SU has had enough. What is with all of the articles bashing A-Rod?

Here is the truth: the guy is not done yet. Throughout his career, A-Rod has been a guess hitter and I believe he has hit righties better than lefties for the past 21 seasons. That is not the case this season in a small sample of at bats. The Yankees are now fully in humiliation mode in limiting his at bats to only against left-handed pitchers. SU believes it’s coming from Cashman, not Girardi. You don’t have to bat him 3rd or 4th but he is still a force in the line-up. Hicks, one of Cashman’s great off-season acquisitions, is younger and hits .215 with no power. Shouldn’t he have to prove something to earn his at bats?
Plus, once the Yankees become sellers, they will move Beltran and then who is going to DH? SU says bring up Aaron Judge and stick him in right field once Beltran goes. Time to call it a day and move on for this season. It is just not right to throw A-Rod under the bus.
Knick Fans: alert; alert! Melo is actively talking up playing in NY with Durant! Thank goodness one of the great NBA recruiters is on the case. Surely, this will make the difference. SU is still anxiously awaiting Dwight Howard to come to the Knicks. Can you think of a worse signing?
The Mets have a bone spur epidemic and had better quarantine the other pitchers. First Matz and now Syndergaard.
Sad news about Pat Summitt. A fierce competitor who absolutely hated losing. There are coaches who yell on the sidelines at their players and then there was Pat Summitt. She was scary. You have to give her tremendous credit for putting women’s hoops on the map at the college level. Very sad ending to a storied career. Some nice remarks from various UConn players who played against her teams over the years.
Only 2 more days til NBA free agency officially begins. Jeremy Lin has now been linked to over 10 teams. SU says he is a starting point guard in this league. His defense is underrated but he needs to make a smart choice. Do not go near Houston, the Knicks (now that they have Rose) or the Sixers (too many young studs who will ignore and resent him). And of course, do not go near DeMarcus Cousins in Sacramento.
