A-Rod has brought the city of New York plenty of drama with his attitude, his poor playoff performances, and his use of performance-enhancing drugs. He has continued to bring us lots of drama after returning from a hip injury. But this time, New Yorkers are cheering instead of booing. It was easy for Yankees fans to get excited about his return when he hit a home run in his first at-bat off of the DL against Baltimore. Then, a day after receiving a warm welcome in his first game in the new Yankee Stadium, A-Rod hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to beat the Twins. This was the second straight walk-off win for the Bronx Bombers; a night after Melky Cabrera hit a game-winning single to beat the Twins in the first game of the series. Despite facing good starting pitching and a great effort from Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, the Yankees managed to record a third straight walk-off victory. Johnny Damon hit a game-winning bomb in the bottom of the 10th to give the Yankees their 5th straight win. A-Rod hit another key homer that ignited the 7th inning Yankee rally that tied the game at 2. All these dramatic finishes have overshadowed phenomenal starts by CC Sabathia, Joba Chamberlain, and A.J. Burnett. Burnett has added another flair to these thrilling finishes with his trademark pie-in the face. He nailed both A-Rod and Damon with pies during interviews after their game-winning homers. This just goes to show that the Yanks are not only winning, but also enjoying the game. They are playing as a team and expressing great team chemistry. Maybe A-Rod can overcome all of the adversity surrounding him and return to greatness to help the Yankees reach the playoffs. But the bigger question is, how can Damon get back at Burnett? Perhaps Johnny could dump Gatorade over A. J. if he throws a no-hitter. The way the Yankees are playing, you don’t know what could happen next.
