Where’s the fight?!

A-Rod took a few steps towards the mound when he was hit last night, but quickly re-directed to first base. Why didn’t he charge? He could certainly afford any fines that may be imposed. There may have been some intent in behind the beanball, may not have, but at this point, who cares? Or maybe it’s because he didn’t want his ass handed to him again, Jason Varitek style. Regardless of why he scampered to first base like a scolded dog, he should have done something, anything to light a fire under a team that needs to play better ball and a team who may have put their season on the injured shoulder of a 22-year-old who is going to see Dr. James Andrews. And like Monnie D. said, when that happens, the possibility of positive news emerging is about as slim as the chances of Clay Aiken impregnating a woman the old-fashion way.
