The New York Yankees became the first team to move on in the Highlander-style baseball postseason tournament by lopping off both heads of the Minnesota Twins. It's good to see, as Alex Rodriguez described them, an "underdog" move on in the postseason.
Oh wait, what's that, you say? Yes, A-Roid referred to the New York Yankees as being "David in this situation." Oh, those poor Yankees. They didn't win the division. They won't have homefield advantage throughout any playoff series (because the NL won the All Star Game this year, remember that!?!).
I don't know how they'll manage to play with the big boys... you know, with their $206 million dollar payroll, top free agents and second-best record in the American League. How ever will they match-up against the Twins ($97.5M), Rays ($71.9M) and Rangers ($55.2M) with their minuscule payroll? Somehow, and the Lord only knows, they survived the first round. We can only hope that they'll continue playing together as a team.

A-Rod, Boras Break-up
After using Scott Boras to negotiate contracts of 10 years, $252 million and 10 years, $275 million, Alex Rodriguez has decided to send a Dear John letter to his agent.
Using the Break Up Letter Generator on DearJohn.com, BLB has obtained the letter sent by A-Rod to Boras to inform him of this decision.
Dear Scott Boras,
I'm terribly sorry I had to do this through a letter, this didn't need to be done, but I wanted to. This note will be the last memory you'll ever have of me, our relationship just isnt working out for me. Don't let it get you all upset inside, we were not a good match. It is because of your history of lying problems that keep me from being even remotely interested in continuing this relationship with you.
You'd be much better off finding a person that can deal with annoying way you stuff your face all day long while watching t.v. on the bed. I might miss certain things about you such as the time you flirted with my father at our family Christmas dinner.
I'm glad this is done and we're going separate directions for good. I think you'll find someone to have a decent conversation with a person of the opposite gender. And hopefully we will be incredibly far away.
Have a nice life,
A-Rod
That's cold, A-Rod, real cold.

Berkman Gets Most Important Hit as Yankee
Lance "Big Puma" Berkman, the long-time Houston Astro who was traded to the Yankees prior to the deadline, had perhaps his most important hit as a Yankee, as far as Red Sox fans are concerned.
Berkman smoked a grounder during batting practice that found its way to the inside of Alex Rodriguez's left ankle. A-Rod apparently was distracted by saying hello to Fox announcer Joe Buck when the ball hit him. According to the New York Post, Rodriguez didn't even see it coming. He was looking off to the side and started hopping around like a school girl at recess.
Teammates Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira found the whole scene rather amusing, as did most people who don't really like A-Rod all that much. Best quote in all of this?
Berkman, hitting .176 after 10 games with the Yankees, said, "Clearly, I'm sorry, but it's not like I was trying to hit him in the teeth and missed lower." We know, Lance, we know. The front office was just happy that you finally made contact that didn't lead to an out.

A-Rod to Star in a Movie?
Variety.com reported earlier today that Alex Rodriguez will appear in a movie alongside Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. The movie is entiteld, "Friends with Benefits."
It's a heart-warming tale about the 2009 New York Yankees, and how Mark Teixeira and A-Rod become great friends during their run. And the benefits? A-Rod was finally able to have a season without all the pressure of being the premiere slugger in the Bronx. What else could it possibly be about?
