Sorry for stepping on to Alex and Cliff's turf, but King Kaufman's Salon.com column today (you have to watch a brief ad first) on the idiocy of the Yankees trading Alex Rodriguez is well worth reading because he just doesn't poke holes in ESPN's illustrious "Baseball Tonight" crew, he impales the talking heads with a pike staff.
That's right, future G.M.'s, listen and learn. The advice here is: Sell low.John Kruk disagreed. That's how crazy the idea the Yanks "need" to trade A-Rod is -- an idea illustrated with video of Rodriguez this week becoming the youngest player ever to hit his 450th career home run. John Kruk is the voice of reason. That crazy.

Demonstrating the kind of oracular vision he demonstrated when trading for washed-up veterans Jeromy Burnitz, Roberto Alomar and Mo Vaughn as general manager of the New York Mets, [Steve] Phillips concluded, "His play won't come back, and he's not ever going to win over the fans in New York. I think it's time to move him before it's too late."
Phillips would probably take it, which is what got him started in the TV business.
Perfect!
And dislike Cardinals fans more.
But he's more of a West Coast baseball guy.
Thanks, I fixed it. I eyeballed the list off of Retrosheet. I think that list was not up to date when I saw it.
ESPN = AARP
That's "Anti-Alex Rodriguez Programming," and it's beyond old at this point.
