Baseball Drapery Rod Set - 28-48"

Derek Jeter is sidelined by injury, and Alex Rodriguez may be jumping over to play Shortstop. Jeter will always be Yankees, but A-Rod wants to be Yankees too.

Alex Rodriguez taking over for Derek Jeter perhaps at Shortstop, in and of itself, is no big deal. Jeter will heal up, and be back at his rightful position soon enough. However, there is an eerie symbolism to it all.

Alex Rodriguez will never be a true Yankee, especially in the heart of Yankees fans. It is something that Rodriguez misses, like a World Series ring, or anything else worthwhile that his gigantic contract cannot buy.

Alex Rodriguez wants to be The Man, and if stats speak, he is. But I am sure, deep in his heart, A-Rod wants what Derek Jeter has, namely, the respect of the Yankees faithful, and a handful of championship rings. A-Rod has the money and the stats, but not what real gamers value.

Jeter too has the money, and great stats to go along with the cash. Real stats. World Series MVP stats. Jeter, big-game hunting in more pressure situations than anyone maybe in the past 40 years in MLB. For a comparison, you may have to look outside of baseball, to Michael Jordan, to find someone who relishes the challenge of the big stage like Jeter.

A-Rod may slip over to his left and 10 steps back on the Yankees defense, over to where Derek Jeter has been patrolling things for the Yankees since the mid-90's. A few feet over, but a world away in how he, A-Rod, and Derek Jeter are known, and how they will be remembered.

MLB ex-star Jose Canseco may be involved in the ongoing Roger Clemens perjury case. IRS investigators are said to want to interview Jose Canseco with concern to the Roger Clemens fiasco.

The saga continues, with now Jose Canseco of all people involved in the Roger Clemens story. Jose Canseco, who helped begin the era of steroids in MLB, is now being called upon to again shed light from the dirty hole that is steroids and HGH. Canseco, a pariah at one point in MLB circles, will only infuriate MLB further. He does not care, and enjoys the publicity his participation brings. He has always been an attention monger, so he seems in his element.

Jose Canseco is now the elder statesman for the issue of steroids with concern to its influence on MLB and MLB culture. Roger Clemens, all of a sudden the poster boy for bad behavior in the MLB, awaits his fate as authorities have a beat on his fastball, unlike the MLB batters that could not keep up with his juice (alleged).

This will be a long and winding road, destined to have more twists and turns than a Stephen King novel. MLB will be dragged through the dirt again, not that it doesn't deserve it, but in the end it will be Roger Clemens' name that will be dirtied, and not MLB. How MLB survives all this without as much as a scratch in its bank account is amazing. It shows that people really do dig the longball, juiced or not.
