I think ARod needs to get glasses if he is turning in his hottie 34 year old wife Cynthia for a 49 year old cougar who's had more than a few guys share her bed. BTW, nothing against cougars, just making a comparison with this one. Seriously, who knows what's been going on behind closed doors? But, it's clearly a distraction for ARod and I feel sorry for his daughters. You just don't want to do this stuff in New York, where the press will eat you alive. It's also going to have collateral damage for the team, because of ARod's presence.

That said, the Yankees' problems are much deeper than one philandering and wandering husband. They just aren't a very good team this year, and will finish just about .500. Sad, not having the Yankees in the playoffs, but they've reaped what they've sown. Spending too much money and not getting a return for it. The Sox better watch it too, because they could be headed down the same path if not careful. Tampa Bay has the lowest payroll in baseball and are kicking everyone's ass. It ain't all about money. Drive and perciverance have it all over complacency and lack of dedication. I honestly wish Tampa well. It will be fun to see how they finish out in the second half.

He won't come to the Yanks. He's what, 37? I think the Yankees will be trying to downsize their payroll, but letting Giambi walk next year, and possibly Matsui and Damon in '09. He looked especially lazy in today's game. I mean he didn't even trot out of the box when he lined to left field and he certainly didn't hustle down the line to avoid a double play. I agree, I think his days in a BoSox uniform are numbered.
