed break Hank Aaron's home run record, A-Rod will top Bonds' figure before too long.

Even Joe Torre says Alex Rodriguez was out of line. The New York Yankees manager concluded A-Rod shouldn't have distracted a Toronto fielder this week during a popup, joining a chorus of baseball people who said the two-time AL MVP broke the sport's unwritten code.

If todayâs doubleheader between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays is washed away for the second straight day, one can only wonder if

A little rest did a lot of good for Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod rejoined the Yankees' lineup and showed off All-Star form last night, hitting a home run that tied him with Lou Gehrig on the career list and leading host New York to a wild 14-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

He had anticipated being at the starting line of tonight's fourth game of the American League Championship Series. Instead, Tim Wakefield found himself in the middle of a pitching meltdown last night, called upon to try and lend soothing relief in a sorry excuse for playoff baseball.

Another game, another postseason classic. It will be news if the Red Sox and Yankees ever play a yawner. Last night certainly does not qualify.

The only reason Hideki Matsui batted from the cleanup spot Thursday was because Alex Rodriguez took the day off. But Matsui certainly made the most out of the opportunity.

If anything, there will be a little more sizzle around the ballpark. There won't be so much focus on Julio Lugo's slump, or J.D. Drew's batting average, or Curt Schilling's injury, or the fact that there's not much of a race in the American League East right now.
