A-Rod might not need rest, after all

重點: 生氣勃勃的A-Rod不想休息, 明天可能還會出賽

1. 本來老托想讓A-Rod對上天使的第三場休息的, 但昨天的火力展現, 他要求老托讓他
   上場。

2. 若Betemit守三壘的話, A-Rod不會當DH (不然有兩個人會抓狂)。老托說他還沒決定,
   說A-Rod週一就告訴老托他完全甦醒灌滿了氣, 果然打起來真是如此。A-rod八場沒轟
   只有一打點後, 週一打出5支3包含一轟及三打點。他說週一晚上自己全身都生氣勃勃,
   是一週以來第一次有這種感覺。已經從被爛Tower打到腳的酸痛復甦過來了。

3. 週一打出本季的第40轟後, 已經是生涯第八次至少40轟的球季, 追平了Barry Bonds,
   Harmon Killebrew 和Hank Aaron, 且在有11球季40轟的Babe Ruth後面排名第二位。

4. A-Rod還沒買回他的500轟球, 他說買回球的交涉是他一輩子最困難的談判。(可惡的
   Kowalczyk, 被指點後一定是獅子大開口)

5. 摸二哥配上Moose是老托覺得兩人在對笑臉人是配的不錯, 摸二哥說不覺得天使隊是
   敵人, 只不過是對上的另一隻球隊 (天使的Beat writer訪問摸二哥時, 說Molina來
   洋基隊很爽, 跟大夥處的不錯, 只是那記者有點困惑, 因為上場這麼少, 摸二哥說
   這大堆頭的明星其實都很好相處的)

6. 火球男Zumaya已經從傷兵名單出來了, 大家覺得他和張伯倫有點類似, 他說是有點
   類似啦, 因為他們倆都用盡一切投球, 大家就看看誰投得猛。老虎總教練Leyland在
   洋基球場時, 注意到張伯倫投球時, 會像Zumaya一樣假裝用袖子擦臉, 卻偷描球場測
   速槍的數字。洋基再來要排出老克, 小王,大帝, Moose再與老虎一決勝負。

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- By snapping out of his power slump Monday, Alex Rodriguez
may have convinced Joe Torre not to give him today off.

"He's auditioning," the Yankees manager joked before last night's game.

Torre told Rodriguez on Monday he was planning to keep Rodriguez out of the
lineup today, but Rodriguez has been pushing Torre to let him play.

If Rodriguez sits, Wilson Betemit would play third base -- and Rodriguez
likely would not be the designated hitter.

"We haven't committed to anything yet," Torre said. "He came in (Monday)
saying he felt revived, and he played like it."

Rodriguez had no homers and one RBI in eight games before going 3-for-5 with
a homer and three RBI on Monday.

"My body felt live (Monday) night, for the first time in about a week," he
said.

Rodriguez conceded that it took him longer than he expected to recover from
being hit on the right calf by a pitch on Aug. 7

"I haven't felt like I had my legs under me for about a week," he said.
"(Monday) was the first day I felt like I had my legs back. It was pretty
sore for about a week, which is pretty surprising.

"Looking back, I should have taken a day or two to rest this calf."

The homer Monday was Rodriguez's 40th of the year. With eight 40-homer
seasons in his career, Rodriguez tied with Barry Bonds, Harmon Killebrew and
Hank Aaron for second behind Babe Ruth (11).

"It's pretty awesome," Rodriguez said. "It's pretty humbling."

Rodriguez still has not procured the ball from his 500th career homer.

"Toughest negotiation of my life," he said.

Jose Molina, acquired from the Los Angeles Angels on July 21, got the start
last night against his former team. Jorge Posada, who caught all 10 innings
Monday, was out of the lineup.

Torre said he decided to start Molina last night instead of tonight because
Molina and Mike Mussina worked well together on Aug. 11 at Cleveland.

"They're not the enemy," Molina said. "Just another team I've got to play
against."

Joel Zumaya, the hard-throwing Detroit Tigers reliever who came off the
disabled list yesterday, has taken notice of the similarities between himself
and Yankees rookie Joba Chamberlain.

"We'll have a little duel, play a little burnout, see who throws harder,"
Zumaya told Booth Newspapers.

Tigers manager Jim Leyland noticed last weekend that Chamberlain, like
Zumaya, will check out his readings on the stadium radar gun while pretending
to wipe his face on his sleeve.

"I got a kick out of it," Leyland said. "The kid in New York did it exactly
the same, to a tee."

Projected pitching matchups this weekend in Detroit: Roger Clemens vs. Andrew
Miller on Friday; Chien-Ming Wang vs. Jeremy Bonderman on Saturday; Phil
Hughes vs. Jair Jurrjens on Sunday; and Mike Mussina vs. Justin Verlander on
Monday.
