What did the five fingers say to the baseball?

That's playing like a $25 million a year guy. My favorite is this comment:
"I was kind of perplexed by it," Rodriguez said. "I don't know what I was trying to do. I know he was coming and I know that the line is mine. They said I could've run him over, but I went out of my way. Looking back at it, I probably should've just run him over."
If he charges like he swats, I don't think Arroyo - or anyone weighing more than 110 lbs - had anything to worry about.
"It was a big momentum changer," Rodriguez said. "I don't want those umpires to meet anymore because every time they meet, it goes against the Yankees."
Then quit screwing up. A-Hole is referring to the fact that the umpires had to convene to reverse the initial call ruling Rodriguez safe. Something that would've been unnecessary had he not tried to cheat. Seems pretty simple.
I don't know how you East Coasters do it, staying up until 4 AM (or however late Monday's game went) or so to watch this series. In any event, there's been some great baseball played these last few days in both series.
How about one of those squiggly things over the o in A-Hole?
How do we east coaster's do it?
1) Postpone all the next morning's meetings until after 10:00 am.
2) Stay up late watching game and not get to sleep till past 2:00 am.
3) Oversleep, and miss meetings rescheduled for 10 am anyway.
4) Show up to office at 10:30, apologize profusely, and have everyone just smile knowingly, since they just showed up 5 minutes ago themselves and missed the meeting too.
5) Repeat.
P.S. Alex Rodriguez must from now on be known either as "A-Hole" or "Bitch Slap."
I just woke up from a micronap. Just .. ate .. lunch .. must .. get .. coffee. This was a bad week to try to give up the morning lattes. These games are killing me, but it is fun to watch the yankee's fans silenced these last few games. I didn't make it through last night's game, or Monday's night game either, having fallen asleep during the 13th inning on Monday, and during the 8th last night. I keep waking up on the couch, covered in pillows and drool, and watching the recap on ESPN. I did wake up to the cheering of the Astro's fans during the 3-run walk off homer by Kent. Tonight is definitely a coffee night.
a terrific nickname for Alex Rodriguez, well done.
hte Red Sox will win tonight
