Upon further review, A-Rod comes through
Never forget that Alex Rodriguez loves being the cen taur of attention. The man knows what to do with the spotlight, and the camera.
Though A-Rod continues on his path of a mythical postseason, Phillies slugger Ryan Howard continues to be horsemeat.
If this keeps going along the same way, the World Series will be over in five games as Jimmy Rollins predicted. Only J-Roll will have had his money on the wrong horse. It's the Yankees, not the Phillies, who are on pace for a five-game victory after their 8-5 win last night at Citizens Bank Park to go up 2-1 in the Series.
And now that we all know what kind of paintings A-Rod loves to place over his bed -- the mythical centaur, half-man and half-horse -- don't lose sight of the fact that A-Rod has been a mythical performer this postseason.
His first World Series hit turned out to be a home run, a replay home run that smacked into a camera in right field.
"Well, it's only fitting, right?" Rodriguez said.
